 <title>The Olympics Are Weird</title>
 <link>http://cafe.jenkster.com/olympics_are_weird</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve just been taking a look at &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.beijing2008.cn/sports/&quot;&gt;the list of Olympic events&lt;/a&gt;.  Weird, weird, weird.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Softball, water polo and &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;BMX &lt;/span&gt;biking are in there, but not rounders.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Judo, two flavours of gymnastics and Taekwondo make the list, but no Tai Chi.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Wrestling, boxing and fencing, but no fisticuffs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And worst of all, running and jumping, but no climbing trees.&lt;br /&gt;
Or &quot;putting on make-up while you&#039;re there&quot;&lt;sup class=&quot;footnote&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#fn1&quot;&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m all for the Olympics, especially when someone else is paying for it, but they really ought to have consulted an expert (like me) when assembling the event list.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;And&lt;/i&gt; I couldn&#039;t find a single mention of &lt;a href=&quot;http://flickr.com/photos/jenkster/2635109684/&quot;&gt;Sir Daley Thompson&lt;/a&gt; anywhere...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;footnote&quot; id=&quot;fn1&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; Thank you, Mr Izzard.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
