What is this retarded Olympic "sport"?

post #1 of 47
Thread Starter 
Looks like a bunch of ugly women running around with a football/volleyball, bouncing and passing it and then throwing it towards a net with a goalie.

It's on MSNBC now and I haven't seen them explain the name. Because it's the worst thing in town.

Archery?...

Sounds like you've just gotten a Women's Team Handball ADRENALINE RUSH.

I warned the world that giving women the right to vote would lead to something like this, but no one listened.

I think it's handball. Kinda like soccer for morons. I saw it on TV the other day and was equally as shocked that it's an olympic sport.

Also, the goalie looks like she's wearing pyjamas.

A Google search reveals the identity of my day terrors. WINNER.

Yup, handball. I was mocking it on the Olympic thread and it actually has defenders here at CHUD!

Meanwhile, softball is out as an Olympic sport after this year, Nick. And I know you love that sport like it's candy.

What the heck? I've never heard of this sport.

This ain't handball. Handball is two people and a wall.
post #21 of 47
Yep, I just found myself unwillingly mesmerized by the same event, Nick. Apparently, it's for people who really, really like soccer, but just can't grasp the rule about not touching the ball with your hands.

Hitler introduced this as an Olympic sport, probably a sadistic post Third Reich revenge plan against humanity.

That's handball. This is team handball. Or so I understand it.

Incidentally, I'd sort of like to see a bunch of Germans play Team Racquetball.

What's hilarious, Nick, is that if there's a hotbed for team handball in the U.S., you're smack dab in the middle of it. The U.S. women's handball team trains in Atlanta.

EDIT: And I renew my comment from the other thread. Team Handball does not even sniff the medal stand for "retarded" Olympic sports.

I hope a Cessna hits them.

When I saw the thread title I was sure you would be talking about "speed walking". That shit is way more retarded than handball.
post #28 of 47
I think it's called "Speed Racing" and yes, it is in the top 5 stupidest "sports" in the Olympics.

I like the one where a little girl prances around waving a ribbon.

Didn't you basically just describe Rugby.
post #33 of 47
It's little known here, but having played both handball and baseball, I can attest to the fact that the former one is way more demanding that the latter one and way less boring to practice. Not that it hold a candle to hockey, but hey...

To the rest of the world, outside of the US, Canada and Japan, baseball is viewed as a sport where some dudes are being lazy on the grass while there a few ones having some fun and exercising.

And let's be honest, there's a shitload of weird sports in the Olympics...

I didn't realize "My Basement" was an Olympic sport. Let me tell you, the Chinese rule that as well.

Yeah, it's more like Water Polo for people who can't swim.

Not nearly has retarded as "Trampoline."

Rugby is nothing like those or soccer. A handball or soccer player wouldn't last 5 minutes in a Rugby match.

Btw, 7 Rugby might be entered to the Olympics soon. Also, Golf.

How about when Matt Lauer and Al Roker do it?

I really hope their salary is worth this humiliation.

Wilt Chamberlin was a team handball legend

I guess giving Nick a copy of Forever the Moment DVD is a bad idea.

If I could give a little green box, you guys could split it.

Norway just beat Korea in the Handball semifinals, but the slo-mo video shows that the winning ball was about 3 inches from the goal line when the time ran out, so really it shouldn't have counted.

Too bad for the Koreans, cause the future lives for them and their families were pretty Dependant on a victory. In Korea Handball is one of the biggest sports and these girls would have received a HUGE bonus that would have secured their families for the rest of their lives, if they had won the final.

And this thread doesn't have anything to do with me dissing Baseball and praising handball in the other thread right?

the cool thing about this sport is the fact that the matches almost always gets settled in the final seconds of the match. In this link you see one of the latest matches, our team were given a final penalty throw. The time had run out so the judges gave us 1 additional second to throw it. And this shot is really 1 in a thousand.

I hope you choke on it.

Though the mind starts to wonder when you see a chick doing a flying split.

I like this sport better than soccer, so fuck y'all.

I do think the ribbon stuff is kind of neat in a Cirque de Soleil type of way, but it is by no means a sport. At least figure skating requires some sort of balance and strong fucking ankles.
