Olympics:

Now I love me some Olympics. I just love watching people who are THAT good at anything. I'll watch just about any event and don't really care who wins. But there are things I wonder about.

How is nationality determined? There is a woman who rides on the Irish Equestrian Team who was born in and lives in Co. Armagh. That's in the United Kingdom. So why does she ride for Ireland? Do you just get to be like, "Yeah, I want to ride for Ireland" or are there some sort of criteria? Who decides whether an athelete is eligible to compete for a specific country?

Why doesn't NBC show more handball? It's awesome to watch and very easy to understand. I understand that things like dressage are difficult to show on TV because they aren't very viewer-friendly, but handball seems like a natural fit. And on similar grounds, why isn't racquetball an Olympic sport? It's way more legitimate than, say, trampolining and beach volleyball.

Why don't yachters compete on co-ed teams? Based on my sailing experience, I don't believe that sex gives a sailor an advantage and the men's and women's races are the same. In equestrian events, men and women compete against each other, and I see no reason that it couldn't be done for sailing as well.
