Olympic sports? really?

What's up with Olympic sports that don't require athletic ability?

How can you be Olympic material without being uber-athlete of the century?

Skeleton.

That's all I have to say.

Curling?

I think it is more of they use some atheletic ability (how ever small it is) and they are the best of it in the world.

Good point, Bird. Although, I do like ice skating and dancing. I remember it so fondly from my childhood.
