Let me ask you this do you have Olympics fever? I do I love the Olympics do you?

Yeah, I really enjoy the Olympics as well. I love my my favorite story out of the Olympics so far is the

pommel horse guy. Do you know what I'm talking about?

him because he confuses the nerd jock binary right like he's a nerd he studies electrical engineering, he wears these like nerdy glasses, does

rubix cubes, but he also lifts the US to a medal in artistic gymnastics.

Pommel horse came from like as a sport because it's just sort of a weird one.

So I looked it up and it originates from the Romans who used wooden horses to teach mounting and dismounting.

Oh.

Yeah.

And I love that because you know at some point there was some little gay Trojan that was like what if we did a few little flips and spins when we got on our horses and then charged into battle?

What if we had some panache? Yes. And the opposing armies would just stand down because they'd be like, we can't compete with that. That's too good.

Your forces are simply too beautiful

to slaughter in battle.

We surrender.

Exactly.

But then that got me thinking about like what

are the Olympic sports that used to be in the Olympics but
