"My brother would com
pete in the U.S. and would
tell me about the A&M
Judo Team and how good
it was."
- ROBERT DANIN
A&M Judo Team Member
half of his home country, he will not
be able to qualify to compete for
Ecuador in Atlanta this summer.
“I was not able to go home and
enter the qualifying matches, nor
the Pan-American Games, because
of the school calendar,” Danin said.
“It just kept me from going home.”
The success Danin and the Judo
Team has enjoyed can be attributed
to the help of A&M Recreational
Sports and the team’s fund-raising
efforts.
The team competes annually in
approximately 20 tournaments
across the state. The money need
ed to travel to the competitions
comes mostly from Recreational
Sports and University funding.
“If it weren’t for the help of Rec
Sports and the school in funding, I
don’t think we would have as good
a team as we have right now,”
Danin said.
“You can see our success in the
number of competitors we have in
vited to the U.S. Open (judo tourna
ment) and other competitions out
side the United States, such as the
Mexico City Invitational.”

New Olympic events
have become ridiculous
wii>
10,
Pat James, The Battalion
Freshman Adian Aguirre and junior
John Nguyen practice their technique.
H ave you heard about the
newest sport to be added
to the Olympic roster?
Ajrmchair frisbee.
This might seem ridicu
lous, but the recent trend in
adding new Olympic events
suggests that anything re
quiring movement will be
come an official event.
While certain sports such as
baseball and tennis have re
cently been approved as official
sports, other poser sports have
attempted to fool the Olympic Committee into
thinking they are real sports too.
For example, ballroom dancing was petition
ing to become a
sanctioned sport.
Please.
The American
Heritage Dictio
nary defines a
sport as “a spe
cific diversion,
usually involv
ing physical ex
ercise and hav
ing a set form
and body of
rules; a game.”
Since when
Is dancing a
game? Sure you
compete against
other teams, but there is no game involved.
Tennis and baseball are games. Whether or
not you can dip your partner is not.
Dancing does not involve serious training
like what a track athlete or basketball player
must go through.
While ballroom dancing is an acquired skill,
I’m sure the ancient Greeks were not thinking,
“Hey, I hope ballroom dancing becomes a sport
in the 20th century.”
While some events have been denied the
privilege of becoming an official part of the
games, others actually qualify in the Olympic
Committee’s eyes.
Rhythmic gymnastics is the latest travesty.
Now I know gymnastics has been an event since
the beginning, but why add the rhythmic part?
What is so great about throwing a ball up in
the air, turning a cartwheel and then catching
the ball between your legs.
Sure you have to be talented, but why have
props? This isn’t a beauty contest with a tal
ent portion.
Synchronized swimming — the only skill in
volved is holding your breath underwater for a
long period of time. This is perhaps the greatest
example of how things are getting out of control.
Just because something requires physical ex
ertion does not mean it is an Olympic sport.
With all the new events, we might as well
let breakdancing be the new event of the
2000 Olympics. It requires energy, skill, and
all that spinning sure can knock the wind out
of someone.
The Olympic Committee needs to put its
foot down and
stop the flood
of new events.
The Olympics
symbolize the ca-
maraderie and
unity between
the nations of
the world. This
is what the an
cient Greeks
wanted when the
games began.
The intsnt
was to not lit
differences in re
ligion, creed or
color interfere.
Everyone is equal and everyone is there to
be joined in the spirit of competition.
Instead, the Olympics have become a spec
tacle of how many sports we can cram into a
month-long festival.
The Olympics have become overburdened by
events that no one attends nor cares about. Who
gets excited about tickets to team handball?
The International Olympic Committee needs
to rethink the standards it uses to evaluate
which sports should be incorporated into the
world’s biggest sporting event.
The IOC has already taken the right step by
banning exhibition sports, but it needs to go one
step further.
Don’t allow events which are not traditional
sports. If they really need another one, my sug
gestion is football — at least it’s a sport.
