I actually think that's one of the sports that deserves to be there.

It's a functional sport that in some parts of the world may be necessary.

Much like running, swimming, jumping, kayaking etc...

It's golf, tennis, football etc.. that I struggle with being there.

Yep, don't see how anyone can have a problem with it. It's got everything everyone says they want Olympic sports to be.

Popular? Tick
Gender balance? Tick
Not dominated by two or three countries? Tick
Clear rules? Tick
Not decided by judges? Tick
Not just for rich people? Tick
Looks good on TV? Tick
Existing events aren't bigger than the Olympics? Tick

It's the perfect Olympic sport.

There’s no way they’ll have this event again. It’s being ridiculed everywhere.

I watched a couple of rounds of it, but I found it a bit cringe. I think it's the setting. Having two teenage girls coming out by themselves and then trying to act all hard in broad daylight. Usually when you see these things online, it's more of a group thing, so you get that energy from your 'crew' (I assume that's what they call it - I'm in my 40s). Using shit music didn't help either. The commentators suggested they weren't allowed to use anything with lyrics because it might be unfair to any dancers who don't speak English. But also the commentators did absolutely nothing to tell you how they were being judged or what the rules were.

Obviously the main problem is that dancing isn't a sport. But anyway, I look forward to the ballroom dancing in Los Angeles and then cheerleading in the Olympics after that.

We could move Strictly Come Dancing from a Saturday evening entertainment to an Olympic Sport!
It’s apparently got over competitive anyway these days, so should fit in well. :-) ;-)
