Arnold Schwarzenegger Talks About Getting Bodybuilding in the Olympics at the 2011 Ar

[nuknuk]

Good or bad idea?

 

[big in vegas]

I think it would be good exopsure

 

[MadMaxx]

I for one wld like to see that

 

[muscleken]

great great great. In todays world id say it has about a 1 in 100 chance of making it with all the hysteria around steroids from ignorant pissants upset they can't get big. Glad to see now that Arnold is no longer governor he is coming back to the sport that made him. He turned his back on us for a while for political reasons. Maybe he can start by putting his picks back up at Gold's Venice, the mecca of bodybuilding, before he starts talking about olympics. Ill beleive it when i see it.

 

[Presser]

I say it would be good! But could wind up being very bad! Theres no way of knowing until it actualy happens!

And fuck him! It only takes one time in my book to turn your back on someone or something, and after that theirs no back peddling! He could have done so so so much more for bodybuilding while he had the platform to do it with. Its too late now in my book! Deuch bag

The WADA will have a field day with this though, that's what would make this a very bad thing

 

[Ox 51]

If it were in the Olympics it would be heavily tested, wouldn't it? Which would exclude the best bodybuilders. So, I don't see it working.

That's what I'm saying about WADA, they'll have fun doing all these random tests and what not on all the winners

yeah ur ansolutly right, it could never happen actualy now that i think about it!

 

[big in vegas]

It would have to be WBNF or OCB or some other natural federation

 

[saudades]

With most bb'ers on the juice and the Olympics testing for it, I don't see it happening either.

I know I will get hated on for this but I don't feel body building is a sport, more of a competition like a beauty padgent, and I'm not comparing the two. Ofcourse I don't think curling and shooting is an Olympic sport either but they are.

 

[saudades]

OT: Have you ever tried curling? It takes a lot of skill to do that. I tried it once, and it is extremely hard to do. But I would agree with bodybuilding being a "pageant" -like competition.

The way I look at sports is that if you have to "train" to be good at it, no matter what training involves, it's a sport. If just anyone can be good at it, then it's probably not a sport. A beauty pageant is a far cry from this for the simple fact that 90% of the people in them either have fake hair, eye lashes, tons of makeup, and even comestic surgery.

You can "train" for a spelling bee but that doesn't make it a sport. When the outcome is decided by a judge and not you just seems more like a contest than a sport.

Agreed, they should fight to the death instead of a final posedown!:nope:

 

[mickdoo]

Whatever it is I love it and for me its a lifestyle, but yes I would like to see it in the Olympics. You are judged like a Beauty contest, but so are figure skaters,gymnastics, etc etc etc. Does it it take skill? I think so. Does it take dedication, discipline yada yada yada. To me its the best sport out there then comes mma. If you feel like its a pageant that's fine. I don't see it as such.

I don't consider studying "training," but I see your point. I guess it's a judgement call on whether it's a sport or not, same thing that cheerleaders have been arguing about for years
