Modern pentathalon
A sport for trust fund kids that are athletic but dont truly excel at any one sport.

Shooting and archery
These may be cool to some but dont belong in the Olympics.

Sailing
This isnt much of a sport. Might as well have car racing. Another sport for the rich.

Equestrian
A playground for the rich. Do the competitors ever change or is it the same group of old guys every 4 years until they die?
Rodeo is pretty cool too but its righfully not in the Olympics.

Judo
Not relevant today.

Ping pong
Tennis and badminton are enough.

Theres a few more but Ill leave it at that and let others post what theyd like to see gone. Nothing worse than flipping the channel to Olympic coverage and seeing one of these dreadful sports.
