What do you think is the most dangerous Olympic sport?

Boxing is the most dangerous Olympic sport although not as dangerous in the professionals. The World Medical Association has called for it to be banned as have other medical associations. The reason is that the boxer intends to deliberately hurt his opponent.\n\nThe Guardian newspaper in the UK thinks that the luge is the most dangerous winter Olympic sport. The Atlanta Journal Constitution thinks it is the most dangerous winter Olympics. The contender would be in the Winter Olympics because the athletes are travelling at dangerous speeds at slippery surfaces such as ice or snow. The frontrunners would be luge, skeleton or one of the skiing-snowboarding events as the most dangerous event in the Winter Olympics.

Hockey and lacrosse, the two most violent sports on this continent. If something's nagging you, just go out and find a game, take it out on some people, and afterwards, they will think no less of you for being a hard player. lol

Soccer...to me its the most physically demanding sport (besides Rugby).  Its also one of the few sports out there that hasnt changed to accomodate the fans.  Most people tend not to like it cause its low scoring but thats what makes it exciting.  Also when a goal IS scored...its actually worth something unlike in hockey where now everyone and thier brother can score a goal because of the rule changes for the fans.

Baseball is the most difficult sport because of how difficult it is to hit a baseball. I'm not sure of how many other sports there are where 30% success rate makes you an all-star player.\nBaseball is also very fatguing in that the season is so long that it is difficult to stay healthy for such a long time.

Ive seen bad injuries but they do not occur very often.  paintball is actually one of the safest sports around because one slight infraction of the rules will have the player ejected form the premises.  i have played for years and i have never seen anyone ejected.

I am a cheerleader and of course cheerleading is a sport!!!!!!\nit actually is the most dangerous sport in the world too!!!! more people get injured in it then any other sport.....\n\nit is a sport because you run around, scream as loud as you can, lift and throw ppl up into the air, do jumps, and do gymnastics....\n\nanyone that thinks cheer isnt a sport...i would really like to see them try to do all-star cheer, or any kind of cheer at that

ice skating and gymnastics, they're just so pretty...  i would also like to see bowling added (Thats my sport) btw to all yas who say thats not a real sport, i would like to see you bowl a 300, if it were that easy we'd all be, and trust me its not, im still waiting for my ring...   Also bowling is the 2nd most participated sport in the world, or at least the US, not sure... and i dont think it would compare to lets say the gymnastics ratings, but i think it can get people interested...  I think what they should do even if theres not enough interest in the sport to do it every year, they could add a few rotating sports, until it catches on... just do it every other olympics or something, but at least it gets the sport noticed and in the door...  ok im rambling\n\nEm

I think that there will be a tight race between the USA,, Canada, Russia and probably Germany or something like that. However, my bets are on the USA, considering that we always have one of the largest amount of athletes participating in the Olympics than any other country.

every sport has its risks. i wish my parents had encouraged me in ANY sport when I was a child. i never did anything til I was 35 years old and discovered I had a great talent for distance running. What could I have done in my younger years??? I'll never know....Still my parents are scared I'll be hurt....i pay no attention now, but when I was a child I read books  a lot, that's it.

I like the figure skating, bobsledding, downhill skiing.  My favorite though is curling, since it's the only sport I can do.

Bryant Gumbel from Real Sports on HBO said that. He said many career damaging things. Like the winter olympics being like a white convention.

Yes Brazils attack is possibly the most deadly ever.  i really dont think anyone can stop them but maybe if Brazil would play Italy i think the italians could do deasent job of shutting them down.  Brazil will win the world cup.
