    Hey now. One of my friends is a roller derby chick. She's not fat.

    But she is kind of wannabe rock-a-billy. No comment on the skank part.

    As amusing as this roller derby tangent has become, for the record, Olympic roller sports also include inline speed skating and roller figure skating. I'm not exactly sure which events are up for the bid. In the same vein, the International Wushu Federation governs both taolu and sanda, but only taolu is part of the Olympic bid, and only solo taolu, limited to a few specific forms.

    If the olympics wants to make cuts, well, there's a huge issue with medal count. Every country wants to insert events where they will get more medals. We saw special stipulations with Korea and TKD. Some sports, like the races (swimming and track) seem to me to dole out a ton of medals for each division. I feel some of that could be shaved off, and we could keep wrasslin.

    Go Slovenia!

    Woah. That's us!

    Follow the link for the vid. Not sure which TCKFMC year this was exactly, but here's the 2013 TCEC thread.

    Good to see that Tiger Claw logo so large.

    As wrestling is getting pushed out of the Olympic Games, a new martial art may take its place. Terrel Brown reports.
