What is your least favorite Summer Olympic Games sport?

There were many sports at the Olympic Games in London 2012 - what was your least favorite? This poll results have been archived as there have been changes to the Olympic sports list with rugby and golf added. You can now vote on your least favorite sport from the current Olympic sports list.



We also realized that our definition of sports is different to the IOC, and although synchronized swimming is listed here, it actually comes under the banner of swimming (aquatic sports), as does diving and water polo.

Results

Out of a total of 1307 votes, the least favorite sport was found to be equestrian with 23% of the votes, but that did not stop wrestling (only 2% here) being the actual sport dropped from the sports list for 2020. There were plenty of other sports ranked lower too.
