Yes it does sometimes seem odd what gets included in the games. At school, we developed a theory about one of our classmates who had an extraordinary talent.
He could, on command, recognisably fart the opening line to the national anthem, in tune and at any time. We postulated that it was indeed of an Olympian standard and that were it to be included, he was an almost certain gold medalist.
Sadly it never was, and he went on instead eventually to hold a very senior position in the Hong Kong and Shanghai bank, a job he has since retired from, but who knows what greatness he could actually have achieved, had his unique talent been recognised and coached.
