    I think I got 7 before I got bored and had them fill it in. :)

    I've actually SEEN Olympic trampoline. They get up pretty high. I could do a butt drop and that was about it.
    Olympic level table tennis is amazing.

    I missed handball, judo and taekwondo, giving up with five minutes left. I'm particularly disappointed about the last one, 'cause I did a story on a national-level taekwondo kid a while back. Guess I shouldn't have quit so soon.

    Can you tell I love the Olympics? :D

    I got 24, and the only one I feel dumb about missing is gymnastics...

    The others I missed were all mentioned above (Kayak, Trampoline, Handball, Judo, Modern Pentathalon, Shooting, Triathalon)...

    I was quite proud when I got equestrian, taekwondo, and table tennis...Also, I wouldn't have gotten sailing if not for all the algae stories last week...

    Matt Leinart decided to play in the NFL instead of waiting for his shot at gold.

    Because outside of the running, it's got nothing really to do with a track, possibly? The other disciplines are shooting, equestrian, swimming and fencing.
