The routine that Garfield is parodying and outdoing in the first link ("Fancy Juggling") above. My non-juggler friends tend to love Bliss and misread Garfield as just a soulless show-off with more cuts. [jutta, Apr 02 2006]

It's not that jugglers lack competitions. There are the IJA competitions. (Jason Garfield, the guy in the video, won individuals twice) and, as of recently, the WJF that's trying to promote juggling as a competitive (although not olympic) sport. |

The juggler Albert Lucas has been on a quest to get juggling, or maybe joggling, or maybe club swinging, into, or back into, the olympics. He's pulled a pretty good snow job on at least one journalist, but I don't see many jugglers rallying behind him. |

Combat juggling is very entertaining, and a hoot to play. Every contestant juggles three clubs, and tries to get every other competitor to drop his clubs--it's demolition derby for nerds. When the last two are circling each other, and everyone else is beating their clubs together--boom, boom, boom-boom-boom--it would be great TV. |

Bone for another "sport" requiring judging. |
