They are both examples of overblown excess, but I have to go with the Opening Ceremonies because they signal the beginning of Olympic competition. The Closing Ceremonies force you to look ahead and realize their won't be another Olympics for 2 years.
2-man (or Woman) Beach Volleyball or 6-man (or Woman) indoor Volleyball?

From a terribly chauvanistic point of view, with the memories on Bondi still fresh:
2 woman (or, I guess, man  ) beach volleyball.
Ian Thorpe: Greatest ever?
Yes or no.

Less than 4, and certainly less than 7.
Are the Olympics really amateur or professional?

professional
What's worse in diving?
Clipping the board with your feet or a spectacular back-whacker

I think dressage is more boring than shooting, but neither is the most boring "sport".
Most boring AND pointless:
Synchronized swimming or rhythmic gymnastics
