Summer Biathalon: Off-road bikeing and long bow shooting. Works a lot like the winter version.
The argument is “baseball’s not popular in a decent spread of countries across the world”, being concentrated on North America, plus Japan. At least cricket has representation in western countries on both sides of the globe, and plenty of third world nations in between. Not as good a representation as rugby sevens, though (I’m starting to feel evangelical about this one 
)
Jousting.
Longsword fighting.
Anbo-Jitsu.
Freestyle Parkour.
Dueling pistols. * (Maybe split it into “traditional” and “Western Style.”)
Soccer…with a flaming ball.
Women’s Capoeira. Gads, I wish I could find the commercial that reminded me of this one.
Sabre rattling.
All-terrain football.
*actually was an event, in the past.
So…are you saying I was getting the name wrong, or that they actually play with a ball that’s been set on fire?
Ahhh, I though ‘flaming’ was a mild expletive, not an adjective 
Dodgeball would be awesome, it has international “incident” written all over it!
Who gives a fuck about what people in North America think. And for your information, dickhead, they dont play much cricket in Europe. They do however play it in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, which gives it a potential audience in the billions, who do happen to give two shakes about cricket.
And chess should be an olympic sport. And obstacle swimming (which once was, i believe)

Chess is a purely mental activity, not a sport.
It depends on your definitions. If sport involves a physical component, then chess isn’t one.
However there is ‘sport of the mind’, which is (I believe) ‘Denksport’ in German.
Chess is certainly a competitive, balanced, skilful contest.
Incidentally I fail to understand how ‘synchronised swimming’ counts as a sport (and even more so ‘solo synchronised swimming’!).
Drinking Chess. ( That way fans can play at home.)
Dodgeball for summer.
Snowball fights for winter.
How about for making the pool more interesting, a rousing game of Marco Polo while syncronized swimming is going on?
If they do skate luge, then they have to give into skate skeleton. (Cause it would be Darwin in Action.)
those people are nuts.
Timed sandcastle/snowfort building.
Bungee.
Irish Mail.
Flugtag.
Hot dog eating.
Do NOT insult other posters in Cafe Society. If you’re that incensed, start a thread in the Pit. This is a warning, don’t do this again, mamboman.
I’d like to see Karate, or martial arts in general.
I realize there are many different styles so I guess it would be hard to judge people between styles. I suppose if they stuck to sparring and ignored katas and weapons, they could end up with something like UFC.
But when I see judging of things like gymnastic floor routines and figure skating, i wonder if martial arts could be handled similarly.
Such nice language for the Cafe Society! Did you forget what forum you were in?
I’d like to see a multiple-stage (say, 5 or 6 stages) bicycling road race.
I also agree with not adding any more judged events. There are plenty enough to wreak havoc every year as it is.
Dog-sleds would be interesting. If they have equestrian events in the summer, what no dog-sleds in the winter?
The language itself isn’t the issue. You can call some sports figure a dickhead; but you can’t insult other posters. For clarification, see Forum Rules: PLEASE READ, and note post #3.
“Pull My Finger”
I still think tilting should be an event. Not sure how Mideastern nations would feel about it, but fuck 'em if they can’t take a joke.
