Quake deathmatch.
‘Looks like 420-DaChRoNiC-420 is camping the red armor, John. A sound strategy for this map, but it’s not going to make him very popular with the other players! Now he’s drawing a bead on K3WLD00D, who hasn’t noticed he’s up there, and-- oh MAN! [DeViL-666] nails him with a rocket to the back of the head!’
‘Look at those gibs fly, Bob. That’ll teach you to watch your back when you camp.’
The difference between a game and a sport is smoking. If you can do it whilst smoking, it’s a game.
Karate should seriously be in the Olympics. I’m really surprised that it hasn’t made it in yet. Kata competition, full-contact point sparring, kickboxing… Whatever. Karate (and Kung-Fu) is extremely old, has an international sanctioning body, the referee system for point contact is extremely well developed, and it embodies the Olympic spirit much more so than something like Ballroom Dancing.
Right idea, wrong tossee.
I vote for Catapult Troll Tossing -Has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?
Well if not, there is always:
Remote Station Changing
Synchronized Visor Flipping
wushu (kung fu) should be, and will be in the olympics soon.
I would love to see “Baseketball” being played!!!
Gymnastics: Kama Sutra with a balance beam.
Gymnastics: Cheerleading without the skirts.
Don’t you people pay any attention???
Oh, yes, yes indeed.
<cheerleading without skirts…well, I’m done for the day>
Some folk have complained about the judging factor in boxing. Same problem with most other traditional martial art as currently competed. Solution, eliminate time limits, victory by KO or submission only. Bring on the octagon!
I agree! If that lame ice-shuffleboard curling can be in, why not disc golf? You’ve got to have skill, timing, etc.
Speaking as a cheerleader fetishist, the skirts are the MOST IMPORTANT PART.
To make it tougher and therefore more Olympics-worthy, they can perform their routines in spike heels.
Marbles. Nothing like a good game of marbles.
This has, of course, been covered by America’s Finest News Source.
I especially like the T&T mocking!
Howzabout bowling?!
I’ve often wondered how combining two sports would go over…you know, those pole vaulters get some good altitude, why not have them do a pike with a 2.5 twist dive coming down? Pole Diving. Hmm. Volleyball on ice skates. The possibilities are endless.
combos…
-The clean-and-jerk + shot put
-The hundred meter hurdles ending in a high jump
-The mens high-bar + diving
-Rowing + cycling (paddle boats!)
oh, the possibilities really are endless!
I’ll second that, and toss in Aikido. I practice it myself, and damn, I never realized before I started just how damn precise martial arts are. I have a new-found respect for martial arts practitioners, and I just wish more people practiced kendo (it’s the Japanese from with wicker face guards and body armor and wooden swords) so that it could be an Olympic sport. In my opinion, pretty much any of the major martial arts could qualify.
And on a serious note:
Handball. Not the team kind, but four-wall. Singles and doubles. Hell, if rhythmic gymnastics can have a following, I don’t see why not.
For the folk concerned with subjective judging, I doubt they will go for kendo where a strike is judged depending on the intent with which it is thrown. (Tho it does look mighty cool and fun to practice.)
Now if you want to talk full contact stickfighting ala the Dog Brothers, that will work. No gear other than hockey gloves, a fencing mask, and one or two rattan sticks. Usually not too difficult to tell the winner from the loser!
