I second speed walking.

I hope the game of Bridge will never become a Olympic sport.

Frothy ..... you left out chess, unless you want to see chess boxing.

And some of those sport are indigenous to only certain countries like sumo.. I only think Japan, USA and Polynesia wrestle sumo. I don't even remember hearing of a Chinese Sumo wrestler.

sorry. that was actually a freudian slip. i was thinking gymnastics, but meant olympics. my mistake.

Tug of War? Thats funny. Whats next the Potato sack race?

They used to do the Tug of War from 1900 to 1920. Do you think it would be a great way to fight wars instead of soldiers. We let the politians tug it out and the losers lose their heads. That way they'd be the only ones to die. Beats term limits.

yeah, but then what do you do when you get a bunch of guerilla tug-of-warists tugging in ways you weren't prepared to defend against. all bad.

If you use that logic then swimming would be dumped too. Phelps was already making $5 million a year "before" these Olympics.

Not that I don't agree with you. The worst mistake they ever made was letting professional players in. Get back to the days when it was college players in basketball and hockey.

what about walking backwards near a cliff face, that would be great to watch:D

need to have lightsaber dueling....oops, i need to stop drinking....
