Olympic Game Should Have Beens

[Wacky Funster]

After pondering "curling" as an olympic sport, I figured I would let my imagination go with it and offer us a thread to stretch our brains into listing "sports", like curling, that should have been in the Olympics also...like:

Hammering...who can hammer a nail in a log the fastest.

Or, speaking of logs, how about a roll logging sport in a lake....who can stay up on a rolling log the longest....

I'm sure there are more...got any?

[Zshot]

I will go with the obvious (to me)...

Racquetball should be an olympic sport! (Some groups are trying to make it happen).

How about bar stool racing??

It seems to be popular down in Drummond, Wisconsin

Meebe the olympic committee would consider this for future competition. :blink:

Here are some of the rules and regs:

Some of the Race Sled Definitions: Gravity power only; One bar stool, mounted on two skis; Minimum height of stool with skis attached 27 inches; Maximum outside width of skis at their widest point 18 inches; Maximum width of individual ski is 5 inches and minimum width 2 inches

Some race rules: Push off from start line; Push zone is 23 feet long; Must ride stool sitting down in drinking position, butt on top of stool and feet not touching ground; Helmets are REQUIRED.

Would olympic bar stool slalom and bar stool jumping come next??

And then there is *water skipping* snowmobiles.

Just one problem with this sport ----

Should it be in the Winter, or Summer Olympics?

[Wacky Funster]

LOL...could be either!!!!!

I was thinking about skipping stones on a creek or lake. Who can get the most skips...Now, that takes skill!!!!!!

Or jump rope!!! Now that's no easy task...and then they could have competitors doing tricks in the jump ropes, flips and such...dontcha think? :P
