@chargen okay, here goes...
You get to design a new competitive Olympic event, and all the official folx and media have to treat it like any other time-honored tradition. What is it?
I re-invent the high-dive, only it's sideways, out of a giant slingshot, into a huge vertical wall of Jello. Competitors get graded on style, technique, depth, and flavor choice.

@dragonfrog @alice @chargen ooh I like that! A bi(ke)atholon if you will.

@dragonfrog @alice @chargen I’m running a lending service for kids bikes. To support circular economy and reuse.
-
@dragonfrog @alice @chargen What I especially love about this idea is that at the end of the race you have a bunch of repaired bicycles that can be donated to people who could use them

I would lovr to see husky drawn sled racing at the winter olympics. The only concern I have is for the potential of mistreatment of the animals. -

News-reading endurance
-
@autolycos @alice @chargen oh I like that! So many potential combinations of endurance race + target sport!
- Bowling without a ball return machine - you have to run to the back of the alley and retrieve your ball each time
- Rock climbing with stops as you ascend where you have to fold paper airplanes and fly them until you get one through a window
- Golf but they don't count strokes, you're just on the clock, and you have to run the course with your bag of clubs
@autolycos @alice @chargen I love the golf idea!
That would finally turn golf into a proper sport.

@alice @chargen grocery store time trials.
All athletes get a list of 10 items they have to take from the shelves and the first to place them all, intact, on the checkout counter wins.
Start is at the automatic door, and they are not allowed a shopping cart.
And it's a real functioning store, with pedestrian traffic and such.
Test of speed, orienteering, dexterity, strength, balance, itemsrange from apple to large bag of catfood.3 attempts for each, list changes, shortest combined time wins.

@slothrop @dragonfrog @autolycos @alice @chargen C'mon, it has its place, as a friend of my brother once remarked it is the only sport you can do while drinking (and no, I don't count darts).

@theorangetheme @alice Since I was at work that day the Olympic games were actually on in my vicinity for once, and that moment with the dog was the only time I actually paid any attention to it! I'd be down for some cat herding too.

@dragonfrog @alice @chargen What I especially love about this idea is that at the end of the race you have a bunch of repaired bicycles that can be donated to people who could use them
@jamey @dragonfrog @alice @chargen You cannot do that! Those are high performance bike shaped objects,
(and the Olympic games would then actually give back to the communities, we cannot have that, can we?)

Pop up targets mixing bad guys with Innocents with points off for mistaking the targets.
