@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.
@alice That reminds me of a vague childhood memory I have. I was watching the TV news and the wacky-human-interest segment at the end was about a tournament of one-legged bicycle diving, a sport in which participants (who only have one leg) have to pedal a bicycle off a high-diving board and dive with it into a pool. I was fairly sure that this was something that was aired on TV and someone had put together, though have found no trace of it, and started to suspect it may have been a dream.

@alice I think the whole competitive eating world mixed with professional sports has been ignored by the Olympic committee for too long. How about a version of the triathlon but you have to stop and eat a 10 course Indian meal in the middle of the event.

@alice
I would make Ninja Warrior an official event. Most athletes would be filtered by the qualifying round. Complete stage one within the set time? Bronze. Second stage? Silver. Complete the final stage? Gold.Every time an athlete earns a gold, they make the course more difficult.
I quite like obstacle course competitions on the whole, but to see one at an Olympic level? It would be unbelievable.

@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.

@alice Breakdance Curling.
Perform while gliding slowly down a brushed ice path to a goal.
Actually have a whole slew of ideas for things that could be combined with curling. Target shooting, Dressage, Shotput...

@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

Laser tag on ice skates.
3d terrain, ramps, bridges, bunker walls, etc. 1 on 1 so you can have different laser colors, as a person skilled with understanding index of refraction could possibly shoot someone around the corner by shutting through the corner and letting IOR bend the light to the target.
Everyone has laser protective goggles, and if you shoot at your opponents eye, you lose a point. If you shoot at the judges eyes, they're allowed to send ice alligators after you.

@alice @chargen Reverse puppy sledding. Six humans pull a sled on which there are six puppies. First sled across the finish line wins. Of course the humans have to exhibit extreme speed and agility to catch the puppies that jump off and bring them back to the sled. Choreography is central to this event.
