Ideas to Improve Sport

That'll be hived off into a separate sport. It'll probably be more popular than the football from whence it came.

A panel of judges should come onto the pitch and award points for the correct application of manoeuvres in the foul such as Double Lutz and Triple Salko. Points for artistic impression should also be awarded. At the end of the year points could be added up towards winning an Oscar type of award.

Under new international Olympic rules, Tae Kwon Do and ballroom dancing to be combined. Amcoin toss decides which fighters wears tails, and which gets the sequined ball gown.

It's like basketball you don't see many short people playing it.

They do have short players now, who can dodge and weave between the tall guys.

A pleasant effect of this scheme is that it gives reduced opportunities for pundits to waste airtime talking patent bollards.

... Are there many patents for bollards and... Why would they be talking about them anyway?

I think they should re-introduce the original running event where you had to wear armour and carry your hoplon and spear

Figure skating - to become a strictly winter event. Competitors must wear hobnail boots, a donkey jacket, and be wearing a rucksack containing packed lunch and a thermos. Competitors to run at an icy pavement and "skate" along it without external means of propulsion. Points lost got grabbing railings to stay upright, points awarded for best excuse given following a fall.

100 metre sprint - all athletes to drink 5 cans of Special Brew in the 5 minutes prior to the event.

nana nana noo noo !

Didn't the original marathon runner run from Athens to Sparta to plead for help, run to Marathon for the battle, fight in said battle, then run back to Athens with news of the great victory. It's much easier these days just doing the one leg of it. That said didn't the guy drop down dead of exhaustion at the end?
