Ideas to Improve Sport

As long as it's big and heavy enough to do some damage, sure.

ooh, you've got me thinking:

Biathlon: but with cycling and caber-tossing

Archery - replace the arrows with French loaves.

Rugby Union - the sin bin to be an actual wheelie bin. If the player does not fit then they have to go in a skip in the car park.

Beach volleyball , played on a real beach with the tide coming in.

bungee rock-climbing.

Rock climbing as in traditional (trad) practised in UK isn’t a sport. But I suppose bungy competition climbing could be part of Olympics.

bungee rock-climbing.

Is the bungee to be attached to the top or the bottom of the climb?

Basketball - played with a bowling ball.

@Drago posted "Marathon - competitors should eat nothing by Marathon bars for a week prior to each event."

It would be an interesting new sport to see who could invent a time machine first to go back and get some since they've been called Snickers for years. (Though I much prefer the name "Marathon"). Although sometime in the last couple of years there were some limited edition Marathons available. Like just about everything, I thought they used to be bigger.

In our house snickers is pronounced marathon. Starbursts is pronounced opal fruits. I will go to my grave before I accept the word snickers

Cycling:-a ten minute stop to eat ice-cream while admiring a lake view, like proper cyclists do.

Beach volleyball , played on a real beach with the tide coming in.

I think that beach volleyball is hard to improve on, at least from a spectator's point of view.

 

[Drago]

Topless beach volleyball - all male teams from Cheshire, minimum age 60, minimum BMI 40.

 

[DRM]

Road Cycling-Grand Tours, all riders to be given a Just Eat bag on the Time Trial Stage and have to deliver 5 Takeaway meals as follows
Giro D'Italia-Pizzas
Tour De France-Baked Goods, any combination of baguettes, Croissants or Pain Au Chocolat
Vuelta A Espana-Tapas
time penalties for food delivered cold

Go back to the days when the cyclists ran into the nearest cafe during the stage to neck brandy and champagne. Breath tests at the finish line and bonus seconds awarded for the highest readings.

 

[VinSumRox]

American football have a team that cant substitute players unless injured and only have i break in the game

 

[Drago]

TdF - mountain stages on full squidge MTBs.
