They could have a mincing race, something like a 50km event for silly walks.... oh hang on...

The curious olympic version of whispering as loud as you can...

Town Planning. Now that would make a good Olympic Sport. A totally pointless activity practised by those lacking the gift of adult conversation.

Oh..........wait a minute.

Dressage is very very clever, and yes it must take a lot of training, but is it a sport?

Cycling what is that all about, pedaling when you could be going by car. Do not get me started on that going round and round stuff must feel like groundhog day. As for BMX well that goes in the box with riding over walls and telephone boxes. Road racing, what the hell no point at all there may as well just do the last 100 yards. Time trial well that is for people who want to get away on their own and do not like cycling with friends.

Personally I am glad everyone is not the same, I have enjoyed many different sports over the years and will continue to broaden my horizon by trying others.

According to wikipedia the triple jump was around at the ancient olympics so it's probably got more right to be there than many other sports.

Yeh I know, and they did it in the nuddy, the sand would get everywhere...
