What sports should be in the Olympics?

[QUOTE 4411868, member: 76"]So we know what everyone wants trimmed or culled, but what sport would you like to see put in to the Olympics?

For me it would sports based on skill, strength and speed.........

Sport climbing
Orienteering
Juggling[/QUOTE]

In August 2016 it was announced that climbing would become an Olympic sport in 2020.[5] Competitors will take part in three disciplines (Lead, Speed and Bouldering), to decide the overall winner

Tandem sprinting. It used to be a regular feature at the World Track Championships but was sadly ditched some years ago. It was by far the most exciting event on the track. This clip is pretty tame compared to many a contest, but still ends in tears -

Olympic Nagging & Meithering ....

First person to make their partners head explode is the winner.

I nominate her indoors for GB to take Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze ....

& if she doesn't you'll know about it.

I'm assuming that it's monkey tennis in that we are the players, right...?

it's in for 2020 except the format is 3 events, bouldering, lead climbing and speed climbing with participants doing all three. There's mixed reactions in the climbing world to this rather odd format bit like Mo Farah doing the 100 metres the 1500metres and the Marathon for his gold medal.

@User14044 has a little black number I've been told. Gold goes well with black (I've also been told).
