What should go


How about they get rid of all events that require opinion rather than a measurable result. Thumb Up

The olympics should be about who is the best rather than "who the judges think is the best". I learned something new, I guess

The horse racing a la Ben Hur'd be great to bring back, Set your George Michael free Charlton Heston'd be the guy standing at the finnish line with the balck & white squared flag. Thumb Up

I think it requires a certain degree of skill. Would be quite interesting to see how this skill would vary across countries, and in what aspects.

And no I don't particularly like horse riding, I've never tried it.

Ok just because people in the past had relatively bad hygiene they didn't think of these, but I think these would be a great asset to the Summer Olympics

Olympic Showering.

A event where the contestants run a mile in 7 minutes and than shower as fast as possible. At the end mothers from around the world will come and judge each contestant on how clean they are.


Tandem Olympic Showering
Yea you guesses it... this event will most likely not be televised in the US and Canada.


p.s.
If any Olympic committee members read this and think it's a good idea, im so down for both events Very Happy
