Olympic sports I would like to see

 

If Chicago ends up hosting the 2016 Summer Olympics these are the following

Sports I would like to have added (to boost the US Medal Count)

 
  1. Billiards, both single & doubles
  2. Darts, hey the Irish have to win at least one Gold Medal
  3. Arm & Thumb wrestling.  Drug test would be manitory.
  4. Competitive Fishing-  No poles, just your hands.
  5. Team Leap Frogging.  Six to a team, 100 Meter & 400 Meter
  6. Rock Skipping.   Both Fresh & Salt water.
  7. Log Rolling, Hey Lumberjacks are athletes too.
  8. Sudoku, talk about head games…
  9. Competitive eating.   Time to bring it out of the closet.
  10. Ultimate Frisbee.  Hey, if it’s good enough for Tosafest it’s good enough for the Olympics.
  11. Roller Derby- Mens, Women & Mixed.  You know you would watch!
 

Please comment with any other sports you feel should be considered.

Chicago is in the running for the 2016 games, not 2012. The 2012 games will be in London.

Peter…

Bring back boxing, standing high jump and standing long jump, tug of war, rugby, rope climbing, and the 10,000 meter walk.
