Foo - Which sports should be added to the Olympic Games???

Darts would be a great addition. Darts has a rich history involving some of the most elite athletes you'll ever see. These athletes have the physical & mental attributes necessary to deliver the dart to an extremely small target, all the while battling the effects from the copious amounts of beer they consume during the match. Clearly Darts deserves consideration from the IOC as an addition to either winter or summer Olympics.

Football.

Football.

When did that became a sport?

so far this thread is 0 for 2.

rollerball.

pocketball.

Football is the most popular sport on the planet.

Can't we get past the America hate and recognize that on the Olympic stage?

Ice bikes racin' on the long speed skating oval.

EDIT *** Football, ain't gonna happen.

Downhill mountain biking

Is that true? I would believe football-soccer, but based on your location I'm guessing you mean football-football. No way north american football gets in. Might as well just add Nascar at the same time if we're adding football.

I think the rest of the planet would disagree. :lol: Besides I don't think even one of the players in NFL could pass even a cursory drug test.

Telemark slalom

Zamboni cross

Snow shoveling.

Olympic Snow Ball Fight
I like riding down toboggan hills so I'd be so down to try and ride a boarder cross course. Then we could apply it to the downhill, and the GS , maybe even the mogals and freestyle courses.

Winter: Flatland sledding. For those of us who grew up on the plains. Equipment: tennis shoes, jersey gloves, jeans, sweatshirt, radio flyer sled. Hold the sled in front of you, sprint, launch and flop onto the sled with your belly, slide a few yards. Repeat until the sled breaks or your toes are frozen.

Full-contact curling.

Full-contact curling.

Yeah, I like that one. Our Canadian women could have used that tonight.

Ultra distance triathlon

Football.

GAWD NO! One Super(ficial) Bowl is more than enough.

Javelin catching.

Thats been done...

Death Throw

yeah, yeah, it's an old game, was for the original xbox.

Some countries might wonder why we ski with dinner. :innocent:
Thanks for the reminder. Skijor races are next weekend in Duluth, MN.

And in the summer olympics, bikejoring

There's already a facebook petition.

Canadian kayak racing over Niagara Falls.

Hmmm, that does sound interesting. I'm quite certain that Canadians haven't tried it yet. You'll have to show us how it's done with a demonstration. I'm sure you'll be ready to go over the falls come Sunday night :D

Here we go , from my lovely wife. Polar Bear runs and Seal Clubbing. Both Canadian Gold standard events. :lol:

Ice fishing
Sled (snowmobile) motocross
Motorcycle ice racing

Add a texting component to short track speed skating, making for bitextual athletes in the biskathalon, they need something to do with the outside arm anyhow.

to make this bike related.

how about cyclocross? they already bike in the snow in Flanders

An alternative to Ice Dancing. ;)

Full-contact curling.

how would that work? throw the stone and then slug your opponents?

I like the concept, however I think sweeper checking would be more effective.

Impressive. Not sure I understand the beginning floor work, but the trick biking was pretty good.

i used to be a quite a concker player in my youth. It's definitely worthy of the olympics.

they bike in the snow in lots of places (http://www.myshavedlegs.com/2010/01/16073-words-about-amsterdam.html).

didn't mean to leave out the place you currently live (Nederland, no?) along with Wallonia, etc., but general sentiment regarding cyclocross being added stands.

btw, what's the deal with having mountain bikes in there as well?

Very nice bike control ... :thumb:

For the Summer Olympics:

Cricket (if they would change the rules a little to shorten the matches). Played by all the former colonies of the British Empire and a few other nations, too. Would love to see an "Ashes" gold medal match! (if you have to ask what that is, you ain't a cricket fan)

Rugby. Better than (american) football or soccer IMO.

Winter Olympics:

Some type of triathalon would be interesting - maybe xc skiing, snowshoe run, and cyclocross?

Phlat!

According to Wikipedia, Rugby Sevens will be in the 2016 games. (Unless that's a typo and they meant they were in the 1916 games. :)

Good game Cannuckers:thumb:

Thank you America, for providing worthy opponents. The sparring was fun spry.
