New Olympic Sports
My wife and I invented a few winter Olympic sports last night, we’re hoping they make it into the mix for 2014.
-
Ice HORSE
Played similarly to HORSE in basketball, all of the figure skaters are on the ice at the same time. The first does a trick and then each has to replicate the trick until they spell HORSE. I picture “triple lutz, off the boards, headspin to splits” types of tricks being invented. -
Short Track Ice Dancing
Since figure skating is so dang boring, why not throw in the excitement of short track racing? Each lap you’ve got to throw a spin or whatever else it is they do. Definitely no helmets on this one. -
Ski Jump Biathlon
Targets are suspended above the hill and the jumper must shoot the target while in the air. The score is a combination of accuracy and distance.
So, what have you got to add?
