New Olympic Sports


posted 5 months ago

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?
