Bored Of The Olympics? Maybe One Of These Sports Will Pique Your Interest!

[AB Editor]

Maybe you're bored of the thousand different medals for the very similar types of swimming over slightly different lengths, or you think that dressage needs an upgrade?

If so, then maybe it's time to start petitioning for one of these old events - such as:

Gymnastics on horseback
Hot air ballooning
Swimming obstacle course
Firefighting
Cane fighting

Or maybe you have a new submission?

Olympic yarn-bombing maybe?

haha! I like your comments about swimming different lengths. Same goes for cycling.

Jay-Walker Elimination. I'd love to play that.

There are road signs in Dublin warning drivers of " cyclists weaving", perhaps that could become an Olympic sport.

Weaving a cyclist? :)

(I actually really like all the cycling events and don't particularly feel they need to be reduced. There's a great variety in them!)

Those sound more boring than the Olympics.

Britain still win a lot of medals doing vaulting ( Gymnastics on horseback ) -22 at the last count I think
