Apologies if there is a thread on this but i was at the pub yesterday discussing what i would like to see in the Olympics. My friend mentioned that he cant believe horse racing was not an event but dressage was.
I personally would love to see parkour as two events. Not because i do it, I most definitely cant and don't do it but i enjoy watching it and think there is a real useful talent that is developed from doing it.
I would like a race event where people are judged on time to finish a set course with restrictions put on obstacles and jumps to make sure people dont just pick the best runners and jumpers to boringly leap the gaps and climb the walls. Maybe coloured ares pre-obstacle/ jump to show where you at least must touch to perform an action to clear said part of the course.
Another event where they are judged mainly for completing a course with style but within a strict time limit. small but bonus points are given to lower times so it doesnt end up like an urban gymnastics event.
What would you guys like to see?
