Worst Sport/Event in the 2024 Olympics - submissions

Bring in Bulldog/Bullrush - 2x teams of 7 - each time a person is tackled, another tackler for the team completing the tackle joins the field (cuz obviously, a teammate isn't going to tackle their own country).

Most successful crossings in 2 x 7 minute halves wins...wait a second.

Something that requires fitness, stamina, agility and determination: shagging.

Categories make themselves: mixed doubles, men's doubles, women's doubles, men solo and women solo.
Do they? I believe there's plenty of video evidence to suggest there are rather more categories than you've mentioned there, and I'm not ruling out an equestrian event either!!

Well it certainly gives a new meaning to "Who'd you fancy in the Derby?"

You're fooling no one.

This would be a sprint event surely.

I thought it was already an unofficial event at every games?

Certainly a topic the tabloids love getting all over.

We currently have a 1500m Women's swimming heat on featuring just 3 swimmers, none of whom are likely to make the Final. Tough gig for the commentators this one....

Pentathlon should be changed to something else too, randomise the events at the start of the games. Lets see these fit ****ers throw a discus, perform a rhythmic gymnastics routine, swim 400m, play some badminton and climb a ****ing wall.
Physical 100 but with more sports in the olympics would be cool

But they all die right? Please say they do.....

Teams of 5, I'd throw in a drag artist and a Strictly Professional (to add that little extra in training sessions) too.
On further reflection, add a manosphere influencer, and ensure they have to work in a team event with the drag queen and ex-Love Island (woman) celebrity.

We played this at high school in year nine on the lawn, and three blokes ended up in hospital. Two broken collar bones form the pile on after they were tackled, and the third cut his leg open when he was tackled into a metal bin which was cemented into the ground. Great days.

We had code words for changing from tag to tackle, dependent on when the on duty teacher was nearby. great days.

With entry made via a diving board.

What would the judging criteria be?

Bring in 20/20 football, or ''multi ball''

Something like 30 minute halves, with a 5 minute half time break.
First 10 minutes are normal procedures of a football game, but thereafter every 10 minutes another ball comes into play.
By the end of the game there are 5 balls in play with action happening all over the park.
Cameramen would have their work cut out. Would be a ton of fun to watch.
