olympic dreams
I'm thinking tonight that if I were on the IOC I'd make a few changes to the Olympic events. For example:
Out with doubles ping pong, in with cross-country unicycling.
No more women's 20K walk. How about a 5000m track skipping event instead?
The men's 50K walk should be replaced with a 5m catwalk.
I say no to endless weight divisions in weight lifting but YES to height divisions for basketball.
Fencing? Why not pillowfighting?
Wrestling could be replaced by a simple International gathering of men who aren't afraid to hug. Easy.

Following the various swimming events I was thinking maybe that concept could be translated to the trace.
So you could have
100m running
100m hopping
100m skipiing
100m backwards walking
200m ---ditto----
400m ---ditto----
and so forth. Then maybe some track athletes could get 8 golds in one go!
