I'd like to see figure skating individual elements, i.e. separate jumps, spins and footwork medals, like gymnasts have.

I was thinking the flamethrower would be used during the skiing phase to melt the snow or your opponent

If you start with 6 live white cats, finishing with 5 and a snow facsimile would be a disqualification!

If there is a guy on top, he would have a way of “locking in”, so to speak

Providing the bottom slender is willing, of course


That’s just naughty, Heretic.

I know. I’m a horrible person with no redeeming qualities

Yes. You suck

I am so ashamed

If "weightlifting" is a sport, this one seems a natural.

As it is, we already have people out sweeping ice and shouting during the curling.

After the curling is done, just dump a couple of feet of snow on the lane, position a yard tractor at one end, give them shovels, and the first one to get the tractor to the end of the lane wins.

45. Real sport: Skijoring
Tue Feb 13, 2018, 08:28 PM
Feb 2018

Skijoring is Swedish for “hey y’all, watch this.”

You need:
One water ski tow rope
One pair cross country skis
One race horse with rider
One complete fucking idiot

Attach one end of rope to the horse, and the other end to the CFI. Have horse take off at a dead run. Rules are similar to The Hunger Games: the last person left alive is the winner.
