After watching the Olympics, and in the never ending quest to find new events, here are some of the suggestions from family members, followed by perhaps an obvious comment. (Go ahead and blame the heat wave).

• The 10 meter dash - The key to this is literally all in the start
• The irregularly spaced 200 meter hurdles - good luck
• The uneven rings and the even parallel bars - Now that will mess with the mindset
• The synchronized unique diving - between a sumo diver and a pixie gymnast. Points are scored on how far the little pixie is tossed by the indoor tidal wave.
• Sumo short track bicycling. - MAy want to reinforce the tires.
• The shot put catch - Anyone can heave it, who can catch it?
• The church steeple chase - Even run only on Sundays, to see who can get to church the fastest.
• Javelin pin-the-tail-on the donkey. Becasue of animal rights activists, the target will be like at kids birthday parties - drawn, instead of a real donkey. Don't forget to attach your tail to the javelin before throwing it.
• Trampoline really high hurdles. The trick isn't in getting over the hurdles so much as it is advancing down the track.
• And in an effort to promote positive events, how about goodminton?
