Olympics- What sports should be in them?

[garyw]

Apparently, every Olympic host country is allowed to pick a new sport to include for the first time. With London 2012 in mind, has anybody got any ideas about sports they participate in that would make good Olympic events? Could climbing or adventure racing be made to work? If so, which specific disciplines? Also, what sports do you think they should get rid of?

International teams of 4 or 6 on a 24 hour race would be an excellent idea.

Think this would be perfect to give a balance between a good long(ish) challenge and not boring the life out of the viewers. Also a lot more head to head racing than expedition.

Think, however it may not be best for UK to introduce it. I think it should be something more synonymous with these fair isles. Maybe cheese rolling, bog snorkling? Or maybe even just boring old cricket.
