The Glasgow Olympics

Postby JayKay » Mon Aug 16, 2004 3:46 pm

OK, so it's never going to happen, but if Glasgow ever did get to host the Olympics...we would get to introduce a new sport.

My suggestion:

Canal Angling (Team or individual)

A multi-million pound enormostadium hosts a carefully re-constructed approximation of a section of the Forth and Clyde. Artificial rain can be supplied if no real rain available on the day. Contestants take to the Nolly bank and sit there "for as long as it takes", sustained only by nips of buckfast and plain bread sanwiches.

Points are scored for hooking a pike (10 points) Bicycle (5 points) Condom (2 points)

Team event is similar but involves the intervention of a local young team. Points scored for each member of opposing team taken to casualty (10 points) Torn item of sports clothing (5 points) Dunking in the canal (2 points)

Any other suggestions? :wink:

On the contrary.......it is going to happen, and when it does the introduction of a revived art will be resurrected as a 'new' sport...............Tall Tale Telling.

The Olympics in Glasgow?

Well, might not be Glasgow exactly, but at least it might bring a smile to someone:

Lot of foreplay, lots of material here for Question of Sport's "What happened next?"
Definitely a gold medal contender.
