    Dodge Ball would be a great sport in the Olympic. It’s physical and require team work.

    Follow on Twitter & tweeted @ http://twitter.com/Naddez/status/8575227594.

    Disc Golf should be an Olympic Sport. It is getting to be huge! I LOVE Disc Golf! (Just maybe it shouldn’t be a winter sport)

    Tag team twin changing babies!

  14. 253

    My recent experience with a rolling pin tells me that making pies should be an olympic sport. It is most definitely a sport !!! Just look at your grandma’s biceps !!! I’m telling you, these ladies are athletes !

  15. 252

    I think the Tim Hortons Biathlon would be great. Get in your car in a snowstorm, drive to the nearest Tim Hortons, and consume a donut and small coffee as fast as possible. Then get back in the car and go to the next one and do it again until you run out of shops. Not sure if you need a course, just gotta hit em all in a city.

    Toddler chasing for men! How many kids can you keep track of at once? We will add another one for every 5 min on the playground with them.

  19. 248

    I think dressage horseback riding should be a sport.

  20. 247

    First entry – following & tweeted as janettwokay

    I would love to see Nose Picking as an Olympic sport. If I had a nickel for every time I saw someone in the car next to me going for the gold, well, I’d be a very rich woman. And that is why I think it should be an Olympic sport. Everyone is capable of getting the gold when it comes to Nose Picking. Everyone.

    Ok, I’m a nerd… how about rolling snowballs and counting?

  33. 234

    I think that ballroom dancing should become an Olympic Sport – that way, maybe Kristi Yamaguchi could win another gold (for that matter, make it Ballroom Ice Dancing sans skates!).

    I think snowman or swonwoman making and snowball fights something different and I think the children would enjoy watching this

  50. 217

    Snowball fighting in clown suits would be a bright colorful affair, as a grand finale the clowns can present a gymnastic cheer routine.

    • 217.1

      this is the second entry for my oh so humorous remark about clowns having snowball fights. I forgot to say they have to wear snowshoes. Now, that will make for some unique gymnastics.

    I think we should make truth or dare an olympic sport. How far would each contestant go for gold? What would be the Gold-winning dare? The possibilities are ENDLESS!

  56. 211
