Don't like subjective sports that rely on a judge to tell me who was the winner

So it's a no from me

Just realised to keep up the spelling tradition of this forum, the title should have been.

Brake Dancing Olympics

Brake Dancing Olympics

Which would in turn trigger an argument about whether rim or disc brakes are better, and then it would turn really nasty with the mention of 531 framed bikes being "real"...

DARTS - Darts needs to be in the Olympics.

I am with you with this, its a problem I have with boxing, a knockout or retirement is obviously a win, but a points decision isn't always the right outcome.

I'm not sure that is true. There are 4 squash clubs in my area, my son plays for one of them and there are inter club leagues every week, around London. Plus squash is an international sport, world championships, national leagues.
What next, Olympic Ballroom dancing?

It was an exaggeration but squash was a sport that people played in the 80s and 90s. Participation is declining.
My local sports club has loads of empty squash courts. They are used for spin classes and aerobics but not squash.

Competitive DooWop? Cool

Maybe I'm dreaming but I thought that had been tried, or maybe it was one of those exhibition events they do

Heres my nomination for an Olympic event.

Kick Volleyball https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sepak_takraw

Lacrosse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_lacrosse

Lacrosse is a fantastic game to watch, fast skilful etc. I guess it isn't played widely enough for the Olympics.
