Fun Non-Athletic Competitions That Should Be In the Olympics

[smahala1991]

Every four years it comes around and takes over your TV. No, I'm not talking about the election, I'm talking about The Olympics. The Olympics showcase competition with athletes from various nations trying to take home the gold. But, what if the Olymics decided to try out some non-athletic events? Here are four Olympic events that should be considered.

Soda Drinking Contest

Which country has the best soda drinkers? We could find out with an Olympic soda drinking competition. Competing athletes would see who can drink the biggest amount of soda in the shortest amount of time. It would be nice to see who brings home the gold in that one.

Chess

This international battle of wits has spawned some amazing stars over the years such as Gary Kasparov and Bobby Fischer. The Olympics could feature chess to determine the next great chess players in our world.

Mini Golf

Who doesn't love mini golfing? it's fun and wacky, Plus its always exciting to get a hole in one or to clear that windmill. The Olympics need to include this for fun. Please make this happen!!!

Laser tag

This would be freaking awesome!!!!! Imagine two opposing nations settling it all out in a laser tag arena! The laser guns zapping, the adrenaline pumping through the veins of the competitors. The sound of the pew pew pew of the lasers.

Other events:

Bowling

Wing eating contest

Slamball

Air Hockey

Auto racing

Go Kart races

Video gaming

Breakdancing

Flash mobbing

Baking competition

and even a Rodeo.

So the Olympics can have something for everyone!

Plus it might be awesome if the Olympic theme was preformed by a badass rock band with sweet guitar skills.

Virtual Reality Sports for gaming in the future since not everyone has the genetics that of pro-athletes to begin with.

Chess, I'm up for that.

I would love to see something like this in the Olympics:

Trick Shots or Trick Shooting with Rifles, way more stylish than just how many targets you can hit but being creative in the competition.

[Mustachekitteh]

I would change the soda drinking contest to a beer drinking contest.

I wouldn't put chess with the normal olympics but have us create an Olympics meant to see who's the best mentally.

Laser tag would be hilarious as hell. XD

[EnglishArtsteacher]

A beer drinking contest would be too dangerous. People would die of alcohol poisoning, and their families would try to sue the Olympics committee.

[Mustachekitteh]

@EnglishArtsteacher Soda isn't good for you either, now that I think about it any kind of drinking contest seems bad. Since even with a water drinking contest that could be dangerous.

[EnglishArtsteacher]

@Mustachekitteh You can overdose on anything (Obviously), but it's easier to overdose on alcohol than it is to overdose on caffeine (soda), water, etc.

[Smmyskittles]

What if they have a drinking contest with a limited number of beers and whoever drinks them the fastest wins?

The contestants would need to show, beforehand, that they could handle that many drinks. Then, sign a waiver in case of injury/death.

- - I agree for the beer drinking contest!

[Mustachekitteh]

@Smmyskittles That's what I was thinking with a drinking contest. Use something with a low alcohol % and it's just to see how fast someone can drink it.

[Smmyskittles]

;) I'll see you on the field.

[WhiteSteve]

Is that Soda Popinski from Mike Tyson's Punch-Out?😂

[smahala1991]

Yes it is

[Library]

I would like to watch laser tag in the olympics because that would be fun to watch. I can only imagine that the competitors, for the soda drinking contest, will be very obese by the time they are in the olympics. I would be afraid to watch one of them have a heart attack.

[vishna]

Haha, yea, seeing break dancing, bowling, chess, those would be fun. Tennis is already an event (but I always miss it-did you hear about Serena and Venus though-they didn't get gold)

[smahala1991]

I changed it to air hockey

[vishna]

air hockey would be awesome too!!! It's so much fun

[Eridan]

A LARP battle! The Olympics need more people in silly costumes.

[EnglishArtsteacher]

About the video gaming part, that actually might happen. The 2020 Summer Olympics take place in Tokyo, Japan (The video game capital of the world).

[smahala1991]

What would you think about the updated Olympics theme

[JenSCDC]

I guess there's too much athleticism in beer pong for it to qualify.

[smahala1991]

not really

[lanternhill]

Rodeo should totally be in the Olympics. That stuff takes *skill*.

[smahala1991]

I just wanna see the olympic rodeo clowns lol

[Soteris]

You know how we have the Summer Olympics and Winter Olympics? We should have a 3rd Olympics with things that are competitive but focuses on fun like Laser tag or Mini golf.

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

Tennis is
A- in the olympics
B- pretty fucking athletic. Have you seen nadal?

I can only agree on bowling, chess and laser tag... And slamball. That and bowling were on my mytake. I would agree with put put, but we have golf do it kinda defeats the purpose 😒

[smahala1991]

Tennis is there?

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

It's been an Olympic sport since 1924 😑

[smahala1991]

ohhok then

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

Lol! Like 1 of the biggest things was Murray winning the Olympic gold in London, which no Brit had done (win tennis Olympic gold) since 1908... And the repeated this year

[anonanonanonanon]

I am still waiting for they include;
Martial Arts Figure Skating
Martial Arts Calligraphy
Martial Arts Cheerleading
Martial Arts Dining
Martial Arts Rhythmic Gymnastics
Martial Arts Rhythmic Shogi
Martial Arts Restaurant Takeout
Martial Arts Tea Ceremony
Martial Arts Figure Skating
Anything Goes Martial Arts
Good Old Days Martial Arts
Hidden Weapons Style
La Belle France School of Martial Arts
xD

[JudgmentDay]

LMAO!!! I LIKE THIS ONE!

Combine Martial Arts with Rifle or Firearms, and you'll have "Gun Kata" lol

[anonanonanonanon]

@JudgmentDay I got them from the series Ranma 1/2 which I saw in my childhood. Except for the old graphics it was one of the best series

[ObscuredBeyond]

Screw laser tag. Paintball. Now THAT would be a sight to see!

[TacosRAwesome]

Won't put them in the real Olympics but the idea of fun / silly Olympics is not a bad idea.

[sedrftvgyhujik]

Laser tag yes!
3D gaming yes!
the others though i'm not so sure.

[falafelany1]

As a hypothetical thing, I would love bowling, air hockey, and mini golf.

[YourFutureEx]

You're an editor so, remove tennis ASAP.
Chess? Hell yeah!

[Dred1614returns]

Non-athletic games have no place in the olympics. World competition in these events would be cool, though.

[Ghassan]

No. No No. The Olympics are a serious thing and most of your stuff are just fun.

[smahala1991]

thats the point make it somewhat fun to watch

[Ghassan]

It's fun how hard and competitive it is. Fun TV shows and variety shows are everywhere, the Olympics are different thing, and that's what making it special.

[PessimisticLoon]

Umm... Tennis is in the Olympics.

[9spaceking]

that's kind of cool. I think those make sense.

[Nik1hil]

Chess and Lazer tag is good idea
