Olympic sports we'd like to see

As noted in the highly scientific survey on this blog, the Dullard community is reacting with a collective shrug to the Summer Olympics. What could the Games do to get our attention? How about adding these events:

Marco Polo: What better pool event for the Olympics than the internationally flavored Marco Polo? It would be more action-packed than synchronized diving, and we'd love to hear "fish out of water!" in Chinese, French or English (the official languages of the current Olympics).

Miniature golf: Traditional golf is a pretty dull thing to watch. Miniature golf, on the other hand, is fun for athlete and spectator alike. As an Olympic competition, the course would be designed and decorated to reflect the culture and history of the host country.

Dead man's float: Most swimming events are too difficult to be accessible to the average person. (Can you do the butterfly?) Anyone can do the dead man's float — but who can do it the longest? To up the ante, the pool for this competition will be infested with sharks with freakin' laser beams.

What other games can be added to spice up the Olympics?
