Tug o' War needs to be in 2012 Olympics

If you're going to have Speed Walking, you must include Tug o' War. Imagine the different countries competing in a good ol' fashion Tug o' War match.

While they're at it, add Poker, too.

Tug of War makes more sense than Poker. What about sack race?

That would be interesting to see, japan could easily win if they used all their sumo's, but then again we could always retaliate with the WWF,WCW and other wrestlers on our side.

Poker?

While we are at it can we add in Surfing and Skateboarding too.

They actually had it in there from 1900-1920.

Tug of war at the Summer Olympics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I forget why they removed it.

I just wanted to throw Poker out in the mix. Wouldn't you want to see that? - maybe it's just me.

I think skateboarding or rollerblading is one of the sports they might add. I heard the IOC president guy mention it during an interview.

Its ridiculous we have some of these sports yet they are getting rid of softball and baseball in 2012. That's stupid.

Exactly.

Some of the sports in the Olympics and so called "athletes" playing them don't deserve medals because they're aren't ATHLETES!

Tug O' War is not medal worthy imo. Same with Table Tennis and some other Olympic sports.

personally I'd like to see a pushup contest in the olympics


that would be insane and so fun to watch, people would be doing a few hundred pushups

pull-ups and bar dips would also be fun to watch.

Let's not forget synchronized diving! Anything goes. I'm still waiting for them to read and pass my video game request. USA & North Korea, in Halo 3, for an Olympic gold medal.. come on, seriously!
