I mainly agree. But gymnastics and diving should stay.
Boxing is a true sport. Maybe fight till one goes down? ;)
Bare knuckle. In a seedy dockside warehouse. Jeering, cut-throat onlookers exchanging cash noisily. :thumbup:
All aboard the Peckham Pigeon! All aboard!

Synchronised boxing could be good
Mixed boxing could be a laugh - and would get ride of all the issues
I still think synchronised skateboarding in a goer
And I reckon it's time to bring back the three legged race rather than the relay
