1. What's the deal with downhill skiers doing time trials? Why not send 'em down the mountain in batches? That would be far more entertaining.

2. Why do ice skaters have to all go in the same direction when racing?

3. And surely hurdles could be included.

4. Why are there only guns in the biathlon? I'm sure they could be accommodated in a number of other sports.

5. And the guns are only used on targets... paintballing other competitors would be far better for the competition.

6. Now I acknowledge that figure skating is very clever and grueling and whatnot. But if dance isn't in the summer Olympics, I'm not convinced that figure skating has a place. But then I'm not sold on rhythmic gymnastics or synchronised swimming either...

7. And where are the toboggans?

8. Heh I just found an excellent example for suggestion 10 and now I can't think of 8 or 9.

9. Oh well.

10. Roy and HG would make any events more entertaining even without any of the alterations suggested here.
