    Boxing and the Marathon.

    26 miles of face punching.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,954 ✭✭✭✭Larianne


    For me canoeing and shut putting.

    How would that work then? Shot putting from the canoe or shot putting the canoe?

    I'd go with gymnastics and diving. Do your routine on the beam at the edge of the dive board, then round off from the beam off the board and continue your sommersaults into the pool. Could also work with the uneven bars, vault and high bar.

    Fencing and trampoline, fencampolining. Go!!

    Javellin/Archery and Cross Country Horse Riding.

    It'd be a skill worth having.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,605 ✭✭✭irish_stevo815


    100m sprint and archery. Imagine the carnage


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,990 ✭✭✭longshanks


    Diving and weightlifting. Triple back double pike rotating half somersault, with the 250 kilo bar, oh my god he's done it, shit he's not breathing...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,739 ✭✭✭ASOT


    The pole vault archery would be fairly savage.

    Archery and horse riding. Because archery by itself does not require that much skill.


  • Registered Users Posts: 75 ✭✭RB94


    Sailing and shooting. It'd be tough to beat the Somalians though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    Canoeing and archery


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,001 ✭✭✭recylingbin


    I would pay good money to watch Hammer Judo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,532 ✭✭✭Unregistered.


    Cycling and javelin.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,836 ✭✭✭Colmustard


    Equestrian and trampolining.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,630 ✭✭✭Zen65


    Judo and Beach Volleyball. The event would be rubbish but the viewing figures would be massive!!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 4,991 ✭✭✭mathepac


    Equestrian synchronised swimming


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 4,991 ✭✭✭mathepac


    400 mtrs hurdles shooting


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,262 ✭✭✭✭GavRedKing

    beach volleyball and trampolining :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 225 ✭✭Chips Ahoy


    The 100m meter sprint expect its in race walking.

    It would be both hilarious and intriguing.

    Or water polo and shot putting. :)

    Wresting and fencing.

    Archery and basketball would be a bit of a spoil sport though.

    Trampoline weightlifting?

    Boxing and synchronised swimming.

    Trampolining and fencing


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,923 ✭✭✭cloptrop


    Judo really needs a revamp its so boring. Maybe they should be allowed punch and kick each other. So for me its got to be boxing and judo .
    Id love to see a shot putter hitting one of them punching machines you see in arcades would be awesome.

    That'd be the Tour de France.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,944 ✭✭✭✭4zn76tysfajdxp


    I'd combine the 200m dash with another 200m dash to create a whole new and unique race: the 400m. Some may say it's impossible but I think it could happen. One day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,067 ✭✭✭Gunmonkey


    100m hurdles and gymnastics - none of this namby pamby jumping over, somersault and cartwheel over
    Judo and equestrian - man vs horse, no holds barred
    Shooting and shot putt - one person throws, other shoots. Team who hits their target furthest distance wins
    Canoeing and parallel bars
    Cycling and weight lifting
    High dive and fencing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,646 ✭✭✭✭Sauve


    Firegolf.

    Trampoline Gymnastics? Thats would be cool.

    No safety glass for spectators either.:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,336 ✭✭✭wendell borton


    Canoeing and archery

    John Boorman made a film about that.:rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,073 ✭✭✭Pottler


    100m sprint and weightlifting. Be funny to see a bow legged Albanian with shoulders like a bullocks arse waddling along with a barbell on his chest. Seeing ten of them doing the same, maybe with a few hurdles and a waterjump would be gas.
