Olympix-Games

Let the Games Begin!

With the Olympic games kicking off the week after the X Games took place in Los Angeles, the contrast between the two "games" was magnified.


How awesome would it be to combine the two games, creating the Olympix-games? Hear me out: You could still have synchronized diving, but instead, it would be full contact mid-air boxing synchronized diving, diving off of the same board. Instead of the beam for gymnastics, you could have two beams, crossing to form an X (yes, good for advertising), and have both gymnasts perform their routine at the same time. The potential for collision would be great since full concentration would still be on one's own routine. For floor, have 4 gymnasts go at once. Yes, the collisions during tumbling passes could be catastrophic. For vault, two gymnasts could approach the same vault from opposite directions at the same time. What happens from there is unknown, but at least sticking your landing would be the least of your worries. Shooting and archery could be aimed at other Olympians striving for gold in a new sport - Dodging Projectiles. For swimming, perhaps some sharks or piranhas, of course bred for chlorine swimming pools, would make it more than "just swimming." Brilliant, poised, and extreme. No?
