Weird Olympics


That's right, we forked out the big bucks and the Yospe "No Idea" blog is sponsoring this years Beijing Olympics. Look for us in the following events. (All of the below are/were at one time actual events).

  • Trampoline- That's right, a real Olympic sport.
  • Solo Synchronized Swimming- You're mainly watching somebody's feet sticking out of a swimming pool. And you have to wonder who the ONE person is supposed to be synchronized with.
  • Badminton
  • Bocce
  • Table Tennis
  • Women's Weight Lifting
  • One Hand Weight Lifting
  • Live Pidgeon Shooting
  • Underwater swimming (Where else would you do it?) Swimmers were awarded points for how far they went and how long they stayed under water.
  • Swimming obstacle race. Racers had to swim through the River Seine, climb up and down a pole, then go over and under several boats.
  • Duelling pistol. Shooters fired at mannequins wearing frock coats and bull's-eyes on their chests.

Underwater swimming sounds fun. I bet I'd be really good at it!

I would definitely watch the underwater obstacle course. Who wouldn't watch that. And Ike would be good. He can hold his breath for a long time.
