The Terrible 20: Rejected Olympic Sports

JoshSimpson
The Olympic Committee sparked some outrage amongst the hot-headed knitting community recently when it suggested that the "Ravelympics," a competitive event for knitters inspired by the forthcoming London games, was disrespectful to the hard work and athleticism required to take part in the REAL Olympic Games. Apparently, competitive knitting isn't a real sport.

Today's rejected sports are tomorrow's Olympic events. We've come up with five rejected Olympic sports and we need your help coming up with 15 more. So leave your rejected Olympic sports in the comments section or tweet them @TeamCoco with #RejectedOlympics. We’ll pick the ones that are too terrible to believe and post them right here tomorrow. Do it to it!

UPDATE: The list is now complete! Thanks to everyone who took part.
