The Olympics Are Weird

I've just been taking a look at the list of Olympic events. Weird, weird, weird.

Softball, water polo and BMX biking are in there, but not rounders.

Judo, two flavours of gymnastics and Taekwondo make the list, but no Tai Chi.

Wrestling, boxing and fencing, but no fisticuffs.

And worst of all, running and jumping, but no climbing trees.
Or "putting on make-up while you're there"¹.

I'm all for the Olympics, especially when someone else is paying for it, but they really ought to have consulted an expert (like me) when assembling the event list.

And I couldn't find a single mention of Sir Daley Thompson anywhere...
