2. That should be included as well

4. Hey-I left my unposted reply on the computer because I have a stray kitten in the basement

and when I came back- *twilight zone music* you had posted ~part of it!

Concussion causes slowing of reaction time

-and they allow initially four, then three minutes for the chess rounds. :O

Hey, it would be fun to think up some more new Olympic games combinations.
Surf-skeet shooting?

5. Also Shotgun Golf, the subject of Hunter Thompson's final column for ESPN:

6. That's the problem with golf - there's no defense

Frisbee golf with shotguns would be fantastic!

7. Plate-Spinning/Skeet

.
I haven't thought about this in DECADES, but there used to be
one of these guys or one of these teams on TV at least once a
week (e.g. Ted Mack's Original Amateur Hour or Ed Sullivan).
.
Or... so my, you know...DAD told me.
.
Skeet shooting would have livened these demonstrations up
immeasurably.

8. Biathlon.

Anyone criticizes your skiing, you can shoot him. This increases your score.

9. I'm more of a purist. I prefer Checko-Roman wrestling.

Of course, "being jumped" has a whole different connotation...
