If it was up to you to add a marksmanship event for the 2016 Olympics?

I just want to know how "obstacle course" isn't an event

Like a legit version of the TV ninja challenges

3-gun!

Of course, I'm still waiting for them to act on my recommendation to add no-wing sprint cars on alcohol to the events...

Why not Skeet shooting?

Skeet is already an Olympic shooting sport.

I can't think of too many Olympic sporting events where surprise is a variable. And for good reason. People want to see athletes perform at extraordinary levels which they train for.[/QUOTE

Anything where you face human competition on the field of play.

I don't see how not being able to memorize practiced actions for the entire performance ahead of time means you don't see extraordinary levels of performance.

The "you can't keep it hidden somebody will cheat" angle might be the killer though.

Naw. Even in boxing, wrestling, judo, etc. one's competitors are scouted. In the end it would be impossible to keep a course 100% secret so it's a non-starter.
