i think we need a normie olympics, it'd be like the paralympics, but for people randomly selected from the average population.
My kid said just the other day. "they should have an average person do it first so we could see the difference."
Now I'm thinking which one would be the funniest. Hurdles are definitely up there

Oh, right! Now I know why the image in my head was so vivid. I actually saw it before
Diving, pole jumping, gymnastics in general
Fencing would be pretty amusing.
bonus points if it's horse based (though that's just jousting)
i absolutely agree with your kid, get that kid on marketing stat!
I told her the same thing. She should pitch it for the next Olympics. She'd be 14 when that happens. Gives her four years to plan.
You should watch Takeshis Castle then. It's pretty close to normie olympics.
Sometimes athletes go on, but the obstacles are so fucky even they struggle with it.
oh right, that show, i remember hearing about it at one point, what a weird show.
