This video is like 10% tongue in cheek, but for the most part, I actually stand by these suggestions. Maybe not in 2020, maybe not in 2024, but someday.

You forgot about a sport your beloved brother witnessed back in Berlin: Chess-Boxing. 3 Minutes of chess, 3 Minutes of Boxing. Winning by K.O. or checkmate. Literally Nerdfighting
-
Tug of war is actually very dangerous because the rope can snap, and it snaps with a deadly force
-
The Olympics does not need eSports. Esports needs to make its own olympics.
-
I saw a lot of Sepak Takraw being played while I was passing through the slums of Bangkok. It's crazy awesome...
-
You know what sport should be an Olympic sport? Two words. Medieval. Jousting.
-
Mounted archery ill be won by mongolia every year if it were in the olympics
-
Hide n Seek should be in the olympics.
-
See, in the UK, the Olympics is a grade 1 sporting event. This means that by law, it must be shown on freeview and can not be pay to watch
-
Ultimate Frisbee, it would become the second sport where men and women compete on an even playing field (the other being equestrian) and you basically need a field or a beach, and a frisbee. It's already got IOC recognition and is really entertaining to watch, plus with the whole being self refereed and promoting Spirit of the Game, it's really alligned with the olympic values
-
OK, so what did I miss...what do you think should be in my new massively parallel Olympics and why?
-
I was so happy when you said cheerleading. I've done competitive cheerleading for 13 years and it's so fun to do and watch! They're actually pushing to make it an olympic sport for 2020.
-
Kabbadi deserves a place!
-
I find your lack of DODGEBALL disturbing. C'mon Hank.
-
Mate, quidditch. It's gender inclusive and open to players of all abilities/sporting backgrounds. It also has the greatest community of any sport I've come across. I'm sure someone can enlighten me but I don't currently know of any mixed gender sports in the Olympics, everything is either mens or womens. Quidditch doesn't draw the line at binary, it is inclusive of ALL genders and I think it's time we had that sort of representation on the world stage.
-
This is such a great video Hank!!! I hadn't heard of so many of these sports but now I want all of them in the Olympics next time round. Your enthusiasm in this video is also just so cheering :)
-
Kite fighting kills people. After a kite is cut free it drifts away uncontrolled. Occasionally, one of these kites, with supper strong, glass coated string still attached cuts into someones neck and kills them. The sport is banned or heavily regulated in many countries for this reason.
-
Pole dancing. It's like gymnastics on a pole.
-
yes! Cheerleading! I don't understand why people still don't consider it a sport when team synchronized swimming is LITERALLY Cheerleading in the water!
-
Thumbs up for mounted archery.
-
please don't advertise kite fighting, it actually kills a lot of people, the string becomes fatal, specially for people riding bikes or motorcycles
