More better olympics

Pick the 25 most popular sports in the world and each country gets to send 1 athlete to compete in all of them. Now this would be a cool test. I mean, cram them all in there. Track and field stuff, swimming, weights, net sports, whatever. Throw chess and some other "brain thinkery" activities in there.

Would you be getting the best in each sport? No. You wouldn't. But you would be getting to see some kick ass athletes who are effing versatile. Ok...maybe 25 is too many. Let's do ten. And let's add cycling and wrestling in there. So it'll be: wrestling, one cycling event, one swimming, one running event, one track and field event, chess, one weight lifting event, and two others.

And just do world's strongest man format. I think it'd be really interesting to see what country could last through all these events and end up winning.

Not that I mind the current Olympics. They're just so...large. And confusing. But cool. I still want mine though. And every country only gets one entry damn it. One man and one woman. If you can't last through all the events then you lose.
