    What about in the Special Olympics? The wheelchair long jump, high jump and pole vault.

    Although I wonder if they could replace the pole vault for the wheelchair catapult. Extra artistic points given for the nailing landing.

    I remembered a game we played in primary school that would be perfect....

    Anyway, there was a big * off set of stairs at one end of the playground (only about 12 steps, but it seemed massive at the time) anyway, the person jumping the stairs would pick the number he thought he could clear, e.g. 7.. so seven people would lie at the bottom of the stairs.... anyway, if the person cleared it, they were onto the next round, if they didn't and landed on the 5th person, as part of the game, the 5th, 6th and 7th person would all beat the * out of them and that was them out of the round.. I usually made the finals cos I was a good jumper, but I remember a classic occasion during the finals on a very rainy day when I was a finalist. I attempted to go for ten, so ten lied down at the bottom of the stairs, I ran up for a monster jump and slipped before I jumped and landed on the first guy. The *-kicking I got that time was unbelievable :56:

    That would be perfect for playing at the Olympics, it would combine jumping, running, martial arts and boxing..
