Urban Adventure Race: The Olympic Sport

With the Beijing Olympics just around the corner, I’ve begun thing about all the crazy sports that are recognized sports but have not been officially added to the Olympic program e.g., bridge, chess, korfball, powerboating and, of course, tug of war. Don’t you think the urban adventure racing would make a cool Olympic sport. (Orienteering is recognized, but not added to the official list of Olympic sports.) Teams from around the world answering universal questions (excluding life, ha) mixed in with physical challenges. “Swifter, Higher, Stronger!” I’d watch it. What are you’re thoughts.
