It would have to be an individual sport.
My pick would be any swimming competition except relay.

My new sport: Nordic Triathlon. You crouss country ski to a 90m ski jump, then while you are in mid air you need to hit a target with your rifle. Tell me you wouldn't watch that!

Oh, and if I'm not allowed to make up a sport, I'd choose curling. Same gold medal as everyone else, but probably way more beer.

This is a good call. Not the most glamorous sport outside of Norway but it's one of those rare sports that could carry over into real life with benefits.
I'd choose ski jumping because if I could win that it would mean I had cojones much bigger than I actually have.

Biathlon is my Winter!!!
It's just so bizarre & awesome!
For summer I'm going with Archery...tho I would want to compete with some major Longbow, and not a Compound Bow with that awkward sight on it.
...let a brother dream!

The Decathlon. The person that wins this is considered the worlds best athlete.
