Now I'm thinking which one would be the funniest. Hurdles are definitely up there

Oh, right! Now I know why the image in my head was so vivid. I actually saw it before
Summer olympics: Pole vault
Winter olympics: Luge
For pole vaulting I'd be surprised if even one person would dare to do the jump. I'm pretty sure I'd chicken out, but to be fair, it looks like it's really easy to get hurt
There are a LOT of Olympic sports that you probably shouldn't "just do."
Diving, pole jumping, gymnastics in general
Fencing would be pretty amusing.
bonus points if it's horse based (though that's just jousting)
