Uh... chess boxing? I share your confusion and puzzlement. What next? Perhaps baseball kayaking? Checkers basketball? Ski football? Oh, wait, I have it! The OIympic Pentathlon!

That would be the Olympic Military Pentathlon. Which was George Patton's sport in 1912.

What about this as an Olympic sport?

I could understand the 'faster', but what about the 'higher' and 'stronger'?

Cheers

Gotta get those ratings up, y'know!
