I would have to disagree and say jet ski is the most unusual sport. I would also be ok with Indonesia hosting the Olympics

North Korea and South Korea will compete under the same flag in basketball, dragon boat and in rowing (only lightweight men's fours, lightweight men's eight and lightweight women's double sculls)

Well, I wasn’t counting demo sports, and is actually a rather established sport compared to jet ski

Jet ski is a racing sport which is worth watching at least on the beaches. No mad would watch a bridge game being played. If jet ski is unusual then motor sports or formula one are also unusual and if bridge is a very nice sport then even ludo or snake and ladders or any dice game are also nice.  LOL
