It would be easy to train for, climbing is very popular everywhere, it would also fit into the military theme of the sport. It would be interesting to see rope climbing back at the Games, it was part of the Games in the early days: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnastics_at_the_1896_Summer_Olympics_–_Men's_rope_climbing Just throwing out a wild & crazy idea, but I'm thinking one-on-one tug'o'war.

One-on-one that's more like a tug'o'small'battle though If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

NearPup 2,156 Posted November 4, 2021 #66 Share Posted November 4, 2021 http://ow.ly/iJ4i30rZhWq Sounds like there is real concern internally that Modern Pentathlon will be removed from the Olympic program from 2028 onwards by the end of this year.
