The Weird Olympics

What if we used a little imagination and changed up some of the events. For example, what if the shot putters had to throw for height instead of distance - over a bar like the high jumpers? What if the relay runners carried vaulting poles instead of batons - and could carry them any way they wanted? What if the hurdlers had to go under the hurdles instead of over? What if the steeplechase became a Winter Olympics sport, and the water jumps were iced over? Just think about it, and you probably can come up with some others - strange, even sadistic. For example, what if the finish line on the 100 meter dash was a wire instead of tape, so the runners have to slow down and duck or slide under the finish?
