Reminder that all legitimate sports are military-derived and/or have obvious martial applications
Also reminder that the real Olympics should be decathlon format, where every nation submits a team of say 5 top athletes, who must compete in every sport, their scores being averaged to give the overall country score and decide the winning nation.
The sports involved should be a mix of agility and strength, finesse and brutality. They should include competing both against the clock (i.e. striving for your own perfection) and directly against opponents
