Tug-o-War would be cool! I may be wrong, but I think it used to be in the Olympics. Any nation could play, there is no elitism like so many other Olympic sports like golf, equestrian etc. You just need some rope!
But Chess?

American football? Is it played in any country besides the US? Olympics are already overcrowded.

Please, no sports that only "rich" countries can participate in. How about Ekiden? Tug o war might be entertaining too.

I would love to see Chess and surfing as Olympic sports! (But who are we kidding, it's going to be baseball and softball... )

I pretty much stopped reading the list at Bridge and chess......Chess? Bridge? Really? Why not include poker and backgammon while we're at it.

Orienteering would be interesting, and what is "underwater"?
