Exclusive olympics Paris Olympics
22 alternative Olympic events people would like to see
It’s the final day of the Paris Olympics, at the time of writing, and we’ll have to wait until August 28 for the Paralympics. How will we cope?
We asked Poke readers about events that aren’t currently in the Olympics that they’d like to see added – based on everyday activities – and you never know …perhaps they’ll turn up in 2028.
People had a lot of suggestions, including some that weren’t all that ordinary. These were our favourite comments.
