Sports we bet you didn't know were part of the Olympics!

The latest news and updates from the world of sport: oly.ch/OlympicNews

I suppose you cannot really say "synchronised" if there's only one performer since synchronised swimming is about synchronised choreography accompanied by music. That's why I love that the term has now been changed to artistic swimming, which may pave the way to the return of solo artistic swimming.

You can still catch Skijoring in Leadville, CO and a few other mountain towns in the winter here. It's always a great time.

Anxious to see more of the Rope Climbing

Skijoring doesn't seem dangerous at all.

I knew all the ones from the summer games because I have an unhealthy obsession with the summer games. But the winter ones were new to me. I particulary like Ski Ballett.

I didn't know there were Demonstration sports in the Olympics. Saldy in the US, with NBC having a stranglehold on the Olympic footage I almost exclusively see diving, swimming, ski events, and running. Of course there is a smattering of other events that I catch here and there, but never the things I want to see. The Olympics are a world wide event and should be freely viewable for streaming online instead of being locked behind a corporate pay wall. There's a huge disconnect between society at large and the Olympics at this point. I'm the only person I know that even tries to watch them anymore. Having grown up watching them in the 80's it was such a big thing, so there's some nostalgia there for me. I'd love to be able to pull up an Olympics app and watch, in real time or later on, any event I wanted to. I've always wanted to see Fencing and some of the Martial Arts, but I never have.

I am a big fan of the olympics , I knew Basque Pelota was a sport in Barcelona 1992

Everyone who has followed the games knows Tug-of-war was once included. You know which one was hard to believe, motor vehicle racing. It was a demonstration sport at the Paris 1924 games.

Bring back the tug of war but Squid Games style!

let's bring all of these ack but if we only brought one back I would choose tug of war

Great dive!!! Photo finish!!

Wow. I really didn’t know this!

1:57 the sport that WILL make its return albeit in a 6 a side version

What about Town Planning… bet you didn’t know it was once an Olympic event

I knew almost all of these, because i have a problem.

Shame about tug of war, I’d rather see muscle than artistic stuff. Like in the Ancient Greek olympics. Pay homage to our power and skill!!!

Bring back ski ballet

Anyone know what sport and team is in the thumbnail, or where the picture is from?

Cricket was also an Olympic sport
