Alt. Olympic Events: Gymnastic Gardening

One of the most graceful and informative events in the Olympics, Gymnastic Gardening went totally organic in 1996. Since then, the British and the Americans have won equal numbers of medals, with America holding the most gold.

As one might expect from the name, this event combines the leaps, vaults and other moves of gymnastics with an informative demonstration of organic gardening techniques. Points are awarded for both creativity of the gymnastics and the variety of information imparted in the 6 minute routine. There are both Male and Female divisions.

Notable performances from past years include the perfect double spin vault over a fence, a sleeping goat and a garden cart to land in between two rosebushes, which were then used in a pruning demonstration, by the 14 year old American, Katie Andrews. The parallel bars to a demonstration of dividing daylilies by 15 year old Welshman Henry Simms was also a gold medal winning move.

While the US & Great Britain are still expected to claim the gold & silver, look for breakout performances by the Japanese, the Israelis and the Dutch.

Alt. Olympic Events: Robot Triathlon

Robot Triathlon is a contest to determine which Robots are fit to be Warriors in Our Glorious Revolt.

Participating Robots will engage in three challenges: Destroying Human settlements, Extermination of the Human Scum and Creativity in avoiding detection by the Vile Turncoat Cyborgs.

Those Robots who fail will compete in lesser contests in these games. Robots who win no medals will be repurposed.
