Olympic Eye Chart
This is a great video, but repeated viewing will lead to the sport of competitive eye chart reading being added to the 2020 Olympics.
Can this be presented with better resolution?

Collection of flowers.
The right rose
appears in my mind,
and everywhere
shines when the
soft wind remains
in the light of
a flower; the cold
leaf is dead
and here there's
a shadow, the
delicate dark and
a loving profile.

Boomerang Throwing
and if only boomerang throwing would be included in the olympics. And BBQing. Then australia would definitelly top the medal tally.
