But when we asked what new sports you'd like to see make an appearance in the next Olympics in Paris 2024, we had such a good chuckle at your answers, we just had to put them together and share.
In fact, we think we can make a case for the inaugural 'Northern Olympics'. You have to admit, it has a ring or five to it.
7. Whack-a-mole
Sarah Sackfield suggested cracking crabs as in the amusement arcade where you have to hit things that bob up out of holes with a mallet. A real test of instant reaction and hand eye co-ordination! "I would be a gold medal winner for sure" she said.
8. Parcel drop
Karen Lee-Roberts wondered whether there's scope for "Delivery driver parcel drop at wrong house and get back in yer van without being seen"
9. Quiet tennis
Andi Leach suggested 'Quiet tennis'. He added (wait for it...) it's like normal tennis but without the racket.....
10. Burping the alphabet
Ashley Brook wanted to see Burping the Alphabet featured, while Lisa Sewell said that she'd burped "Fenchurch Street Station" once, and it was a 'very proud moment'.
11. Making the bed
Andrea Bannister said that putting a superking size duvet cover on...on your own. It feels like it should be an Olympic event!
12. Queuing
Dave Catling thinks if queuing was an Olympic event the UK would get gold medals for sure, rest of the world would be disqualified for jumping the queue
