It’s double trouble for Olympians

Among the wonderful sports in the Winter Olympics is the biathlon, in which competitors ski for a while and then shoot something with a rifle.

There should be more of these combinations.

Someone should start Formula 1/javelin, in which drivers make life more difficult for their opponents by hurling a javelin at other cars on a hairpin bend.

Or ski-jumping/snooker, so half-way down, you play a shot on a table that’s dangling from a cable car.

Or gymnastics/rugby. To convert a try, you twizzle round the posts before somersaulting off and landing neatly in the mud.
