I'm generally pretty indifferent to the Olympics. There are some years where I get into it, but a lot of times, I just ignore it. This also holds true with Olympic swimming, but I have thought for a long time that they should add dog paddling to the roster in terms of races. Why? I just think it would be funny. Come on, can't you just imagine Michael Phelps and all of the other top swimmers in the world trying to swim a 100 m race by dog paddling? It would be utterly ridiculous and that alone will make people want to tune in and watch it.
The only question is whether or not it will get old. Sure, seeing it the first couple of times will be funny, but there's a chance that the joke will get old. Considering that it will only come up every 4 years, I think enough time will pass between races that people will still be able to get a kick out of it for decades to come.
