Olympic fun...

What kind of event would you like to see at the Olympics that involves quicksand?

Quite a while ago, back in the days of the Sinking Island chatroom, several of us sort of invented a 'sport' that involved deep mud if not quicksand. As I recall, the principle people who did this were myself and japanese firecracker. The sport was an improvement upon wrestling, of the WWE variety, and was to involve women competitors. The arena was defined as nine standard-sized wrestling "rings" arranged in a three by three grid, but with ropes only around the overall perimeter. The eight outside rings were normal wrestling rings but the center one was defined as a pit of deep mud. I think we said ten feet deep at the time. The "rules," if wrestling of this type can be said to have rules, were the same as regular WWE-style wrestling, except that one can win a bout either by a pin (in the usual manner) or by causing your opponent to become submerged in the mud. I don't recall if we decided competitors would be topless or not.

Its not likely to get into the Olympics but it would certainly be entertaining.

Female QS sprinting.

A long QS pit, 10 feet deep, where the girls have to run through it and get to the other side without going under and before everybody else.

The art of the sport would be to try to be fast enough to finish before everybody else, without going so fast, you sink so deep you get stuck and go under!

Last year's gold medalist managed to get withing two feet of the finish line before she went under.

Blub!

Kaol wrote a long story about this back in 1995 in the old Usenet group alt.sex.fetish.wet-and-messy that featured women competing to sink themselves the most quickly with paramedics ready to rescue them once the judges ruled a winner. I have no idea how to find that story. But it was one of the first posts I read when I learned of that group and fellow enthusiasts for quicksand.

How about the quicksand long jump?
The gals have to try to jump over a patch of quicksand.

Also whatever the quicksand event at the presentation of the meadals one question the gals are asked "How excited are you gals about your medals?" and their response "It hasn't SUNK in it."

Someone privately brought this archived Kaol story to my attention:

This is a reprint of the 1995 story I mentioned earlier in this thread.
