I would add Cybersport to the Olympics. Something like attaching WCG to Olympics, or something similar.

I think that professional cybersport and traditional sports are equal and must not be strictly differetiated. Sport is sport, no matter what tools you use.

Slightly off-topic here, but I wonder what you all think about the differentiation between the sexes in "cyber" sports? I always assumed there wouldn't be one, since the physical differences between male and female that are apparent in many "real" sports simply don't apply to playing computer games - so I was severely disappointed when I found out that men compete seperately to women. What do you all think?

Anyway, new sports for the Olympics... erm... Russian Roulette's probably a bit harsh, but maybe they could do it with a taser?

This is troubling me also, but I think it will change quite soon.
Plus, even now some tournaments have both female and male teams compteting together.
Important thing now is to attract more females to solo games, like Warcraft/Starcraft/Quake.
In S.Korea (the ultimate StarCraft world leaders) there are quite a lot of girls playing Starcraft with guys.

It will all change in time, just like traditional sports did. Ya'know, Ancient Greeks also did not allow women into sports. But not anymore.

Actually, there were women competitors in ancient Greece.
