What would the Middle-Earth Olympics be like? It would be a game of good vs. evil. On one side you would have the evil forces of Sauron, Saruman, and Russia; on the other side you would have the forces of Men, Elves, and Dwarves representing the free peoples. It would be held in Michel Delving, the capital of the Shire.
There would be many different games such as a relay race of Man, Elf, and Dwarf vs. Uruk-hai, Orc and Troll. There would be archery contests, sword fighting tournaments, horse riding competitions, and swimming races.
One crowd favorite would be the River Barrel Race. How this sport works is the athletes ride barrels down a stream using all sort of weapons and battle tactics to defeat the other competitors, also mounted on barrels. The first one to make it to the end of the river alive with barrel intact is the winner.
This is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Middle-Earth sports found in the Olympics.
