Also, you include the word fictional in the question, but some of these are not fictional, such as mountain climbing.

@Jessica

thank you for your input, I added a description to blitzball, can you please check if it is correct? I also included "bizarre (or fictional)" .

Card mixing and dealing

(maybe there is a better image somewhere). Please look at this:

(I think it slightly misses the criteria, because it is not fictional. Some guys do that for real. But it would be cool to face this at the Olympics - Cardistry).

The games of the movie Tron, especially Laserbiking (I guess it was called so).

Barrel Lifting,

I guess there would be nations who would have a clear advantage - like the Swiss, when it comes to skiing or bob sliding.

Clouseau Hunting

There is a target person in a defined olympic country and there are several clear hints in the Citizenry. Who masters the search for Inspector Clouseau and hunt's down the trophy? - A Clouseau gold medal, for second and third place there can be intalled tricky decoys to distract from Clouseau.

The site doesn't work well. I got your mail with Rosamunde, but it doesn't show on the screen. I guess it's the same with my VPN. Since I use it, I got several mails which asked me, if it's truely me. I hope this bugs will be fixed.

When I logged out, the lines came all up on screen.

This must be a new feature. That wasn't always.

@mariojacobs,

Please remember that polls are limited to 35 choices. Your list currently has 39 choices.

You may wish to break up this poll into two separate polls if you wish to keep all 39 choices. For instance, you could have one poll that includes real but unconventional sports; the companion poll could be fictional sports.

By the way:
