Dan Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Liverpool’s bid for the 2012 Olympics In an attempt to influence the members of the international Olympic Committee on their choice of venue for the games in the year 2012, the organisers of Liverpool’s bid have already drawn up an Itinerary and schedule of events. A copy of which has been leaked, and is reproduced below. Opening Ceremony The Olympic flame will be ignited by a petrol bomb thrown by a native of the city, in the traditional dress of hooded-top and shell suit. The flame will be contained in a large overturned police van situated in the roof of the stadium. The Events In previous Olympic Games, Liverpool’s competitors have not been particularly successful. In order to redress the balance, some of the events have been altered slightly to the advantage of local athletes: 100 Metres Sprint Competitors will have to hold a video recorder and microwave oven (one in each arm) and on the sound of the starting pistol, a police dog will be released from a police dog van 10-yards behind the athletes. 110 Metre Hurdles As above but with added obstacles (i.e. car bonnets, hedges, garden fences, walls etc) Hammer Competitors in this event may choose the type of hammer they wish to use (claw, sledge etc) the winner will be the one who can cause the most physical damage within three attempts. Fencing Entrants will be asked to dispose of as many stolen goods as possible in five minutes. Shooting A strong challenge is expected from local men in this event. The first target will be a moving police van. In the second round, competitors will aim at a rival drug dealer, post office counter assistant, bank cashier or Securicor wages delivery man. The traditional .22 rifle has been replaced in this event by a choice of either an Uzi automatic handgun or sawn-off 12-bore shotgun. Boxing Entry to the boxing will be restricted to husband and wife teams, and will take place on a Friday night. The husband will be given 15 pints of lager while the wife will be told not to make him any tea when he gets home. The bout will then commence. Cycling Time Trials Competitors will be asked to break into the University bike shed and take an expensive mountain bike owned by some mummy’s boy on his first trip away from home, all against the clock. Cycling Pursuit As above, but the bike will be owned by a visiting member of the Australian rugby team, who will witness the theft. Modern Pentathlon Amended to include mugging, breaking and entering, flashing, joyriding and arson. Swimming The Mersey and all adjacent waterways are currently being tested for toxicity levels, once one is found that can support human life, swimming events will be organised, please note that the Synchronised Swimming even for this year will comprise of dropping acid and watching all the funky ripples on the pool, the specific musical support to this event will be provided by “The Verve†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
