Tightrope walking demands the highest level of balancing skills and contolled movements. It's a most worthy event, and a great equiliser re bodytypes, sexual orientation and age. I'm a big fan of tightrope walking and have posted several related ideas on the halfbakery.
I also like the synchronised
swimming event, and once posted Synchronised Drowning. I now bring the idea of Synchronised Tighrope Walking as a proposed Olympic Event.
This would envolve at least two walkers on two parallel ropes traversing the spanned route using perfectly synchronised movements. This would include all wobbles, twitches, tentative steps, going forwards at various speeds, going backwards, turning around, balancing on one leg etc. All movements of the two walkers would have to be deliberate and identical.
Marks would be awarded for technical merit and artistic impression. Synchronised tightrope walking could be enlarged to create a Super Synchronised team event with the two sets of participants moving across multiple ropes in formation.
Also under development: Synchronised Bungee Cord Diving

tks - but don't give up on Synchronised Drowning. It's still one of my most fav ideas. |
|

Excellent. Although the looong technical hiatus of HB didn't help matters, the loss of some of our most brilliant, most abusive members really has seemed to have reduced membership. Some people came just for the abuse. |

Surprised we haven’t seen synchronized gymnastics
yet. |
|
| |
I also proposed Synchronised Climbing as an event. |

//and a great equiliser re bodytypes// ... except that
hemihyperplasics are shit out of luck: but you can't please everyone,
so have a bun anyway. [+] |

(Autocorrect wanted me to offer you a gun, but I'm pretty sure
you'ld prefer a bun). |
|
| |
No, I take that back; in the Paralympics, hemihyperplasics would
compete in this event in mirrored pairs. |
|

I usually get great ideas fueled by The Olympics. However, this
year they are on very early and I don't turn on the tele till
late. |
|
| |
I love this idea, and as usual, it has quite a beautiful visual
that is embedded in the idea. + |

//synchronized gymnastics//
There's team events in the rhythmic gymnastics (5 per team,
IIRC). |
