One new Olympic event is the Doughnut Eating Contest!
Sochi, Russia – Olympics officials have announced some new and exciting events that will make their international debut at the Sochi Winter Olympic Games.
SnowCat Fights: Women from opposing countries try to run each other over while driving treaded snowcat mountain machines.
Vertical Toboggan Run: An exciting 100-foot vertical drop straight down in a small wooden toboggan. Watch out at the bottom!
Avalanche Survival Test Event: Team competition that awards one point for each team member who survives a real-life avalanche.
King of the Hill: This one is pretty self-explanatory. Whoever can stand at the top of the giant snowpile for a full ten seconds is declared the winner.
Team/Individual Snowball Fights: This is a high-speed cross between DodgeBall and PaintBall except it is played with snowballs, none of which can be pre-made.
Donkey Kong Races: Multi-faceted racing event in which participants are blind-folded, covered with a gunny sack, and then spun in circles, just before the start gun.
Penguin Shooting Contest: Just imagine skiing to the next shooting location, drinking a shot of vodka, shooting real penguins, and then repeating this over and over.
Snowman Build & Destroy Event: Another team event which should really be a crowd favorite!
Snow Angels: Individual competition but held in two different categories – Gay and Straight.
Ice Skate Throwing: With such sharp blades, this one can get bloody dangerous, as the Brits would say.
Find the Black Widow Suicide Bomber: This is a special team event for the Sochi Olympic security staff.
