The benefit of this one is that it could be a fringe event at the real Olympics.

You can picture it now can't you?

Duane Lardparts (Western Hemisphere Javelin champeen) legs it up to the line with a big pointy implement and lashes it into the air. The commentary is taken up, "Yes he's got a good angle, this could be a long throw... and from the side is a little person from Scotland wearing a bright orange wig and tartan underpants. He's running into the path of the javelin! IS HE CRAZY! Ah no, I can see he has a little square of paper with the number 42 on his chest he must be a competitor. He launches himself into the air... will he catch it? Oh, no the turned down top of his wellie has caused more drag than he'd anticipated. This could be serious! Phew... a lucky escape no serious damage done... just a hole in the wig.

I see he's off to fetch a new wig from his sports bag and then he's off to the quarter finals of heading the shot.

It's all in the name of sport so let's be bringing vegetation into it.
