Hey guys, I heard that climbing is being added to the Japan 2020 Olympics, I was wondering whether anyone was petitioning for caving to be made a competitive sport? feel like you could have different categories; fastest through trip, fewest rebelays, longest freedive etc. I'm sure some of the more experienced caving photographers/videographers would be interested in filming it commercially.

thanks,  :hug:

No. No. No. No. No. No.
That's just my view, other's opinions may differ. Who will front it? Who picks the bodies from the sumps for Sky TV shareholders?

I don't know what you know Tarquin, but the winter olympics demonstration sports function was stopped after 92 Albertville.  Pyeongchang is pretty soon for inclusion so Beijing is more likely.  You won't be stepping on toes by working on it.

We could take a leaf from CHECCs book and include beer pong, speed rope packing, and body traversing?

Those Spanish cavers are much more TV-friendly than the typical Dales troglodytes
