5 crazy Olympic sports and events that have now been discontinued

4. Swimming Obstacle Course

Although there are no chances of it returning, but if it does, it will be massively popular

A combination of a swimming event and an obstacle race, the event required the athletes to scramble over a row of boats, and then swim under another row of boats in the River Seine. This event was staged just once in the 1900 Olympics and was discontinued.

But it is quite possible that the creator of our childhood favorite show Takeshi’s Castle got his idea of the show from this event. Australian Fred Lane took home the gold.
