Why isn't there a running nose competition in the olympics?

They tried it once, but all the competitors got sick of it.

Trying to find the answer for that myself, I found this article at this website: \nhttp://www.torino2006.org/ENG/OlympicGames/news/news_eng160276.html\n\nBasically, it says that Hubertus von Hohenlohe, who compets in skiing, was "the only Mexican who qualified and the Mexican Olympic Committee decided against sending him as a one-man team." - so, instead, they decided not to compete at all...\n...That is basically all that I've been able to find out.

I asked the same question myself...and even sent an email to Yahoo about it. I am a runner and would love a place here on Yahoo Answers.

You could probably got to the Rhinos website but it looks like it is under construction:\n\nhttp://www.rhinossoccer.com/

Wait...doesn't everyone in the world already breathe at the same time?  \n\nAre you trying to say that if some people weren't swimming under water or having a breath holding contest, we'd run out of air?  Wow-I thought I came up with some crazy stuff.\n\nI'm going with no on this one.

Because humans aren't ready to stop competing and help each other achieve.\n\n**************\n\nAnd my point was proved by the thumbs down.

This a tough question to answer as its hard not to come across as though you are discriminating against a certain kind of disability when trying to answer.  When I think of the para Olympics \nI think of people competing that have physical disabilities u don't often think of those with mental disabilities which I guess is wrong.  However it is one of those things that would be very hard to test and disprove.  The only kind of testing that I can think of would be psychological testing and an extensive search of a individuals medical records.  How ever in this day and age anyone could get there records fixed.\n\n\nThis question also raises the point of does a mental disability impair physically the ability of the body other than things like spacial awareness.

Possibly. but its very doubtful. If you google it you will see that they have proved it to be a myth. It is humanly impossible because the human face would have to have a different way of breathing. So i would have to say no its still a myth.

In order to be in the games, it must be "practised by men in at least seventy-five countries and on four continents".\n\nAre there 75 countries where you can surf?\n\nAnother problem would be finding a venue for the event that is close to the host city. Not a whole lot of surfing going on near Beijing or London.

No, besides the fact that it would be impossible to have live realtime results which would force long wait times between performances and the athletes receiving their scores, most people would only give good scores to the players from their own country. The general public is not unbias enough or knowledgable enough in the various competitions to give an accurate score. It would become a popularity contest and turn the olympics into a joke.

I sort of agree.  Especially during the Olympics.  The USA is so much bigger than (moire populated and better ) than all other countries, why don't they compete under specific states?

Same reason why we have the olympics to re-unify the world and create a link between different countries. It's also just competitive nature and countries wanting to be better than the others, patriotism and supporting your country, take your pick

he has his different way of getting ready for races. he can be a total ass but he's awesome. hes got an amazing skiing style and he just didn't show it at the olympics. maybe if tv networks showed more ski racing you would see how amazing he is.

They have 50 yard dashes? I could've sworn there is just the 40yd dash.\n\nBut anyway, if there is one, it probably started at the ancient Olympics in ancient Greece.
