15 Odd Olympic Games

Gamechangers for the 2016 Olympics

Now that Rio de Janeiro has been chosen for the 2016 Olympics, it’s time to start thinking about ways to set the games apart next time around.

London still gets a go-round, but that doesn’t mean that Rio can’t start thinking ahead for the 2016 Olympics innovations they can dazzle the world with.

For example, how about including video game competitions? The Wii could make virtual competitions as entertaining as the real ones. Or, if virtual isn’t your thing, there are plenty of choices for animal competitions (check out the guinea pig olympics). Here are some of the most interesting ideas to help the 2016 Olympics make history.
