Ways To Improve The Olympics: Part 4 of ???

Steeplechase. This track and field event mainly involves running around in circles and jumping over random shit, including a puddle. It is so inconsequential that Konami did not even include it in it's hit 1988 Nintendo game "Track and Field."

Currently, the athletes run around 3000 meters. I say we quadruple that number.

They also run outside. Let's have them do it inside, with the heat really blaring. Say 103 degrees or so.

Then, instead of hurdles and puddles, we add somewhat jumpable electrified fences and a creek filled with piranhas and those tiny Amazon fish that swim up into urethras.

BAM! Now we've got an athletic event and/or a Japanese game show. Either way, the steeplechase has just become way more fun.
