    The Olympics weren’t always about peak skill, at least in the athletic sense. Prior to (I think) 1948, they used to give out medals for artistic competition, like painting, sculpture or poetry.

    Personally, I think they could bring those back; I wouldn’t mind seeing an Olympic art competition. Heck, they could modernize it: Olympic rap battles/battles of the band, or Olympic Iron Chef.
