What a Great Way to Promote the Peace: Trek Olympics

Parissies Squares comes to mind, as do various track and field events. If the English settled outside of Earth as vigorously as they colonized it at their height, it might include cricket. Perhaps handball would feature; it seems to be popular among many species.

The great difficulty with Olympics in the Trek world is the disparity between various species....humans are more or less the same, but Vulcans would have a decided advantage over human competitors, some species might be semiaquatic, and then there's the fact that different species come from planets with different gravities, so some would be at a disadvantage and some at an advantage.
 
Yeah, it'd be a tough one to figure out. Imagine having to go up against a Xindi-Aquatic in swimming.

Also, shouldn't this be in the general Trek board?
 
You know as often as Parrises Squares is mentioned you'd think we'd have seen it. All we know really is it's quasi-dangerous and the Federation at least plays it a lot.

Really with all the racial differences, you'd have to find some sort of triathilon equivilent. An obsticle course that would address each species strengths/weaknesses respectively.
 
Or the each species would have different events. It would be a lot of sports to cover.
