Daniel, Age 12, Brown Middle School

My new Olympic sport would be called Wipe Out Jr. It would be a solo sport. The equipment you would need is a life jacket because some of the obstacle courses have water. So what you do is you have a obstacle course and you have to go through the course as fast as you can and get the fastest time! The winner would get 50,000 dollars. You have to be 18 and over to compete. I think it would  be a fun sport to watch and play!
