Synchronised snoring.

The Sciatia Endurance 100meters Limp.

MiniMouse I will join you in the Procrastination event, then we can enter the team event. I'm aiming for a triple medal win by also entering the Lethargy and Apathy events! grin

Hopefully GNHQ will provide new emoji! wink

Lona Thu 04-Aug-16 17:28:02

I'll win the gold in the cup of tea making event, and silver for slicing some cake onto a plate!
Definitely a bronze for best couch potato hmm

I am entering the putting on tights from a standing position event. Points are deducted for snagging the fabric, putting them on backwards and holding on to furniture. Falling over naturally leads to disqualification. However, it is a popular spectator sport as my OH will agree.

MiniMouse Thu 04-Aug-16 17:21:02

Definitely the Procrastination Event for me!

MiniMouse Thu 04-Aug-16 17:20:15

Oh kitty this must all be so unbearable for you sad
Definitley gold medal for you sunshine (the closest emoji on here!)

Pint-lifting.

kittylester Thu 04-Aug-16 17:19:54

Alternatively I could be in the team for falling asleep halfway through Eastenders!

kittylester Thu 04-Aug-16 17:17:45

I will bring home the gold medal for sitting by a sleeping 94 year old wondering if she will wake. It's an endurance test and I did one of the heats today.

The first to get to bed after the 9o'clock chimes.

Tizliz Thu 04-Aug-16 17:08:07

I am entering the remote control relay, providing we can find it at the right time

Jane10 Thu 04-Aug-16 17:00:26

I am a sure fire winner of the 'Who can avoid watching or reading about the Olympics the most'!

joannapiano Thu 04-Aug-16 16:57:37

I am a champion at indecision.
At least I think I am.

Nonnie Thu 04-Aug-16 16:46:17

Can I be the commentator on all your sports please? I'm sure I'd be as good as football commentators who say things like "they won't win unless they score goals"

Christinefrance Thu 04-Aug-16 16:12:07

Chocolate eating event for me

NanKate Thu 04-Aug-16 15:58:04

I will be carrying the UK flag tomorrow night, it will be a special Gransnet version which will illustrate walking frames, padded knickers, surgical hose, indigestion tablets and a large bottle of sherry/gin/vodka.

The rest of you will be walking behind in an orderly manner grin

Juggling? Baby grandchild, phone, mug of coffee, assorted toys.

Anya Thu 04-Aug-16 15:55:19

Stair climbing marathon - linked to constantly forgetting what I went upstairs for in the first place.

hildajenniJ Thu 04-Aug-16 15:55:18

Ladies handicap dog leaping.

This involves jumping over the dog when it suddenly stops in its tracks in the kitchen!

Gagagran Thu 04-Aug-16 15:50:03

Anti-clockwise coffee stirring with one hand tied behind the back. Maximum rotations counted in 1 minute. It's a new event this year.

DaphneBroon Thu 04-Aug-16 15:28:12

The triple jump otherwise known as the "Hop, trip and oops"

Gymnastics specialising in floor exercises
