The Ancient Athenian Olympics

The Athenians have started the olympics.  I had a thought to start an olympics.  Here are my ideas

.We will only allow strong people who train vigorously here.  Only people with an online chess rating of 1600 will be eligable.

.For the running sport, alll participants will challenge me (don't worry, I've never beaten a 1600 before) .  Whoever can defeat me first shall win the event and gain a point.  The matches will be called "The Running Match."

.After that comes the wrestling sport, I will try to randomly pick people to wrestle(play online chess against each other).  To gain a point for this event, your opponent must either resign or fall unconciouss (lose).  If there is a stalemate, restart.  Matches will be called "Your wrestling Match"

.When all the wrestling matches are done, we will go into into The Chariot Racing.  We will need a volunteer with a not too high rating, but not too low the match is boring.  I will suppose the volunteer's screen name is XXX.  We will have a vote chess match. You and your horse (I'll act out the horse for everyone) will challenge XXX to a vote chess match.  I will post in the comments what I think is the best move, but not vote.  It's my rider's job to vote.  If we lose on time or by checkmate, you crashed and cannot win.  First one to beat XXX gets a points

.  I tally up the scores.  Whoever has the most points wins.  In Athens, the winner usually only got bragging rights and maybe a pot.  I haven't thought about what we can replace that pot for.  Fell free to examine my ideas, leave comments on what you like, what to change, or what the pot should be (or if it's nothing).
