The Next Olympic Sport?

I hadn't really heard much about Free Running (or Parkour as it's sometimes called) until my brother Rob introduced me to it this Summer.  These guys look like they have springs in their legs.  I find it totally amazing and entertaining. I mean if trampoline can be an Olympic sport then why not this? :) The 2012 Summer Olympics will be in London, right? Can't you just envision guys jumping off Big Ben or running up the walls of Buckingham Palace? Well, maybe not, but it's still cool.

They have some pretty obscure sports in the Olympics, so if they added this one, it wouldn't surprise me. I actually believe that the greatest medal of all should go to all the Mothers of young children, who contribute more to the cause of world peace than all of the athletes and/or beauty pageant participants combined!
