We used to practice the Olympic Games too - but the only event we used to simulate was the torch lighting ceremony...
I lived up in the Blue Mountains when the Moscow Olympics were on, so we'd go down the bush and find as many fallen gum tree branches as we could and pile them up high. Then we'd roll up a newspaper tightly and dip the end in kerosene and then light it. We'd run around, passing it from one to the other until we lit the pile of branches and we'd get flames about forty feet high once the leaves caught alight - great fun
(Kiddies - don't try this at home, I was very irresponsible and I regret my actions hehe)
