From the land down under come six sports that will never make the Summer Olympics. These offbeat but entertaining events do, however, make for a lot of fun.In the Belly Whack, your overweight diver needs as many good breaths as possible so he can spring off the board, go into a horizontal position, and land flat on his tummy. Equally zany are the Dry River Race, in which you and a friend run with a boat over your heads down a dry river bed, and the Beer Shoot (a.k.a. the Soda Shoot), in which your buddies toss empty bottles from your jeep
while you pick them off midair with your trusty shotgun. Less bizarre —but also entertaining— are the Boomerang Throw, Marlin Fishing, and Beach Footy, a kickball game played with two-man teams.
