Seeing we've got the long jump and the high jump in Athletics, I'd propose a new event, called the 'deep jump'. The idea would be for athletes to jump from a tower with platforms at varying heights, with optional added blocks for additional height. Athletes are expected to land feet first (no roll-overs allowed) on a concrete platform. A critical aspect of this new discipline would be the ability to climb the tower after a jump. A result will therefore only stand if the athlete manages to return to the starting position (unaided) within a time of, say one minute. Athletes may receive treatment for injuries, but such treatment does not allow for additional time in reaching the starting position.

The winner will be the athlete that managed a successful jump from and return to the highest starting position.

I'm sure we can all agree that this new discipline will be thoroughly entertaining to watch, and an absolute crowd pleaser.
