3. Rope Climbing
The Olympics saw Rope Climbing competitions being staged from 1896 to 1932. In the first Olympics ever held, Rope Climbing was an even tougher proposition. The competitors were ranked by both time and style on a 15m long rope.
However, from the next Olympics onwards, the participants were ranked only on time taken to reach the top of the rope. For as long as it was there, it was a part of the Gymnastics events.
The sport has seen a revival of sorts in some European nations, but a comeback to the Olympics looks impossible as of now.
