Chessboxing
I don't know if you guys saw this on the Intern's links last week, but the 1st world championship of chess boxing was held somewhere in Europe (Amsterdam, I think). There are six rounds of chess and five rounds of boxing, alternating chess then boxing until the last round of chess (here's the link: http://site.wcbo.org/content/e381/e385/index_en.html ).
Alright, let's think of other board games that would be funny as hell paired with a sport. Several of my ideas are:
Hungry, Hungry Hippos - Big Game Hunting (Play the game, kill a hippo)
Sorry! - 800 m. relay (You can't run until your piece is safe)
Chutes and Ladders - Luge (If you fall down a chute, you have to finish a luge run before its your turn again or you have to start all over at the begining)
Any other ideas?
