Could "liquid mountaineering" become a legitimate sport?

Asked by ParaParaYukiko (6116points) May 23rd, 2010

Today my friend showed me this video that portrayed something called liquid mountaineering, a newly formed “sport” where these people use water-resistant sneakers and literally run on water. Crazy as it sounds, they’re not defying gravity—it truly looks like the physics are there to support running on water, as long as you do it right.

After seeing this, I wonder: could this ever be something that is accepted as a wide-spread sport? It seems that skateboarding wasn’t even considered a sport until the past couple decades…

What do you guys think? Will we be seeing “liquid mountaineering” in the Summer Olympics of 2030? I think it’d be pretty cool.
