In total only 17 of 54 Olympic sports involve face to face defense

I'm proposing head-to-head action (not just head-to-head defense) as being more "sports-relevant" than prepared-program sports or time trial-style runs. For example, speed skating doesn't have a defense, but people are competing interactively and that seems to have some merit. In fact, any kind of race occurs to me as being very relevant sports-wise. Maybe because head-to-head action with an adversary drives the athelete to be more innovative with his skills in order to overcome the situation.

Does that help get my scoring up from 17/54 ?
