Yngling was made an Olympic sport in 2004, but for women only.
So what is Yngling?

It's actually a Norwegian word meaning "Youngster" if that's any help.
It's not weightlifting anyway...

Well I've learned my lesson!
To be honest, yngling is more of a class of a sport than a sport itself. Yngling is also the name of the equipment used. Suffice to say, it's one of those Olympic sports that gets about 5 minutes of coverage if nothing else interesting happened that day.

I feel weird. I nearly asked the question "How many episodes of Bagpuss were made?"
However...
