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

yes, perhaps i should have thought that through a bit bettter.
okay it must be a germanic word: they love strongman so a weightlifting discipline?

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

norwegian is germanic though. (only estonian and sometimes finnish fall under ugric) anyway, aside from that burst of pedantry i'm still none the wiser. erm lacrosse?

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...
