There is a "game" in which you use small plastic "sticks" to move other plastic sticks-dunno the english name. I would put it into London's 2012 so that Jimbuna could boast more about GB medals.

Last time i checked, chess still held its own olympics, since the 20s, until today. they do so every two years, if i remember correctly. It is considered to be the most important chess team championship indeed.
There is also a new sports called chess-boxing (non-olympic). they box one round, then sit down for 5 minutes or so to play chess, then box a new round, and so forth.
