My better half has suggested:

Tug of War
The Beer Card

I don't work for BBO and any advice is based on my BBO experience over the decades

If Backstroke is going backwards, then so is diving. If then you say that is going forwards, then in the sport of cliff-diving they go in feet first - so one of them must be forwards and the other backwards... :(

Actually this is complete twaddle since by logical extension one of Luge and Skeleton must be backwards and that is clearly nonsense.
