The tourist slalom, definitely.
It's kind of like the Giant Slalom (okay I know that's Winter Olympics but work with me here) but it's not downhill. And it's not very fun either.
Anyone who's ever got onto the Southbound Piccadilly Line platform at Holborn and has tried to jostle through the throng of tourists who inexplicably cluster round the platform entrance knows exactly what I mean. 
Could they bring back that skiing down Angel escalator sport?
The 'running the escalator as you hear a train approaching' event?
Hurdles?

Jon that hurdles image rox Have updated the main post with it.
Ta muchly 
Brompton Racing seems to already be a popular sport. Whether we could get it into the Olympics - who knows
sorry should have added a link

We should all be on the Olympics Committee - Brompton Racing should so deffo be a part of 2012 - love the link
John F - Tourist Slalom yep with extra points for knocking people out of the way if they stand on the left of escalators
Although if we had Joe_90's escalator ski-ing they wouldn't be too much standing around on escalators anyway

We could host the Winter Olympics too. Bobsleigh anyone?

Test of stamina and endurance: the ticket office queue on a Monday morning. Winner is the last person still standing *without* throwing a hissy fit at anyone. (Tie-breaker: they also get the right amount on their Oyster card and despite the long wait still manage to be polite about it...)
The Seated Points race*? The ability to spot someone about to vacate a spot and to manouvere yourself into place in order to nab it? You need fast reflexes, nerves of steel to ignore the stares of those around you, and tactical thinking. Perhaps with a sliding scales of points, as in track cycling. So the seats are scored 5 down to 1 based on the difficulty of nabbing them on a crowded train, and you get a lap (ha!) bonus of 20 if you give it up for the elderly or pregnant?
*like the cycling Points race. Make it a tag team with the ultimate aim of getting two seats together and it becomes the Madison.
I imagine the Brazilians might be reluctant to take part in the barrier hurdling.
Tell me that I'm not the first person to think that the first pic about not holding the doors open is just a goatse in disguise?
aaw! @Tim, I think I'll slip breakfast this morning.
In an equally tasteless suggestion, what about pistol shooting on the tube? I understand the London Met has a crack team who will take out the opposition. Like the hurdling, the Brazilians might not want to participate in this event.
Tim - you're not the first person no - it was mentioned the first time I posted the picture and I also had a discussion with someone on Flickr about it
