Baseball: Just let the batters carry the bat around the base path when they run. If you can knock the fielder over before he tags you, you're safe.

Here's something applicable to pretty much any sport:
Allow the spectators to throw whatever they want at the athletes.

Golf. Every hole is actually a king cobra nest.

Nascar. One random jackass has to ride a tricycle.

Fishing. Uh... THIS:


Cheating on my part, perhaps. Those guys have found all sorts of ways to make normal sports absurdly dangerous.

Long jump/Triple jump:

Athletes are invited to take a running jump in to a pit of sand. Instead of a traditional straight run towards a long straight pit of sand there is instead a ring of sand surrounding a circular platform, athletes start at the centre of the platform for their run-up. The sand contains landmines in some directions and not others. Bonus points if you land in one piece.

Baseball:

Batters must pick a bat at random from a barrel, some bats are replaced with angry snakes. Pitchers must pick a ball at random too, some balls are replaced with angry snakes. If someone gets a homerun the diamond is flooded with angry snakes. For added crowd participation one in every five hotdogs is an angry snake and some bags of popcorn contain (you guessed it) E.coli.

Chess:

A pendulum swings above each players head, as their clock ticks down it descends. For every piece captured it drops by a certain amount depending on the value of the piece.

Handegg:

Take off the body armour and play for more than 10 seconds at a time. Working title 'rugby'.

Ice skating with sharks that have frickin lazer beams attached to their heads below the extra thin ice.

Soccer, replace the ball with a medicine ball, and when someone scores a goal half the field bursts into flame.

I always thought roller derby would do better played by Dark Eldar wyches on Hellion skyboards. Unfortunately wyches don't ride skyboards.

(I think that often the costumes could stay much the same, just go for moodier colours)

Landmine football (soccer for you Yanks!).

Let's see them diving on a field where the risks far outweigh the gains!
Literally word-for-word what I was going to say, only "Landmine Soccer (football for you Limies!)." :p

Since I got ninja'd, I'll go with Sulfuric Acid "Water" Skiing...one way or another, you're going in. >:D

Table Tennis: The table's edge houses circular saws along its entire perimeter.

Soccer: Kicking other players is allowed.

Swimming: You have to do the race in one breath.

Marathon: The race lasts until all less one of the runners are dead of exhaustion. No drinks supplied. You must outpace the leader's corpse for the race to end.

Hockey: Hockey sticks become essentially large machetes with a thick end for hitting the puck.

Tennis: Both players off-hand a bolt-action rifle which they may not aim until the ball is served.

Hurdling: All participants given a small weight on a chain with which to entangle or bludgeon other athletes as they go.

Football: The ball is now a porcupine.

Wood Chopping: Inside each log is a swarm of bees or wasps.

Relay: The object being relayed is a line of text, printed onto brass knuckles, which must be punched into the next participant's face to transfer the mark.

Hellions are actually part of the Wych cult.

American football without so much padding... or as most other countries call it... Football.

Also any form of swimming event just add electric eels, they might not kill you but they'll definitely encourage you to swim faster.

I thought they were, but didn't they get changed into being more or less random street gangs not affiliated with anyone?

Its been a while since I've read a codex, but checking out the GW site they use combat drugs and wear wychsuits so I think they're still wyches

Every piece of equipment is filled with Nitroglycerin. One strong hit and BOOM. There isn't a sport that wouldn't make dangerous.

Boxing: Exploding Gloves
Hockey: Exploding Sticks and Puck
Basketball: Exploding Basket and Ball
Diving: Exploding Pool

Football, give all the players spiked baseball bats, sledgehammers, and other heavy melee weapons into the game that players fight each other with. I would actually start watching football

*checks*

Oh yeah, now that you mention it, they do, only the fluff says they aren't. Personally it'd make more sense if they were, I think, but that's GW for you.

American Football: The football is loaded with high amounts of explosives that go off when a pass is fumbled.

That or:

All players have spikes on their shoulder pads and helmets, think Legion of Doom, but spikier!

Tennis:
The ball is now a live grenade/mine that explodes on a faulty serve.etc. The grenade can also explode at random timed intervals.
