   Women's sorcery - Gold medal match pits Urd vs...  Actually, I'm kinda
   stumped here.  Any help?

Hey, don't forget Lina Inverse, folks!  (And Naga, etc.)

   Women's dogfight - Idol Defense Force Hummingbird vs. TTS 801 Airbats. 
   Actually, I don't know enough about either of these series to know how
   this one would turn out, but I figure the result would involve lots of
   singing...

What about Gall Force's Luffy or Miria (sp?) from Macross?  Perhaps
split this into air and space classes.

   Men's freestyle martial arts, superhuman class - Son Gokou versus
   Kagato.  After last year's "boo-boo", the gold medal match has been
   moved to an uninhabited island in the Pacific.

Try uninhabited, expendable planet....

   Women's unlimited combat, tag team - Team Tenchi, Ryoko, Aeka, and
   Mihoshi, take on the Priestess of Mount Muldoon.  Expect the Tenchi
   girls to win, due partly to Mihoshi's ridiculous luck, but also because
   Ryoko will fight dirty.

Hmm, why not add Magical Girls combat as a category: the girls of
Wedding Peach, Sailor Moon, Ririka, etc.

Or Magical Girls discus: defending champion Usagi vs. Momo-p.

	   Woman's Sharpshooting: After Ran, Kei, and Benten were 
   disqualified in the first round for using Bazookas, Team Tenchi's Mihoshi 
   wins the gold after hitting three targets she was not even looking at 
   (Rally Vincent is protesting the judges' decision)

While absent Mihoshi's luck Rally would almost certainly win (her
marksmanship is superhuman), the OAV Mihoshi is a damn good shot.  In
the first 6 OAVs I can't remember her missing, and her preformance
against those Easter Island style guardians in #6 was as good as you
could ask for.

She even handles her sidearm safely (!) (finger off the trigger as she
approached the fearsome pirate battleship in #4).
