Yep.
I'll add the Javelin throwing and quarterstaff- fight to the list. If we want to, we could make the dueling more of entertainment for the rest of the camp while two experienced fighters battle it out. Several characters that come to mind are Thornden, Eodwine, Crabannan, and possibly Nain.

It was said that any Comanche (that's an American Indian to all you Europeans
) worth his salt could throw a spear 75yds and kill his foe. A very remarkable feat considering their retarded skills with weapon making. I'd say that we could even stretch the distance a bit when it comes to the Rohirric people.
For the women's games we could include archery and maybe horseback riding; the knife throwing was an excellent idea!
Nogrod, you mentioned throwing pebbles, we could do the classic "throw a stone and knock down some cans" trick with them.
It combines accuracy and a certain amount of strength for the ladies. Also, the ladies would fit in really well with the riddles and singing that will happen later that night.
I still need to have a list of all the games that everyone will be doing. I'll just go ahead and put Erbrand's name next to the sports that he'll be doing. We still have a little time before the games begin, because of Eodwine and Saryen.
Archery Erbrand
Horse Racing Erbrand
Racing on foot Erbrand
Stone Throwing Large stones for the men to throw, and smaller stones for the ladies to knock things down with (if we want to do that).
Wrestling
Dueling ?
Quarterstaff-fight Erbrand
Javelin Throwing Erbrand
Riddles
