As for the leaping boar, you do realize that Athena has both tough defences(the snakes would probably shield her) and flight, right? As for the kusanagi sword with the horse, Athena could probably still block it with her shield. It would just be a flaming sword. Not to mention, Godou's 'swordsmanship'(if you would even call it that) isn't exactly one of the best.
There's a bit of a difference between playing a harmless sport and fighting a duel to the death which you're currently losing. It's true though that Godou was fighting a losing battle and his remaining options had little chance of succeeding, especially considering Athena was familiar with most of his powers. Using the grail was an obvious act of desperation but when the choices become "Cheat or Die", the correct decision was obvious to make.
