  • I love myself a lot.
I am sick of seeing some skinny bugger or other win lots of wakky lil event.
THe olympics needs more event that feature a need for both power and speed not just one or the other.
In my mind a real athete is like a hero: both stronger and faster not just a lame specialist.
I mean it doesn't have to be american gladiators but current olympics suck and bore shit outa me.

why don't you start your own olympics?  You could wrestle hairy "bears" and practice short pier sprints, cliff dives etc.?

thats the idea

ppl talk about baseball n sauc imagine football something where those sbstncbeneift can be fully exploitd bc of demands of game..

anyone remeber xfl now... i remebber when that 1st started and minus a lil over the top at parts, it was gr8, everythiung about it....  they didnt have no fair catch either,, and def no protect qb...
funny that the float cam ovrfield was adopted by nfl that following yr and still used today.

back to op,, strongman events while maybe strtn to get popular they prob dont do vry well , or on late what ev...
strength sports are similar to bb'n cultlike...

not mainstrean pop bc not easy and most ppl cant hang and dont want it in their face maybe...
anyone?
