Doesn't make it any more valid than table tennis or diving or sport climbing, the US just dominates in the 2 areas with the most amount of golds available.

Interesting cause I was wondering why this doesn't happen in 3x3 basketball, but I was reading you have to actually play in 3x3 events and get points to be in the Olympics, so that's why they can't just throw LeBron into a game. Surprsied this isn't the case for flag football.

I dunno, she's slightly older than me, but I'd still hit.

Strongman over time developed into a pretty polished and competitive international sport featuring events than are pretty standardized and entertaining.

It's like comparing the pole vault to the decathlon.

They test different things. Weightlifting tests Power, Strongman tests strength

(Powerlifting is the worst named sport in the world. Should swap with Weightlifting)

Is this a thing that people were asking for? He still can't beat DK Metcalf.

It looks like 400 people showed up for this. I know Duplantis is all about the media, but wtf. Good time, though.

I actually think they did it at a Zurich meeting? Either way, it was streamed and I’m sure they made a few bucks out of it - can’t imagine there were many Scandy track fans who didn’t watch
