I will say I was impressed by the guy that won indoor and outdoor at NCAA

You speak the truth.

There’s some truth to this. Gotta have a place to put the guys who aren’t good

I need to google what a Decathalon is.

About 40 years too soon. This lady would have been good at all events

Yeah but that was never quite the same when Wheaties removed the nuts.

8/4/21 6:57pm

Are we sure they were removed or just hidden 🤔

Hmm, I wonder why one can't be elite at both the shotput and the mile?

SweetBabyG

8/4/21 6:57pm

Decathlete ran a 10.12 100M. That’s insane! You are crazy.

The same guy might have medaled in the long jump

Indy Coug

8/4/21 7:21pm

Yeah I they said he’d have been bronze? Pretty crazy!

The Pope

Warner would have taken bronze in the long jump

Archaea

Warner is one of the “few exceptions” I noted above

TrackCoug

8/4/21 7:35pm

But he and others are elite in their ability to do them all very well in 2 days.

The Pope

8/4/21 7:37pm

But it’s so boring to watch

TrackCoug

8/4/21 7:47pm

I agree, most tv broadcasts don’t do it justice. But I think the combination

The Pope

Usain Bolt isn't even elite at the 400.

SweetBabyG

8/4/21 7:48pm

Track is so specialized, no track of all trades can be elite in diverse

It’s the ultimate Olympic sport

CougarCanuck76

8/4/21 7:05pm

How?

TrackCoug

8/4/21 7:09pm

The winner is known as “the Worlds Greatest Athlete”

CougarCanuck76

8/4/21 7:17pm

Because you have to be the best all around athlete. That's more impressive

FieroCoug

8/4/21 7:46pm

I disagree

TrackCoug

8/4/21 8:05pm

Triathlon is. Three distinct sports and they’re masters at all of them.

Chasicle

8/4/21 7:13pm

Three cardio/endurance sports that focus on different muscle groups. Those folks

SweetBabyG

8/4/21 7:54pm

Not even close

redraider88

8/4/21 8:53pm

They run a sub-30 minute 10k after the swim and the bike, so yeah, they do that.

Chasicle

8/4/21 9:41pm

Even though I disagreed with you above, I do agree they are fantastic endurance

SweetBabyG

8/4/21 11:24pm

In three unique and completely different sports. Not just ok at them.

Chasicle

8/4/21 11:40pm

Mastering a whole set of skills arguably makes them a better athlete.

Yiowa

8/4/21 7:15pm

Not at all, especially this year. Those guys are insane athletes, they

The Pope

8/4/21 7:17pm

what you are complaining about is the whole point of the event. they're the Taysom Hills of the Olympics

byujag

8/4/21 8:30pm

Let’s look at the numbers

TrackCoug

8/4/21 8:56pm

You can say the same about almost all athletes

redraider88

8/4/21 9:04pm

you disagree that's fine, but the rest of the sports world calls them the best over-all athletes in the world

byujag

8/4/21 9:06pm

Then maybe we need to re-score the event.
