watching some of them run a 1500 is funny

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.

WJCougar

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

Belboz

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

m0resn0w

8/4/21 6:57pm

Are we sure they were removed or just hidden 🤔

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

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.

Iman23

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

8/4/21 7:55pm

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

Archaea

8/5/21 11:18am

Jack of all trades, master of none, though

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

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.
