So… Hunger games kind of thing?
Edit: but less murdery, I suppose.
why less murdery?
Right, give me a javelin and tell me that I can’t throw it into the crowd, see what I do.
that makes it exciting for the spectators too
I just laughed our loud! Hahahah thank you for that
I volunteer as tribute
And I, my Bunny Bracelet.
Come to Canada, we already have it! https://ground.news/article/olympics-for-regular-people-good-games-come-to-university-of-guelph
I’m not sure it’d be “much more” entertaining. I think watching arguably the greatest athletes in the world compete in their specialty is a great spectacle and I find it odd that they are implying it’s boring, but it would certainly be a lot fun to watch regardless (aside from the ridicule that sadly would occur)
It would be garbage to watch random people do these events. The only entertainment would be watching people like me almost kill themselves pole vaulting or something.
I could see it being a whole thing where they crash course in a sport for 3-6mo or something then just get out there and play.
Nah, 3-6 days max.
The average person is pretty out of shape, I vote a month. Give them time to get into some shape, plus it shows average people how quickly you can improve your shape and lifestyle with regular excercise
I don’t think that would be fun. They would probably be so sore just from the training that they would barely be able to compete anyway. I think it would be far more interesting to see what people can learn and build up to in a relatively short amount of time. I bet you would get some pretty amazing moments.
Dave might kill it, you don’t know!
the Not So Special Olympics hosted by Mike Judge and David Letterman
(cue Beavis and Butthead laughs)
Hah. I don’t attend meetings I am supposed to be in, good luck with this.
Smash Bros? Squid Game?
This would be one of my favorite shows.
Cut to 100 years later and you have litetal hunger games.
They pick me
Me: intentionally loses to go home early
I’ve always wanted a normal person to take part alongside the pros.
Right?? Give ya some sort of scale
In Russia the Olympics play you
That’s basically what Takeshi’s Castle is. :)
What about Olympics without drug restrictions? Like, how much can we improve on the human body?
Don’t we already kind of have this? Can’t people have done the drugs as long as they test clean at the event?
Athletes already put a lot of stress on their bodies as it is, a druglympic would end up with a lot of sick or dead people
I’ll start watching sports when there’s coked up cyborgs competing for who can stave off graft rejection for long enough to cross the finish line, thank you very much
/s but not really
SNL had a skit on that “The All-Drug Olympics”
We’ve already got the Tour de France, so that’s one sport down.
It sounds like military service with cameras 😆
