My Olympic Dream
The Olympics test the best in their respective sports. I want to take the question, "Who is the best at sport ___?" to the next level. Who is the best athlete in the world?
Track enthusiasts call decathletes the best athletes on Earth. Track and field is officially known as Athletics after all. Its 10 events test running, jumping, and throwing, the basics of athletics: speed, strength, and agility.
My dream to is to ramp it up. I want to see at the Summer Games a pan-sport competition. Every day a new sport for the participants. For example, the athletes could start with biking. The next day they swim. The next day they run. Follow that up with a wrestling tournament, rowing, fencing, archery, tennis, gymnastics, weightlifting, and more. We can throw in some winter sports for good measure.
The sports and their order are irrelevant. But the winner of this tournament could truly claim the mantle World's Greatest Athlete.

5 Pic Friday: Olympic Edition
Congratulations Rio de Janeiro, which will host the Olympics in 2016. But...
Where will they hold beach volleyball?
Or sailing?
Will the locals accept soccer?
One thing is clear, they have buildings.
These guys should make a buddy comedy. That's the Brazilian president greeting Obama. You lost Barack, but at least the IOC was ready for change.
