Can't help but laugh at your appalling analogy.
Dunno but once you're off the podium who gives a ****? And you're more likely to be remembered as "guy who shared gold" than "single winner of random event no one watches"
Could have 2 pits alongside eachother, one for somersaults with a matt and another with sand.
How would you measure the landing distance on the mat though.
Put javelins in the heels of their shoes and get them jumping into the grassed area.
I'm sure modern technology would find a way
Don't think athletics would have the kinda money to put that type of technology into use at all levels even if it existed.
Do you know what a backflip is?
Gonna be honest and maybe this is just the American in me which can't accept anything more than excellence, unlike the rest of you low T European / Oceania countries (
), but for me if you're sharing a gold you know you haven't actually "won" gold, you've decided to split the pot. It's clearly not the same high in the moment, regardless of what material the actual medal is, and what you tell yourself and the misses before going to bed each night.
iirc the Golds are made of Silver anywayGonna be honest and maybe this is just the American in me which can't accept anything more than excellence, unlike the rest of you low T European / Oceania countries (
Plated with gold, which about doubles the value. But yeah, shocking nonetheless.
Absolute **** take.
I'm fact the event should be required in these situations to saw the gold medal in half. Also place a pretty pink bow on each half, with the message "Isn't sharing fun?"
That is the case (thankfully).
FYI the medal sharing and subsequent silver medal thing has nothing to do modern participation medal culture etc.
Why let facts get in the way of an idiotic rant?
