I watch it at the world games and it’s not as great as in my mind. They have weight categories (think their teams are 700kg which is quite ordinary) and mixed teams (male and female)…whereas I want super hulks (male and female) generating some huge forces. I’m thinking melon biceps, torn up fields and proper torque.
Maybe a lightweight team (sub 700) and then a heavyweight (whatever you have!), keep it male and female events too will work
Wow this used to be in the olys? Never knew. What are some other sports that no longer exist in the modern day games?
And the 300lb+ 4x100m
Yeah but let’s update it to “Hip-hop Tug’o’War” or “Breakin Tug”
Yes! I think powerlifting should be on the table too, just to bring in more of the super athletic huge dudes.
absolutely! the strongest people of each country! it was always the highlight of the battle of the network stars
I’m thinking the big 15s rugby nations may have this sown up between them. A couple of weeks of coaching International fringe squad players would give NZ, South Africa, France, GB, Fiji and Ireland teams of immovable objects.
If anyone needs any convincing [here’s a 4 minute tug of war clip where a kid goes through 5 seasons of sports anime character development ](https://youtu.be/9e7vPhEVYPs). Probably the most epic thing you’ll watch today.
no. but bring back chariots!
Exactly how they did it on squid game also
We never lossed it in Scotland! Come to a highland games
no lol. we can’t keep adding sports cause the space in village is finite, so we have to cut on existing sports (which is already happened so much)
Hell yeah
Yes, and make the athletes competing in it exempt from drug testing

Lol I’m all for it
But all teams have to be made up of existing Olympians competing in other sports!
Cool to watch? Sure!
