Is the 'Iron Man' the closest thing to a Worlds Best Athlete competition?

[BonafideDefacto]

If I were to create a best athlete it would include the following:

100m dash
400m freestyle swim
Half marathon (13.1)
Javelin
Long jump
Bench press

There would have to be something there to test ur agility
Too. If the decatholon added a 200 meter mixed swim and a 5 mile bike sprint it would be the best judge. Of course now it wouldn't be called a DECAtholon anymore.

Chess Boxing

imagine Chess MMA

Instead of trying to overcome a static obstacle, you have to overcome an obstacle that adjusts to your strategy

It's more of carido endurance thing, but def. impressive.



If you join a Crossfit gym, make sure the trainers there know what the fukk they're talking about so you don't wind up doing bullshyt like this:

This. I worked with some girls who kept talking about how great it is etc and when I started talking about clean and jerk technique they gave me the Their crossfit "trainer" was having them do olympic lifts from jump without explaining shyt. Just basically telling them to lift the weight off the floor and get it to their shoulders. All I could do was smh when their response was "All I know is he's certified"

The decathlon has long been touted as producing the best athletes. That's why Bruce Jenner was known as the world's greatest athlete.

Crossfit does seem pretty interesting, when I watched the competition on ESPN I was in awe.

No, running from police

I'd say it's a tossup between pool and darts.
