I had a GOOD idea to decide who the true olympic champion is - why not build a massive cage and put all the athletes in it and only allow one person to leave.
Better yet, why not leave them in there to breed and then in a few decades we would have a super race.
But you are thinking outside the box. That is good!
Originally posted by TyrannosauruschexI think the outcome of the competition would greatly depend on where you put the cage. For example, if the cage was placed in the middle of the ocean a swimmer might do better, but if it was on a tree hanging off a cliff gymnastic skills might be useful. I think there are many other variables that ought to be discussed. It is an important issue and I would gladly welcome the suggestions of anyone with better insights or experience in caging people.

Perhaps some sort of prison guard might offer some insight.
I guess equipment would be another factor - for example an olympic sprinter woulndt have much of a chance against an olympic shooter.
It would be interesting to see who came out on top if the field competitors had a duel of hammer, discuss, javelin and shot putt with 10 paces each before throwing.
