Except a random nose tackle most of these "fat" people can run faster than you think 1) There is a lot of room between fast and "faster than you think". My grandma can also run faster than you would think, doesn't make her fast/an athlete. 2) Not sure if i would qualify someone as an athlete who can run fast once for 2 seconds and then needs 20 minutes to recover (which luckily can be used to show a dozen commercials). American football is 90 % standing around/commercials. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

heywoodu 13,819 Posted August 25, 2023 #1408 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Can't decently follow a decathlon without a forecast obviously, so here is the one of ten7events based on everyone's decathlon PB. Not ideal, because it also counts PB's from like 6 years ago (there used to be one which counted mostly the past two years or so), but it is still a lot better than nothing to give a sense of how good certain results really are (so one can see that for example a 10.90 for Kaul would be WAY WAY better than a 10.40 for Warner): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KDPhuokybKcTLiISQ9Sq5pcIINbkUkCU/view Topicmaster1010, lea26, maestro and 1 other 3 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
