"The opening event is the Track’athlon, a brand new athletics assault course that features a sled run, shot put toss, standing long jump, water jump and a medicine ball run for men in lap 1 and the same minus the medicine ball run – but plus a parachute run – for women in lap 2"

Yep, that made me curious

 

Not curious as in "This sounds like a great event to bring athletics to a higher event", but curious as in "I really need to see what the hell this is".

Time for the Dis'cus throw, too bad the Netherlands only has one athlete in the entire athletics competition (in the women's Dis'cus).

I am aware of that. It's not new for me (this concept), but I haven't seen it in action yet.

Discus throw from standing position instead of a turn or something
