    What events do you reckon an average Joe would crush? I’m struggling to think of one.

      curling is the only thing i can think of. Maybe a luge but thats just because the extra weight gives him an advantage.

        Nah an average man would suck ass at curling. Believe me I have a girl friend who does curling semi professionally and invited us to come try a couple times. It’s way harder than it looks and if you never tried it before you will not get a single stone inside the circle. The amount of control needed for that is not something an average person has.

          Inertia is a loooong process, you’re right that’s why dudes just fire 100 mph pucks at each other

          Shout out to the US women’s hockey team though, they’re crushing it

          Yeah pushing the stone is not an issue since you do it with your legs. Your hands don’t really do much apart from giving the stone a bit of spin if you need it.
