Should have gone for a Shoryuken finishing move instead of the olympian "victory!" raised arms though. meh.

You damn dirty Olympian-Swimmer racist!

I love how that pilot sprints in like a 100m Olympian, finally gets the guy on the floor, at which point a fat cop jumps out of his car, waddles over at full speed and puts the boot in!

For me, the interesting question is "does this kind of training actually benefit an athlete?"

I'm obviously not an olympian or a coach, but I'm not sure it does.

As a one-off team building exercise, maybe, but on a regular basis, I doubt that it would be more effective than "normal" training. Basically, if this was actually beneficial to an athletes performance, people would be doing it.

So, which olympians do you think would be best at this? Rowers are brutally fit, as are the cyclists. Decathletes?

Your video, How SEALS training tests even Olympians, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

This achievement has earned you your "Pop Star" Level 27 Badge!

You're right, I assumed (bad newt), but I must say that now that I have googled it, I'm 100% correct, there WAS only ONE vegan Olympian listed, Murray Rose, a swimmer from the 50's. (I must say that's the earliest I've ever heard of a vegan existing and calling themselves 'vegan', apparently the word began in 44).
All the others mentioned are not vegan, they are vegetarian....and I was talking about TODAY's Olympians, who are head and shoulders above 1950's athletes. Today's swimmers eat over 7000 calories a day, almost impossible as a vegetarian, and even harder as a vegan. Vegetarians aren't the same as vegans.

The only recent top notch (but still not Olympic) athlete listed was Rhonda Rousey, who had to give up on veganism to train for fights.

So my statement stands you WILL never see a vegan Olympic athlete (not you HAVE never seen one), because the level of training and competition in today's Olympics makes it near impossible, at least in active sports as I indicated originally (and in fact, vegans don't seem to be represented in the less active sports either).

Ah, this video would have been nice twenty years ago when I had a week long nerd argument with someone about the nature of wizards. I insisted they were like the Olympians and were basically the demi-gods of Middle Earth while my opponent was convinced they were men, citing Gandalf's apparent focus on men and hobbits. I had to trawl through a bunch of JRR and Christopher's material to win that argument - a 4 minute video may have saved me some stress!

Like JRR, I haven't been able to finish the Silmarillion (managed the first two parts only), though I did enjoy The Music of the Ainur as one of the coolest creation stories I've come across.

Check how much makeup she's wearing in the film compared to in this video. That and she probably had super low body fat for the film, humans can't be that skinny long term, it's unhealthy. Even Olympians "flab" up during off season!

Looks better without makeup. You need seriously good bone structure to pull off the sexy look with such short hair.

Give her the benefit of the doubt!

Sponsors have the right to pick who they want for representatives...and in this case, Greece's government was the sponsor.
Honestly, there wasn't really anything wrong with the joke, other than being stupid. But if there is a history of nasty, divisive commentary, then I can see why a government might not wish a person to be representing them in the larger world.

Yeah that's where I have a problem...a government deciding what a person can say. Freedom of speech for all, the only way to go.

How does it go? Freedom of speech is not the same as freedom from the consequences.

Nobody is threatening to put her in jail...she's quite free to spout as many nasty attacks as she wants. But nobody has a "right" to be a country's representative. Losing that position is a consequence of her free speech, not a violation of it.

And for no greater purpose than the government's coming obesity program: MOVE...OR DIE.

Someday one of these will be running after you. It will be mounted with a gun and such and controlled by a drone by a guy sitting in a air condition room 5000 miles away and will be home for dinner. You on the other hand will be dead.
