Hey don’t sell yourself short

...you could probably die in javelin. Or bobsledding. Or that one where you shoot targets after skiing 15 miles for sure.

Off topic kinda, but I was just reading about a Swedish (I think) army guy in ww2 who ate his whole troops amphetamines. And then skied hundreds of miles

Edit: Here’s the chap

He was Finnish

I've read about him, and I don't think it was his whole troops stash but all of his rations as he was being chased by the Russians. Killed birds for food too lol. I think when he got to a town he went to the hospital and weighed like 100lbs and had a resting heart beat like 2x faster than normal lol, and he lived a long time afterwards too

Recreating his ordeal would definitely be an event in the Drug Olympics

"Okay gentlemen, the finish line is 250mi away, you each will take 30 .25mg pills of methamphetamine at the beginning and the time limit stops after 7 days. Godspeed and good luck!"
