I’ve always like the idea that the Olympic events should have one “normal” person do them, at least for ones where that is plausible and makes sense (like racing events, maybe not stuff like the giant slalom or the ski jump)

Like, if you had a 9th swim lane and put a guy who swims 3 days a week in there for fitness, I guarantee he’d get completely smashed in a way that would really illustrate how much faster the Olympians are.

You’d have to pay that poor bastard though, most people won’t want to look a fool on live tv for nothing.

I’ll do it for free if all expenses are paid for me to go to the Olympics. I look like a fool every day, one more day won’t make a difference.

Well, you convinced me, sign me up! I wonder if they’ll let me eat cheeseburgers during the 100 meter sprint?

Did you mispell your name? This is clearly a malicious black ajah proposal.

I like the nuance of not having a total noob, but instead a amatausiast!
