This is what it used to be like not so long ago. The 1928 weightlifting champion was a butcher.

I’m not sure it’d be “much more” entertaining. I think watching arguably the greatest athletes in the world compete in their specialty is a great spectacle and I find it odd that they are implying it’s boring, but it would certainly be a lot fun to watch regardless (aside from the ridicule that sadly would occur)

It would be garbage to watch random people do these events. The only entertainment would be watching people like me almost kill themselves pole vaulting or something.

I could see it being a whole thing where they crash course in a sport for 3-6mo or something then just get out there and play.
