Nowhere: I am too bad for an amateur to compare myself with athletes at this level. Not to mention the pros at the olympics.

Technically I think all the Olympics athletes are "amateur" athletes rather than "professional" athletes because there is some clause or something for eligibility requiring they not get paid for their sporting activity or something? But that is maybe just semantics xD

I think I could contest a medal in Olympic sitting, but that isn't a sport yet :wink:

edit: loafing and lounging! that's what I'd medal in :biggrin:

Some sports at the olympics have pros (football, tennis and golf for instance), some don't. That is what is annoying me all the time. The olympics as a competition for the best and rising amateurs on the road to the professional makes more sense than to let the (experienced) professionals play.

sleeping

supping

I can do a cartwheel, so technically that makes me a gymnast, right?

Foosball.

It's not an Olympic sport but it should be.

Here's a YouTube video from the 2019 World Foosball Championships.
