Sporting Greats

[BIG H]

Jonathan Edwards is definitely an all-time great.

However, in recent years I have a problem with some of these sporting events. How many people have actually ever attempted the triple jump? Compared with running or golf or tennis - sports millions do - the triple jump can only be done by a tiny number. It's basically an athletic sport you do if you're shit at the popular ones.

Literally millions of people play snooker in this world. Is being the triple jump champ really more impressive than being a snooker champ?

I think it's pretty much for sure that more people would be able to become good snooker players rather than Tripple Jumpers

Only because less people triple jump.

It doesn't cost anything to do a short run and jump anywhere on earth. Yet only a tiny number participate in the sport.

Is being the best at something nobody does really that impressive?

(As well as being a complete an utter cunt I am drunk as fuck)

Nope, becuase only a small percentage of people have the physical make up to ever be able to do that, not matter how mcuh they train. It's not just like a long jump, to be able to expolde out of each phase is amazing to me. Bill Werbinik was able to become a world class snooker player. If I played 8 hours a days sicne I was six , Im pretty sure I could become a very good snooker player. I would NEVER be able to be a very good triple jumper
