Originally manifested in Ancient Greece at the stadium in Olympia (really just a pile of dirt) famously included a chariot race and the killing of a serpent..they were as much a religious ceremony as an athletic one…in modern times we can now flick through the oddly organized peacock streaming and see a giant Georgian man lift 500 pounds over his head and a nimble Japanese kayaker avoid flags…today we look a little deeper at a sometimes strange and often maligned competition that is still pretty fun to watch
