When you need 12000 calories a day just to keep from falling below 120 pounds, a couple of cokes a day isn’t going to kill you. Olympic Athletes need calories. Lots of them. Coke has those needed calories.
I do agree.
Further, IMHO:
There should be no “Olympic Sport” unless the participation in that sport requires the type of exertion that needs 12000 calories a day. No other “athletes” should EVER be allowed to compete in anything called Olympics.
Otherwise it isn’t a sport, it’s just a competition. Like bowling. Like darts. Like Curling. Like golf for that matter (almost like major league baseball if you really want to get into it). Not saying those type sports don’t take major skill—they do. But they don’t require world-class physical fitness.
I think Olympic sports should be GRUELING and ballsy (like downhill skiing, like sprinting, like marathons, like Ironman competitions, like cross-country skiing, etc), which can only be perfected by the finest physical freaks of nature, the gutsiest, the top .001% of all super-athletes worldwide.
Call the other competitions something else, just not Olympic sports.
