All them damn stalliond. Giddyup.
 
The Olympics at one time was used to determine who the greatest athlete was. Which event best epitomizes that?

The Decathlon

100 meter race

Long jump

Shotput throw

high jump

400 meter race

110 hurdles

Discus throw

Pole vault

Javelin throw

1500 meter race

or

The Triathlon

1.5 km Swim

40 km Bike

10 km Run

The Decathlon requires more different skills, but each of the individual events of the Triathlon is probably more grueling than the entire Decathlon. Also, you have to do all three events back to back, whereas the Decathlon does have quite a bit of waiting during some events and is split across two days.

Imo The Decathlon is more about being athletic. The Triathlon is about having more endurance. So if you are gonna be the worlds greatest athlete you should be athletic. I'm choosing the Decathlon.

Those decathlon athletes aren't the best at any of the 10 events they compete in. They wouldn't medal if they competed in any one event, individually, against the best in the world.

But they are very good at all 10 events and they have the endurance to complete all of them in a short period of time. Shit's grueling.
