Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 4683846, member: 7511"] I too loved this story and was amazed that Boumkwo made it over all the hurdles unscathed. The story brought back fond memories. Back in HS, I competed in track & field in the shot put & discus. The last event of every meet was usually the 4x400 relay. On rare occasions, when the outcome of a dual meet was no longer in doubt, the coaches might just agree to hold a “weightmen’s relay” with 4 fairly large people lumbering around the track, huffing & puffing, while doggedly attempting to matriculate the baton around the track. The relay was hardly a thing of beauty. But it usually generated a lot of enthusiasm from both teams. However, I do shudder to think what might have happened if one of us weight men had been asked to compete in the hurdles. :eek: [/QUOTE]
