Proud to announce my first holiday romance novel. It's about a 6'11" college basketball star who goes home over break, only to fall in love with a Bavarian Christmas demon. It's called "Big Man on Krampus."

All due respect to Ozempic but in my day, if you wanted to lose 20% of your body weight, you did the honorable thing and hacked your leg off.

Ledecky has lost the 800fr precisely once since 2010. That happened earlier this year to a 17 yr old Canadian, whose performance qualified as the 17th fastest ever (seven seconds slower than WR). Of the top 30 fastest ever, the other 29 are owned by Katie.

I *think* Wilt's singular talents would be as obvious to a first-timer as, say, Biles or Tiger.

FWIW I don't think it has to be a race at all. Like Wilt Chamberlain merits inclusion.

Two of the possibilities are ones that I basically experienced in your context: Mike Tyson and Wayne Gretzky. Others I'd say include Usain Bolt, Tiger Woods...Secretariat.

There's like five dudes in baseball that you could make a great case for, I think: Babe, Bonds, Unit, Rickey and MAYBE Ohtani. Tempted to include Koufax but Feller was already throwing triple-digit gas by then.

since I suspect a first-time viewer wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between gymnastic performances (or maybe that’s just me lol), I think Katie Ledecky might be even more extreme than Biles. she would win every race she entered by a huge margin and set a world record while doing it

What athlete, in their prime, would set the most unrealistic expectations for their sport if they were the first one you ever watched? It's gotta be Simone Biles, right?
