Athletic Cubers

[brododragon]

I still can't tell what makes baseball players belive that lacrosse players are inferior athletes to them. Good job, you swung a small piece of wood and ran about 30 yards. Now let me be the inferior athlete by guarding an extremely fast attackman and trying to keep him in front of my while simultaneously using my 6-foot metal rod to hit him and his stick all while using immaculate footwork for an hour. I don't want to offend any baseball players that respect other sports, but if you are one of those guys that craps on everything else that happens to be in the spring then re-evaluate your life choices and think about doing a sport that requires more than a 30-yard dash after a 4-minute period of close to nothing.

I was just referencing how someone said ping pong has fast reaction times so it's a sport. But yeah.

*Popcorn sounds*
Not dissing, just sharing an opinion.

I'm pretty sure that having to have fast reaction times is not the thing holding sports back from the olympics. (cubing)

There’s a difference between competitive activities and sports. Cubing is not a sport because it requires little physical exertion, despite a fast reaction time being useful.

The definition of sport does not include physical exertion. Chess and checkers are sports. So I dunno. I mean darts is a sport and most darts players aren't exactly fit!

"an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment."

But I would say cubing qualifies for that. Try working out and then coming home and cubing; you will do significantly worse. This is because your muscles are tired. Your muscles being tired wouldn't matter if cubing didn't take some amount physical exertion

There are many different definitions, not all of them include the physical part, as chess, checkers, chinese chess, go and bridge are sports. I would also say snooker, pool, darts and so on don't really match the physical exertion qualification, but they're all sports too.

Having said that, I definitely think cubing is a sport.

You ever try to max our your deadlift then try and cube? Fingers become useless for the rest of the day after doing heavy deadlifts, trust me it sucks.

I’m here! My track season just started last week, but I was quarantined for a big chunk of it, so I’ve only been to 4 practices.

I haven't had one in almost 2 years at this point . What events do you do?

I'm staring soccer again and I'm looking to get into disc golf this year. I also just cleaned and lubed my bike for mountain biking hopefully soon.

I do the 100, 200, and high jump. Sometimes, I’ll do the 4x1 or 4x2 as well. How about you?

200, 400, Long Jump, sometimes 800. Hate relay because I have to carry and my teammates don't care at all. My team was at the finals in the 4x100 at city championships, which doesn't sound like a big meet but where I live there are 3 million people, so it's not a small meet, and two of my teammates were eating McDonald's an hour before we ran. Won't be running it high school most likely.

 

[EngiNerdBrian]

sometimes 800.

Torture. This distance is absolute torture.

Why do you think I put sometimes lol. 400 is my strong suit and 800 is just too slow for me. I don't like long races.

 

[gruuby]

And then there is me who runs 3200, 5K, and 10K lol.

My soccer season starts on Sunday, the same day that the second day of a cubing comp that I'm going to is. Just hoping my events will be at the right times so I can fit both activities in.
