Who remembered that a guy from Brooklyn took the bronze at Sydney? Not me, that’s for sure.


In honor of Today’s Winner, I have tried to come up with events for an Urban Decathlon.


Here’s what I came up with:


bridge cycling

java line

tenement grocery walkup

turnstile hurdle

high jump

100 parking meters

puddle vault

whiskey shot put

Please drop a note in the suggestion box if you come up with any better.

    friend's apartment buzzer- since no one seems to leave their cellphones on and buzzers don't work, this is more challenging than it seems.

    subway logistics- mapping out from somewhere say in the UWS to Bed Stuy or Crown Heights to Roosevelt Ave, with bonus pts for anticipating trackwork changes or using the S.
