Olympic fever has gripped us all, but this video makes me wonder why this global event is such a big deal. Sure it features the world’s best and brightest stars, but they’re doing the same thing athletes have done for years. Where’s the spontaneity? Where’s the fun?

If you’re after something a little left of centre, you’ll want to see this video featuring the most bizarre races.

We’ve got men carrying wives, men racing horses, men racing jets, men chasing cheese, and so much more. Olympics Schmolympics. Who needs to watch men running around a track when bizarre races like this exist?
