With all the excitement the Olympics have brought, I thought it would be fun to take a look at how some of the Red Wings would fare as Summer Olympians. The emphasis here is on “fun” as these are not meant to be realistic transitions as I think that is unfair considering the amount of skill and time spent perfecting those skills that Olympians take.
Hurdles
The hurdles require an athlete to combine outstanding speed while jumping 42 inch hurdles without slowing down. Olympic athletes have the ability to make those jumps seem effortless but I assure you as someone who is 5’8”, a 42 inch jump is no easy feat.
