The Grudgeathlon

It's a battle of strength, endurance, courage, guile, intelligence and drunken pride. Well, it's really only about drunken pride. Two competitors, the finest physical and intellectual specimens their respective nations have produced will battle it out over a series of 10 events.

Tomas "I will destroy you" Bek, the pride of the Czech republic will take on the champion of the antipodes, Australia's own Ben "ASBO" Clancy in no holds barred sporting extravaganza of Himalayan proportions.

The winner of this, the most difficult 10 events not included on the Olympic Games roster, will claim the ultimate prize in sports. No mere piece of silverware, a zillion dollar purse or the hand of the prettiest maiden in the land is worthy to be the prize of this titanic sporting tussle. (though let's face it, both lads wouldn't know silver from 304 grade stainless steel, a zillion Zimbabwe dollars is only worth £.0.50, and we're unlikely to find a maiden dopey enough to go for it anyway)

The prize, the Auld Mug of the Grudgethlon, is a keg of beer of the winners choice. Considering the origins of this event, no prize could be more apt.
