The Olympic Crux…
Even before the 2016 Olympics there was grumbling that the games had strayed too far from its ancient roots. Except for shotput, discus, javelin, and perhaps wrestling and some running events most sports have nothing to do with the ancient games. Ideas were floated such as doing all games done naked but the American TV networks were squeamish about trying to get the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to even allow them to broadcast the games. After much discussion it was decided to try an experimental game during the 2024 games. The ‘sport’ would be women’s crucifixion.
It was chosen because no one really believed any woman would agree to participate or would the sponsors or networks agree to touch the sport. But after Los Angeles was chosen for the 2024 Games and Racing Rodent Video Productions and the Crux Chronicle agreed to cover and underwrite sport. As a web-based and satellite/cable video company RR Video is not constrained by the American FCC. And once it was announced that the women’s crucifixion would be held in the LA Coliseum applications flooded in!
The initial rules were:

The initial rules were:
- All participants must submit to a DNA test that verifies they are genetically female
- No participant may have been (on this thread) previously nailed to a cross.
- Timing begins when the cross is raised.
- All participants must carry her cross twice around the 400 meter track, up the dirt and stone ramp that would cover the steps leading up to the east arches at the top of the stadium bowl then back to down to mid-field to be crucified.
- Any participant taking longer than one hour to complete the cross-carry would be crucified for three hours. Those under the hour limit could capitulate any time after one hour.
- From the time the participant accepts her cross no food can be provided and water not be provided from the time the participant accepts her cross until three hours after her cross is raised. At that time and every three hours after a liter of water may be provided but the athlete has fifteen minutes to consume what she can before the water is withdrawn.
- Athletes must be of legal age four years and one day before the start of the event to apply for the team. There are no upper age restrictions.
- Bronze, Silver, and Gold Medals are awarded to the third, second, and last to capitulate. Death while crucified is a disqualification. All stand IOC drug and substance tests apply.
