REUTERS/Christian RadnedgeLONDON - Crawling under barbed wire, carrying Atlas stones and climbing up ropes may not have been exactly what Pierre De Coubertin had in mind when he envisaged the modern Olympics, but obstacle course racing could be the next event to shake up the Games.
Many have reacted with scepticism to the changing face of the Games, but not Joe De Sena, founder of the Spartan Race, one of many obstacle course race series attracting millions of participants a year. The IOC has said any new sport to be included in the Games “must be in conformity with the Olympic Charter and implement the World Anti-Doping code.”
“Providing it stays true to its roots with different disciplines of sprint races, mid distance, and endurance races, and obstacle standardization that would keep the fine delicate balance of completion versus potential failure effort.”
