BlackRock sees your piddling food eating contests and raises you a real challenge.
The contender: BlackRock portfolio manager
The event: Long jump, on the trading floor
The details: "The guy jumped 25 feet in college; market is biased at him going 15 feet and shorter. $2,000 pool so far. Larry Fink has $50 on the guy crossing 15 feet. Jump is at 3PM."
While sadly there are no special uniforms involved (the guy is wearing "work clothes and sneakers") and no sand pit, this is still nevertheless tremendously exciting. But first up, men's freestyle wrestling. We'll be back after this. Stay tuned.
Update: Cleared at 16 and change.
