Jasmin Paris - greatest sporting performance of the year?

[gcleminson]

What an achievement. Fascinating (and brutal) event too, some of the requirements are “interesting” shall we say!!!

If you find yourself with a spare hour and a half there’s a documentary made a few years back called ‘The race that eats its young’ that’s well worth a watch. On Netflix I believe? Lots of quirks to the race, even down to the entry process which is a closely guarded secret, and every year ‘Laz’ will allow one entrant to take part who he thinks has absolutely no chance who’s known as the Sacrifice. Sounds gimmicky, and it is, but there’s no doubting it’s a race that’s on the very bounds of what’s humanly achievable within the time allowed.
