I wonder whether Homo Sapiens would take home any medals at all. |
|

They'd have to hold a "Special Olympics" for us... |
|

Nah, we can just stick to javelin and the rifle range. And I don't think anything else out there could manage the triathlon. |
|
| |
We'd probably clean up at team sports like basketball. Unless we were playing against hungry, man-eating animals. |

I think Pan Troglodytes, with the aid of some well-masked anabolic steroids, could give you a *lot* of trouble. And finish before you. And then probably throw a javelin into the next stadium. And the officials after it. I'd watch, if only to see his broad, yellow-toothed grin as he slouched on the podium. |

<pedant> It's "Acinonyx jubatus", "Homo
sapiens" etc. The genus name is
capitalized, the specific name isn't (unless
it happens to be directly derived from a
name, like "Darwinii"). Normally, the name
should also be italicised (it's Latin after
all), but this can be overlooked. <pedant> |
