2024 Summer Olympics (Stuy Version)

In the aftermath of the 2024 Summer Olympics and lingering athletic spirit in the air, Stuyvesant students pitch a new Olympic sport that they would place a gold medal in. Right now, the “sport” with the most competition appears to be sleeping, but there are many other creative activities that students believe they’re the best at, from being delusional to yapping.
