THE REAL-LIFE VERSION OF THE DICTATORWhat happened a couple of years ago at the Tohopekaliga Tiger Invitational in Kissimmee, Florida, seems like something straight out of a Sacha Baron Cohen comedy. During a high school race, one competitor decided that rules didn’t apply to him and, instead of overtaking his rival with effort, opted for the quick route: a surprise punch.
Apparently, this runner wasn’t even officially part of the race, but he decided it was the perfect time to recreate that epic scene from "The Dictator," where the protagonist, gun in hand, ensures there’s no competition left on the track.

SHORT TRACK SPEED SKATING RACEIn the Paris 2024 Olympics, a Chinese skater left everyone stunned with a completely unexpected strategy. Instead of following the usual pattern of starting the race at a slow and strategic pace, she stayed at the back of the group from the very beginning. However, before even completing half a lap, she started sprinting as if being chased by a pack of wolves.
The rest of the competitors, surprised and confused, didn’t follow her immediately, remaining stuck in their initial strategy. Meanwhile, the Chinese skater completed an entire lap and positioned herself behind the last skater, leading by a full lap.
When the group decided to sprint in the final laps, the Chinese skater simply kept pace with them, without needing to exert herself further.
