Here at the Bugle, the Olympic fun doesn’t stop just because the events in China came to a close!
The Bugle staff wants to know: Which Olympic events are the best preparation for the coming collapse of civilisation as we know it?
We’ve given you a few choices regarding the end of days, but what we really to see is your own ideas in the comments. Write a comment with the name of the event and the reason why that event’s greatest athletes will survive the post-apocalyptic wastelands. We’ll add it to the polls and you might just win the Post-Apocalyptic Prize*!
* Prize not warrantied in the case of Snowball Earth or Exotic Physics in Switzerland. Prize may not be available during (or after) A Zombie Apocalypse. The Bugle Empire and its subsidiaries provide an “as-is” Prize and therefore admit no warranty of the Prize for a particular purpose, including the prize-winner’s (or the prize-winner’s progeny’s) survival of a supervolcano.
By accepting a prize, prizes, from a Bugle entity, you agree to release and hold harmless Bugle Inc., and its distributors from any liability, and/or any mutated bacteria, ancient latent viruses, or species-jumping prions either directly or indirectly arising from or resulting from the use or misuse of the Prize.

My vote goes to the Modern Pentathalon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_pentathlon). Athletes proficient in all five disciplines will do great in a post-apocolyptic world. They are deadly with blade and pistol; can run and swim fast; and ride like the wind. All hail the Modern Pentathaletes!

Since we all know any post-apocolypical world would resemble Mad Max, I believe that archers, javelin throwers, and fencers would have the best chance to survive. You need to be able to hunt and get some meat!
