Japanese Split Racing
Step 1: get into a split position.
We'll get back to you once you've accomplished that task.
Now, step 2: move to the finish line 10 meters away before anyone else does.
Kazumi Kawahara, who I think is the victor in the contest above, is also the Guinness World Record holder for the fastest 10-meter split mover. She completed it in 16.90 seconds and, as you can see in the video, does so with a bold swagger.
I'd like to think that in a better future, international disputes would be settled through split contests like this one.
