Watching the 100m, similar thoughts to the swimming. Most human sports target things humans are actually pretty hopeless at. In the animal world, we’re very slow runners and swimmers. And we’re not strong. The endurance events are more a human strength. Physically though what humans excel at is dexterity - it’s their hands. Nothing in the animal kingdom could touch us for needlework. There’s an Olympic event that won’t ever happen, but would be less laughable to animals.
