“the pace begins at an easy 7 min. 30 sec. a mile, a clocking any dedicated runner could manage. At the U.S. Olympic training center’s performance lab in Colorado Springs, athletes hop on a treadmill — or a stationary bike if they’re cyclists — wired to instruments to measure their performance. Gradually, the pace quickens until the athlete can no longer bear it and hits the red stop button, exhausted.
The physiologists work on four measurable components of fitness: VO2 max, lactate threshold, economy of motion and maximum sustained output.”
The debate on whether or not bodybuilding ought to be a sporting event during the Olympics rages on.

They wonder why the same case should not apply in the case of bodybuilding. To these ardent fans, bodybuilding seems to perfectly fit in with the Olympics.
