Aaron competes without cybernetics, drugs [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking or even]] [[DoesNotLikeShoes shoes]]. He doesn't actually win any races, but does respectably enough given what he's up against. Cue death threats from an entire of city who believe him to be undermining the spirit of competition and the Meg's [[BigFatFuture health trends]].

This is also TruthInTelevision, because many sufficiently motivated groups have gotten their sports and games included in the Olympics and are now considered a normal part of the competition. See the Real Life section below for examples such as contract bridge and sculpture, which were past competitions or seriously considered competitions.

* ''VideoGame/MarioAndSonicAtTheOlympicGames'' for the most part play around with this, as most of the olympic events resemble their real life counterparts with all the rules.
