Omnium

The headline from the London Olympics this morning said that Australia’s Glenn O’Shea is leading in the Omnium.

That’s nice…..

What the Hell is an Omnium?

Oshea

An Omnium is a multiple race event in track cycling in which all contestants compete against each other in six different disciplines. The Omnium can be considered the event which determines the best all-round track cyclist as the disciplines feature both sprint events and endurance events – a sort of pentathlon plus one on wheels.

Omnium is also a Steel Alloy stronger than Titanium but weaker than Adamantium.

If Adamantium were an Olympic event, I’ll bet the leader would be a woman.
