My son introduced me to sport stacking last fall. It's a P.E. activity at his elementary school. Little did I know that sport stacking has reached the level of popularity that the best compete in a world championship. That event occurred last week in Denver, Colorado which hosted the World Sport Stacking Championships.
Here's a report from the Wall Street Journal. Thanks WSJ.com
Eleven-year-old Steven Purugganan from Massachusetts is the Tiger Woods of sport stacking. Purugganan broke his own world record in the 3-6-3 with a "stacktacular" time of 2.15 seconds. Purugganan didn't stop there, he had the fastest times in sport stacking's triple crown, 3-3-3, 3-6-3 and Cycle. That earned Purugganan the overall trophy.
“As sport stacking gains momentum around the world, the
competition climbs to higher and higher levels." World Sport Stacking Association Director Mark Lingle said. "This was our 7th annual world championships and it definitely was our fastest yet!”
Those of us at the OSG HQ are amazed how fast these kids stack. We see Olympic potential with this.
