Winning the Strata Olympics?

Imagine if there was a Strata Olympics.  Where every 4 years the best strata people from around the world competed in contests of skill, strength, speed and stamina to test their strata ability and see who was the best in the world.


It's worth thinking about what the strata sports might be, what it would take to win and which countries would be strongest.  I imagine events like these -
  • Speed vote tallying where the fastest at counting votes on a multi-candidate election with a poll wins
  • A long distance sinking or reserve fund race where strata executives tried to see how long they could make their funds last before the money runs out
  • Meeting notice weight lifting where competitors tried to lift increasing large (and heavy) AGM meeting notices with multiple attachments
  • Strata compliance gymnastics where owners, executives and strata managers contort themselves to fit through increasing small and complex gaps and channels without falling, touching the sides or hurting themselves
  • Water penetration polo where a slippery ball has to be kicked or passed between team members to score goals in water trodden apartments situated below leaking balconies, planter boxes and flat roofs
  • A 400 meter hurdle where strata managers had to run a lap of the oval and jump over or otherwise avoid strata owners trying to stop them to ask questions or get information
  • And, for the final event there would be a marathon strata meeting lasting 26 hours where the person most active (or awake) at the end wins

It would be a fantastic strata spectacle.  And, just imagine the pageantry of the opening ceremony!
