## Resource

A college sophomore just rewrote history at the World Eskimo-Indian Olympics—Leif Richards shattered a 45-year-old grease pole walk record by nearly two feet, smashing it at 15 feet, 4.5 inches. He didn’t even train specifically for it, crediting his rock climbing, ice climbing, and slacklining skills for the win. While he’s mostly there for the community and fun, he’s already eyeing the swing kick and aiming to tie a world record in the one-foot high kick. With finals coming up this Saturday, Richards is proving that tradition, grit, and a little bit of unexpected athleticism can make magic happen.
