2.3.241 Milo, an athlete of Crotona during the sixth century BC, was famous for many feats, the most notable of which was to carry a bull on his shoulders for 40 yards, kill it with one blow of his fist, and consume it in a single day. (See, e.g. Pliny, 7.20.83, LCL, 2.558-61.)

Best footnote ever?

Also, when are we going to revive this sport?
