Imagine a student standing over a table, left and right hands poised, waiting for the "GO" signal.

"Ready, set, go!" With lightning quickness, 12 specially designed cups (Speed Stacks) are stacked in predetermined pyramids.

Then, with even greater speed, the cups are downstacked. You've got to see it to believe it!

Click on one of the four links, here to the see a real time video of the sport of cup stacking with Speed Stacks. There are two formats (large and small video clips) each in QuickTime and Windows MediaPlayer from 389 Kb to 2.1 Mb.

Enjoy. :)

I have a good friend that was close to qualifying for rhythmic gymnastics in the last olympics. I've watched her practice countless times and let me tell you that the amount of effort it takes to do what they do is far beyond many other events that are considered "sports." :)

I'd rather go watch my cousin play ice hockey on the junior olympic team as a freshman in high school. He made the final cut(down to 43), but I don't know if he made it.
