In this event, athletes will compete to see how can staple the thickest packet of paper using a standard-issued stapler.
Should the staple not protrude through
the back of the last sheet of paper, the athlete will be disqualified. This is certainly a risky event, as there are no second chances.
One staple--that's all each
athlete gets. For this event, there are weight brackets by gender:
