“Mainstream’s best athletes have always been strong, fast, and coordinated, but they are mostly specialized. In today’s sports world, that is not enough. The best of the best must also be versatile, daring, and adapt to all environments and arenas. The Ultimate Athlete must also excel at riding, swimming, skiing, surfing, climbing, skating, and much more. The Search For the Ultimate Athlete (SFUA) features the best all-around athletes competing in 20 sports & disciplines. Male & female competitors going head to head in the same arena. No age category, no division, no invitation… ONLY ONE WILL REMAIN…”

This is not your average sports competition. And it will certainly bring above average athletes from around the country to compete. The beginning of summer 2010 marks the commencement of the Search for the Ultimate Athlete in what will be known as “The Ultimate Sports Competition.” And where better than the Pacific Northwest to test athletes’ skills in all areas possible? The championship event will include 24 individuals participating in 20 events, some of which will be surfing, biking, skiing, kayaking and climbing. The competition will take place over 6 days in Oregon, in places such as the Gorge, Mt. Hood, the coast and Portland, and will end with the naming of one person as the Ultimate Athlete.
