I'm not sure it'd be "much more" entertaining. I think watching arguably the greatest athletes in the world compete in their specialty is a great spectacle and I find it odd that they are implying it's boring, but it would certainly be a lot fun to watch regardless (aside from the ridicule that sadly would occur)

It would be garbage to watch random people do these events. The only entertainment would be watching people like me almost kill themselves pole vaulting or something.

I could see it being a whole thing where they crash course in a sport for 3-6mo or something then just get out there and play.

The average person is pretty out of shape, I vote a month. Give them time to get into some shape, plus it shows average people how quickly you can improve your shape and lifestyle with regular excercise

I don’t think that would be fun. They would probably be so sore just from the training that they would barely be able to compete anyway. I think it would be far more interesting to see what people can learn and build up to in a relatively short amount of time. I bet you would get some pretty amazing moments.
