A Human Olympian runs the gauntlet.

Conditions:

• The human is provided an iron spear, a fur shield, and an iron dagger strapped to his waist.
• He is trained for one year in the art of martial combat by Roman Legionnaires.
• Assume he is of average intelligence for a human (I.Q. of 100), so he may be able to use his wits.
• Victory via incap or death.
• Even if he stops at a certain round, please name which animals he would be able to beat, and if this list is out of order.

Gauntlet:

1. A wolverine.

2. A wild, feral dog.

3. A bobcat.

4. A coyote.

5. A gray wolf.

6. A cheetah.

7. Two coyotes.

8. A chimpanzee.

9. A jaguar.

10. Three coyotes.

11. A puma.

12. A tiger.

Location:

It depends on his mindset. Is he brave enough and willing to fight for his life? Will he suffer injuries and pain and still be ready to kill? If so, he has a chance to win every fight.

Some fights will be hard and there is a high probability that he will die - especialy against the Tiger and the three coyotes.

@voidstar: Out of Order.

Wolverine is waaaaay too low. Those things make bears crap themselves.

Coyotes are waaaaay too high and even two don't stack up to a cheetah or a freakin wolf.

With that said, stops at one.

Wolverine is far too ferocious.

Ugh...wth is a "standard" olympian? In what sport? Like for real...what? Also, you couldn't techically be an olympian with a 100 IQ. "Dumb jock" is a pretty bad stereotype. The nature of sports requires you to be able to see faster, think faster, and react faster...dealing and communicating dozens to hundreds of complex simulations in milliseconds.

You probably couldn't find an Olympian of "average" intelligence.

@paytience: Ryan Lochte?

Standard Olympian in shooting sport clears :)

Do you have any scientific sources backing this? Because I sincerely doubt Wolverines are as dangerous as you're making them out to be. They are very small, and they primarily hunt rabbits and goats, I don't think a Wolverine has any advantage that would allow it to take out a man armed with an iron spear.

Most Olympians are in peak human condition, but for the sake of the of the battle, let's say his sport is boxing.

Stops at 5,if not 6.

@voidstar:

This is much better than shooting, table tennis or water polo. .o) Better would be just fencing, and maybe feestyle wrestling.

Olympic boxer can win. He has fighting spirit. He can endure pain. Can attack and dodge. Has good timing for attack. Can read enemys body movement. Can rest between attacks.

After one year of intensive training, he is probably average fighter with peak condition.

Only tiger can be too much to handle.

You think an armed peak human would lose to a lone gray wolf?
