Film Land Competitor: Hulk (Eric Bana / Edward Norton / Mark Ruffalo)
From: Hulk (2003); The Incredible Hulk (2008); The Avengers (2012)

Shot put involves throwing a ball that weighs 7.26 kilograms as far as possible, without stepping outside the circumference of a circle 7ft wide. Competitors use different styles of throw, most popularly a spin motion or a glide motion. We’re proposing that Hulk give it a go. Assuming he could fit his feet inside the circle, we know for a fact that he can throw a tank over a mile, so this should be a doddle. Someone just tell Edinburgh to look out for flying objects, eh? Hulk, incidentally, will also be smashing records in the long jump and weight lifting events but has agreed not to compete in any other events for the sake of international athletics morale. Referees and officials, meanwhile, have been prescribed valium and protective tanks.
 

Current world record: 23.12m

Anticipated world record: 534.26km
