If watermelon seed spitting was an Olympic event, think you could get a gold in it?

Our friends at This is Alabama decided to ask their Facebook page followers to make up an Olympic event they thought Alabamians would excel at, and boy, did they.

After all, the average person in Alabama may not know their way around a Pommel horse or be setting a world record in track, but we could definitely hold our own in a kudzu climbing event or Moon Pie discus if given the chance. Oh, and an Alabamian running from yellow jackets after having just ran over their nest with a lawnmower is destined for gold for sure.

You can see more of the Alabama-themed Olympic events readers suggested below, and you can see all of them on the This is Alabama Facebook page.
