It is an Austrian contest where people can vote for athlete of the year.
Christian is this guy. He wields a sling and his team has won more medals than any other.

I think CA wants us to vote for him to bring more attention to slinging.
And I think it is a great idea!

You vote at the bottom of the page and Christian will need some help!

So what you are suggesting is that we all participate in foreign election interference?

Well, as long as it serves our purposes. Since we know what’s best for the Austrian people better than they know themselves, I suppose such a noble cause is completely justifiable. #seemslegit

I voted... twice!

I've read the dimensions but never seen it up close. It looks huge. Going by that size I reckon my kids are better than most people I've seen on youtube, because a lot seem to miss the whole target.

I had a similar reaction on seeing it initially as it was the size of my backstop at the time. I imagine in the heat of competition it looks very tiny though lol.
