From Larry Stewart:
Tim Long, a research scientist for Old Spice deodorant, is known as the “sweat expert” at the company.
He led a study that determined the sweatiest sports at the Olympics. Tennis topped the list with 3.37 liters in a match, though the marathon was not included in the study. Shooting came in last among the 23 sports tested.
The results were based on duration, intensity and body temperature achieved.
NewMexiKen figures they should have measured the sweat on the guys watching women’s volleyball.
