You are proving my point. When I think of "pretty fit" I think Lance Armstrong or Usain Bolt, not Tony Stewart or Dick Trickle. When I think of "crazy strong", names like Poo-holes or Adrian Peterson, or "The Killer" Ray in Baltimore, not Jeff Gordan or Kyle Petty.

And since when does dealing with high temperatures make you an athlete?

I agree these guys have a skill set and not any guy could (or would) do what they do. But an Athlete, I think not. Let alone The Top Athlete.
