Lindsey Vonn gets ultimate praise
In this competition, an athlete stacks up random items in their house and jumps over them. The event was called Homestead high jump. The rules of the game were simple. Competitors run around the house, gathering items and stacking them up to form an enormous tower. There was a time limit to the competition, and the number of stacked items would improve their scoring. Hence, it was not an easy task.

They would score zero points if they knocked the stack over during their jump. Vonn, at the start of the competition, warned fans of not being able to jump. First, she took a low chair and placed it on the ground. Later, she took her dog’s bed, and according to the commentators, the dogs were not happy to see that. After stacking up items, she set those beside her swimming pool; a crafty strategy.
Ultimately, she cleared the jump but pushed one item into the pool. Vonn ended with 43 points for the competition. However, that jumped impressed Curry. “I’m assuming on the slopes you gotta have that good lower body strength, and you definitely demonstrated that on that high jump. So, shout out to you Lindsey. That was pretty nice,” said Curry.
