Event 3: Push ups

As with all NAU Aurora Olympic events, the honor system is critical.  Most of the events are timed.  Participants, like athletes, are expected to display the highest levels of honor in competition.  To help certify results, participants should record each event with a smartphone and email the video clip to dreichert@national.edu (the head official of the NAU Aurora Olympic games) for verification. Questions may also be directed to this email.
Push Ups
Today's event tests the sheer power of the athlete and uses one of the most common exercises:  the push up!  Unlike most days, this event will be divided into four different competition categories:  men, women,  children (0-10 years of age) and teenagers (actually 11-19 years of age).  Children and teens are not divided by male and female.

 
Object: perform as many push ups as possible within 1 minute.
Rules:  chest must touch the ground, back remains straight and arms must extend all the way at each push up. It is OK to rest on the ground if needed but the time continues to run when resting.

Equipment needed:  Your arms and a floor.  Someone to time/countdown 1 minute.
Event deadline:  participants have until Thursday, Aug. 18 at 12PM (noon) to complete this event and send in video documentation.
The winners will be those with the most number of push ups performed (in accordance with "rules" above.
