For me:
-Olympic Marathon runners (Just something about running 26 miles in a little over 2 hours is absurd and not many people in this world have the skill or desire to do it.)
-Anyone who has climbed Mount Everest (I think only around 1000 people have successfully done it and its a pretty badass task to accomplish. Supposedly some guy para glided down it which is fucking sick: http://www.usairnet.com/2011/05/paragliding-off-everest/

I could probably think of a lot more but thats what I came up with off the top of my head.

Your turn, Go!

No Life

yeah, i've heard that its kind of disregarded as an accomplishment in the climbing community, because anyone with 10,000 dollars can be chaperoned up. i would still definitly do it though. climbing K2 is wayy more intense.

Crazy Fool

i like sportsmen that are considered talented but always have the chip on their shoulder that they dont have enough success because they dont train hard enough or dont take sports seriously enough. its fucking sports, when a fucking journalist tells you that youre too lazy or whatever than something is wrong. i like that they are simply GOOD and not machines that train day in day out. kind of reflects my personality i guess. i really dont appreciate my "successes" whenever i have the feeling that nearly anyone can have it if he just works hard enough (hs diploma, bachelor, drivers licence, all the little shit that people congratulate each other).

like randy moss, kimi raikkonen, jan ullrich off the top of my head.

of course a lot of other people, but most were already mentioned.
