[2009 May] Qiao Nan Primary CCA |
|
It was a 15 session CCA. Eyes wide open, jaws hung low. That was the reaction when the class of P3 students from Qiaonan watched the demonstration for the very first time. "How fast do you want to be by the end of the 15th week?" the instructor asked the first question. "30 seconds...", "40 seconds...". Most of the students were unsure of themselves. "6 seconds!" one or two were optimistic. By the 15th session, the results are clear. When they could previously only admire in awe the seemingly lightning speed of the instructor, they are now giving him a run for his money. While no one achieved 6 seconds, everyone managed to climb up the grading program ladder. Check out their achievements below!

[2008 Aug] The Sunday Times - Cups Runneth Over |
The Sunday Times, 31 August 2008 :
Cups runneth over
Read the full report here. (File size 2.76M)
Sport-Stacking in the news!
Popular Straits Times journalist Cheryl Tan writes about the sport that is driving schools crazy.She was at Lianhua Primary school to witness our instructors conduct the concluding lesson for the Primary 2 students, and also witnessed an exciting competition between Lianhua students and their Chinese visitors.
Crazy-Cups, however, wishes to redress two misconceptions about Sport-Stacking, as raised by sport surgeon Tan Jee Lim in the article. Firstly, Tan commented that "it would be hard to define (sport-stacking) as (a sport) because a real sport requires actual physical activities that make use of the cardiovascular system in order to improve". REAL sports? What are they? Take Archery as an example. From the calm composure of an archer preparing and eventually sending an arrow over a long distance and striking the target with precision, they hardly seem to break a sweat. And what about Equestrian? It seems to work the horse's heart and lungs more than the rider's. By Tan's definition both would not be real sports, yet both were hotly contested events in the recent Beijing Olympics 2008, the International multi-sport event! Take the pulse rate of a stacker who has just competed in a heads-on challenge. Sport-stacking DOES work the cardiovascular system, and much more.
Secondly, Tan also suggested "Cupstacking is more of a leisure pursuit", and it is not hard to understand why such a comment is made. Despite being around since 1980 and touted as the fastest growing sport, there are still many people who have not heard of it, let alone realise and appreciate its benefits and fiercely competitive and exciting nature. Read the long list of benefits that Sport-stacking offers , and the study done by 4 US Professors on Sport-stacking's influence on hand-eye coordination and reaction time. Ask a keen stacker how much practice time and effort it takes to improve the Cycle Stack to under 10 sec, and the intense pressure he is subjected to during competitions. Leisure pursuit? Hardly!
Sport-stacking may not be in the league of the Olympics. Not just yet.
But start stacking. This could one day be your ticket to a Golden dream!
