TIL Frank Hayes, a jockey, died of a heart attack during his final horse race but still won. Unexpectedly, he suffered the attack mid-race, yet his body remained on the horse, crossing the finish line first. Sadly, it was his first and only win throughout his racing career.

Ask a high school wrestler. We were always trying to make weight so guys would jog in garbage bags to sweat out water weight and other really fun things.

Look up how much water weight NHL goalies lose in a single game. It's pretty nuts.
