DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince Are Competing in the Decathlon for Cuba?

August 9, 2012 By 1 Comment

Here are Cuban decathletes Leonel Suarez and Yordani Garcia this morning in the 110 meter hurdles portion of the Olympic decathlon.

The Cuban pair bears an uncanny resemblance to a popular West Philadelphia-based late 80s/early 90s hip-hop duo.

As of this writing, Jazz is in 7th place in the decathlon standings; Will is in 19th. (American Ashton Eaton is in the lead.)

A nation may only qualify two athletes for the decathlon, which explains why Ready Rock C didn’t make the trip.
