If it were to possible to combine all of the sublime elements of the World Cup, the Super Bowl and the World Twenty20 Cricket Championship into one glorious sport you would end up with something closely resembling the World Speed Stacking championships.

Turning cup stacking into a popular global competition? That is the very essence of the sublime.
