Klingt lustig? Ist es auch; auf eine bizarre Art und Weise zumindest. Was oben im Zitat steht ist leider wahr, beim Cup-Stacking geht es darum mit 12 "spezial angefertigten" Bechern lustige Pyramidchen zu bauen und die Becher letztendlich in die ursprüngliche Reihenfolge zu bringen.Zitat:
"Cup-Stacking" ist eine Sportart, in der es darum geht, mit 12 Plastikbechern möglichst schnell eine festgelegte Menge an bestimmten Pyramiden zu bauen und die Becher hinterher wieder in die Startposition zu bringen.
Die offizielle Website, der famose Weltrekord, und eine Übersicht mit weiteren Videos von denen vorallem das oberste Video sehr informativ ist und zeigt wie wichtig "Cup-Stacking" doch für unsere Gesellschaft ist und welche wichtigen Werte es den noch formbaren Jugendlichen vermittelt.
Hier der Aufsatz mit dem Thema "Inwieweit haben die Speed-Stacks mein Leben verbessert?" von einer amerikanischen Schülerin:

Story: Thank God for Speed Stacks!
"Speed Stacks is a very unique sport. It can help you do alot of things, which can be very useful. Speed Stacks is said to help you type faster, dribble a basketball, play an instrument, and much much more! It also helps you use both sides of your brain, so you can think more thoroughly. It can also help you concentrate more at school or even at home.
I have improved in Speed Stacks a lot since I was a beginner. Now my fastest time is sixteen seconds. Since I have been experienced with Speed Stacks, I have accomplished many things. I have also done better with my school work. Some days after I have practiced Speed Stacks, I feel that I can do many things faster too. I can type faster and write faster, which helps me to use my time wisely. That way I can have time more time for myself to relax, or practice stacking, of course! Speed Stacks also keeps my focused on my studying or work at school, even in the most boring classes of the day. At school I'm in band and I play the flute. Speed Stacks has helped me move my fingers faster, so I can play better. When I play basketball or volleyball at a friends house, it seems to me that I am getting better at dribbling or serving.
I am glad that I found out about the sport called Speed Stacks because it has helped me in so many different ways that I probably can hardly count them all. Sometimes I think about what my life would be like if Speed Stacks weren't invented. I wouldn't be better at the many things that I am now. So I guess, what I'm trying to say is,"thank God for SPEED STACKS!!"
