Paul mentioned and compared his walk with several things in the early olympic games.
He "ran his race" He spoke of recieving "a crown"
Paul said he fought, not as one that "beat the air" ( an early olympic sport)
He even said "lay aside every wieght" (The early olmpians in rome would lay aside the wieght of thei clothing to be able to run faster)
If you are trying to paint Paul as a wacked out Ultra Con, I don't think he was.
He missed great oportunities to condemn those sports he made reference to..BUT he did not.
