Rites of passage involving pain tolerance have been documented from the earliest of human records and as such, the BME Pain Olympics can hardly be called new or genuine. BME Pain Olympics are almost exclusively held by those people attending BME BBQs and are usually well photographed and video recorded for bmezine.com History of BME Pain OlympicsThe first BME Pain Olympics were in 2002 in Toronto, Ontario, where some of the events were drinking hot sauce, forehead pulling, and seeing how much weight one can carry on a suspension. This BME Pain Olympics set the tone for those to follow, with contestants like The Lizardman, Shannon Larratt, and The Great Orbax.
