Humans are a competitive bunch. We innately rally against each other in constant battles for supremacy, as you'll see in this cluster.

From the inspiring disabled Bodies in Motion modeling contest, to the very bizarre household item races and innovative skyscraper competition, there are no shortage of ways to compete in something.
