No, it's not a new Olympic event. This is Bill trying to manage the 2" hose that we used to pump water from the pond to the pool at the top of the hill. We stretched it out and let it lie in the warm sun for a day or so to "relax". We got a 2900 gal/hour. Tsurumi pump set in the bottom of the pond. It lifts the water about 6 - 7 feet above the surface of the pond itself (a 6 or 7 foot "head").
