In addition to owning the world’s top shot put in 2007, reigning world indoor champion Reese Hoffa evidently has other mad skills in his repertoire.
The bio on Hoffa’s web site, www.reesehoffa.com, describes some of Hoffa’s many hobbies. Among them: “He loves any sort of puzzle and his specialty is solving Rubik’s cube (he’s lightning fast … see the video http://www.reesehoffa.com/ASF_0001.ASF of him solving the Rubik’s cube in 55 seconds).
Hoffa’s Rubik’s mastery has earned him admiration from his teammates in Osaka, who now greet him and cheer for him with “RUBIK!”
Hoffa’s bio also notes that he “likes almost anything to eat, especially his mom’s lasagna, a good New York strip steak and chicken fettuccini Alfredo.” No mention of the gigantic turkey leg Hoffa dramatically consumed after winning the 2007 USA Outdoor title.
