Tom Hardy was a surprise competitor at the 2022 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Open Championship in Milton Keynes, England
"I was shell-shocked,” Appleby said about Hardy’s showing up to the event unannounced. “[Hardy] said, ‘Just forget it’s me and do what you would normally do.’”
Appleby continued, “He’s a really strong guy… You wouldn’t think it with him being a celebrity. I’ve done about six tournaments and I’ve been on the podium in every one. But he’s probably the toughest competitor I’ve had — he certainly lived up to his Bane character, that’s for sure.”

Prompt 21 - Tough
@jegulus-microfic January 21 Word count 922
Part 1
The party didn’t take long before it was in full swing. Sirius and Mary urged people to drink and dance. James had tried hard not to drink too much, but his friends were incorrigible, pushing fresh drinks into his hands once the previous one was empty. At some point, Marlene’s punch was given to him. It was sweet and delicious, hardly tasting of alcohol. Which, made it all the more dangerous. After that one cup, James felt pleasantly drunk. 
He started doing the rounds as any good host would do. Checking in on people he knew and introducing himself to those he didn’t. He found himself wrapped around Sirius, trying to concentrate on the story he was telling. His mind wandered, and he caught sight of Regulus propping up another wall, a half-drunk cup of something dangling from his fingers as he looked around, bored at the drunk partiers. James extracted himself from Sirius’s side and stumbled to the wall. He had to use it more than he thought he’d need to to keep himself from falling over. He smiled goofily at Regulus, who was purposely ignoring him. 
“Having fun little Reggie?” He asked, leaning over and prodding his finger into Regulus’s side. Regulus flinched away. “Sorry,” James mumbled as he tried to right himself. Regulus’s hand shot out and pushed him back upright. 
“I need some air,” Regulus said before disappearing out the French windows into the growing darkness. James felt bad, wanting to follow him and apologise. However, before he could take one step, Mary came over, pressing another cup into his hand. He took a grateful sip only to realise it was yet another cup of Marlene’s punch. To hell with it, he thought as he downed it.
The room started spinning as this last mixture of alcohol hit his system. He ended up in the middle of the room dancing with Lily. Both of them giggled as they tripped over each other’s feet. Panting and sweating, he left her in Marlene’s capable hands after dancing to a few songs. 
He needed some air. The house had gotten very stuffy, and he felt like he might throw up. 
He made his way as quickly as he could to the doors leading outside. The loud sounds from the party muted as he shut the doors behind him. He leaned against the brick wall and let his head fall back, enjoying the cool breeze playing across his forehead. 
He started at the click of a lighter and the flash of a flame. A face was lit as the flame was used to light a cigarette. 
“Skipping out on your own party, Potter?” Regulus smirked, exhaling a cloud of smoke into the night. James blinked a few times, taking in what was happening. 
“It’s not my party.” Was all that he could think of to say. 
“Sure seems like it. It is at your house, after all.” Regulus continued, taking another drag on his cigarette. James shook his head. 
“No, it was Marlene’s idea. I just happen to have a house.”
“I have a house,” Regulus countered. “Why didn’t Sirius offer it up.” He looked generally interested in the answer. 
“Now don’t be offended, but your house is a bit scary.” Regulus pulled a face. 
“What do you mean scary?”
“Well, just the antiques for starters. They’re everywhere and so very, very breakable.” Regulus nodded thoughtfully. 
“Yeah, I suppose.”
“That,” James continued, emboldened by the fact that Regulus was allowing him to talk and not pulling his usual trick of running away. “Let’s be honest, Reggie. You’d hate having all these people in your house, even if they were sober.” Regulus chuckled quietly.
“Yes, you are correct. Better they destroy your house than mine.” James couldn’t help it, a huge peal of laughter burst out of him. Oh, he was very drunk. He stopped and took in a deep breath. Hoping the night air would help sober him up.
“And I won’t mention the decor.” He added, breathing in and out as evenly as he could. Regulus snorted. 
“Well, that was my family’s doing. They’re very old-fashioned, as you know.” James nodded knowingly but said no more on the matter. The Black family was a sore spot for both of the brothers.
He glanced over at Regulus as he brought his cigarette to his lips again. James’s heart stuttered in his chest. He’d never noticed how slender and delicate Regulus’s fingers were.     
“Do not let Sirius see you smoking those.” He blurted out, trying to keep Regulus talking and his mind of the strange feelings beginning to bloom inside him. “He’ll want to take it up, thinking it makes him look tough.” Regulus choked slightly as he exhaled. 
“Does that mean you think I look tough, Potter?” He snickered as he took another drag, staring deep into James’s eyes. 
James had to swallow hard. His breathing hitched, but he couldn’t break the eye contact that Regulus had captured him in. He took a slow, steady step forward. Giving Regulus time to move away if he wanted to. He didn’t even know what he was doing. Marlene’s punch was making his thoughts fuzzy. All he knew was that he wanted to be closer.  
“James, what are you doing?” Regulus looked at him, confused. Regulus lowered his cigarette and licked his lips. James’s heart pounded in his ears. 
Before his brain could catch up with what his body was doing, he was kissing Regulus and to his immense surprise, Regulus was kissing him back.

Cycling isn’t a game, it’s a sport. Tough, hard and unpitying, and it requires great sacrifices. One plays football, or tennis, or hockey. One doesn’t play at cycling.
Jean de Gribaldy
French cyclist Octave Lapize walks his bike up a hill during the 1910 Tour de France. Despite this he would go on the win the Tour de France that year.
