If Boston Olympic talks stall, and people suddenly feel like there is just no way the International Olympic Committee would ever, in about a bazillion years, choose The Hub over those other cities – don’t you dare even think about pressing that panic button.

Why? Two words: Dylan Polin.

Polin, to celebrate the end of 2014, decided to attempt what so many, surely, must have told him was impossible: flip from one Red Line platform to the next, flying and tumbling through the air, over a set of train tracks at Park Street Station. “Been dreaming about it for years,” Polin wrote on Instagram; it was the caption of a video of him completing his miraculous stunt.

“Unauthorized personnel are prohibited from being within the subway tracks right-of-way,” MBTA spokesperson Joe Pesaturo told us, which is the reason the T is looking to slap Polin with a trespassing charge.

But here’s the thing. Say Boston needs to set itself apart from the 2024 host-city competition – one way to do that is to pitch, aggressively, the idea of making parkour an Olympic sport. It works; Boston is chosen. Guess who will be the favorite to win the gold?

Polin.

Can’t imagine a Boston gold medalist at the Boston 2024 Summer Olympics would be considered unauthorized personnel. Soooo, yeah… Tweets of the week time.
