WATCH: Ohio State football players claim 'June Olympics' title with half-court shot
𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐎𝐥𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐬 Finale, Half court shots 🏀The Players take down the staff to win the 2025 June Olympics in stylish fashion to end it 🏆 If you've been paying attention to the summer offseason workouts for the Ohio State football team, or reading our stuff here, then you know the team has been going through a little friendly competition called the "June Olympics." It's a competition between the players and staff to see who can bring home the most wins in various competitions with a champion being crowned at the end. We weren't too sure when the end of the "feats of athletic endeavors" between the old guys and the young pups were going to be over, or even what events would be a part of all the hoopla, but we were informed today that the last competition took place by way of half-court shots. Going into the last event, things were all knotted up at 5 to 5, just like you'd want it, so the winner of the long bombs from half-court would get the bragging rights. And, unfortunately for those of us who are competing with Father Time ourselves, the younger players won the half-court shooting competition and took the title of the "June Olympics" with a final 6 to 5 score. You can check out the highlights below. By the looks of it, it took just one shot to win it after several airballs and misfires. Watch as the shot goes through the bottom of the net for the players to claim supremacy. As if the youth in the building didn't have enough talking to do, now the elder statesmen in the program will have to live with the loss until next summer when we see if the "June Olympics" make another appearance.

WATCH: Ohio State football players beat coaches in 'June Olympics' dodgeball
WATCH: Ohio State football players beat coaches in 'June Olympics' dodgeball Next event for 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐎𝐥𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐬, Dodgeball 💪 The players extended their win streak after taking down the staff. Bringing the series 5-3 Players Lead 👀 — Ohio State Football (@OhioStateFB) June 13, 2025 The "June Olympics," a competition between the Ohio State football players and coaches during the doldrums of summer continued this week. This time around, the competition was dodgeball, something you won't see in the traditional Summer Olympics, but that doesn't matter when we're talking about a battle among friends. Coming into the contest, the players were on a bit of a winning streak and had a 4-3 lead in the competition. Nobody is really sure when this thing ends, and us on the outside aren't sure what competitions will be a part of all the fund, but it's clear the coaches needed a win to reel things and and tie things up. Unfortunately for them, the players were able to win once again and now enjoy a 5-3 lead. It's not an insurmountable lead, but one that might prove difficult for the "old guys" to overcome. Here's a look at a snippet of the dodgeball win by the players. Remember, "if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball." We'll keep an eye on the next "June Olympics" moment and report on whether the players extend their lead or if the coaches can pull to within one point.
