Question 1085: One does not simply X into Mordor

X, which was created by Benzido in 2008, begins with the lines " You are X, our small nation's sole representative in the Olympic games. Use the X keys to move your legs. Ideally you will run 100 metres...But our training program was under-funded. Remember, it is not about whether you win or lose." As Bennett Foddy (the developer) describes the setting, “X is the local sporting hero of a prosperous country in the Scandinavian alps. Unfortunately, it is too cold there for an outdoor track, and X has come to the championships without completing his training!”
