How many of you have a true rival?

How many people here have a real rival . Whether its academic, sports, goal based etc.

Unfortunatly an old friend became a rival of mine, we are never violent towards each other but we have a healthy or possibly un-healthy competition which is mostly goal and work based.

Just out of interest who has a rival and did it ever come to an end?
If it did, were you beat? did they beat you? did you end up friends? did it turn out violent lol?
Would you be honest enough to admit he/she beat you?

Curiously yours,

I have no rivals, any who dared challenge me were ground into the dirt, and then I laughed as they crawled away...

only joking

Never really had a rival as such.

well he kinda looks like me, cept has a better tan, and always follows me around and sometimes there are multiple "hims" depending on the light. always... watching me.
