One minute events are very common in Strongman sports. It's often enough that you'll compete in an event that lasts all day, with only 6-10 minutes of actual work all day long. If you're not whipped the next day in spite of having only worked six or ten minutes the previous day, they didn't make the six minutes of work tough enough.

Competitive wrestling is rounds of 3 minutes, then 2, then 2. I competed for a semester in college and couldn't believe how long that three minutes was.
