Olympic Fever, do you have it? I know I do. I sit enthralled in front of my tv watching the downhill skiers go balls to the wall(pardon my expression)down the side of the mountain, looking for the best time. Snowboarders gaining such heights and turning awesome tricks down the half pipe, figure skaters looking so graceful as they do amazing things with their bodies all on a pair of thin blades. I am in awe of the nerves each athlete must have to conquer injuries and fears in the quest to fulfill their dreams.Kudos, bravo and may the gold be within your reach to each and every athlete...
So in honor of the Olympics, I thought it would be fun to do a Friday Five...
Five sports I'm sure must have shapeshifter secretly competing in... ;)
1. Snowboarding - It takes a heck of a lot of strength to get those boarders into the positions and heights. Jaguar for sure.
2. Figure Skating - This sport takes such agility, jumps, spins, balance...all on thin blades, yep shapeshifter are a definite here, perhaps a house cat?
3. Short Track Speed Skating - Coordination galore. Making those tight passes and at those speeds, I'm guessing wolf.
4. Downhill Skiing - Speed, Speed and more breakneck speed. Large cat of any variety here.
5. Cross-Country Skiing - Endurance a must. Up hills, down hills, twists and turns and all at a really fast pace. I have no doubt we were looking at some bear in this grouping. :)
What about you, Olympic watcher? If so, what's your favorite sport?
BTW...Women's skeleton, starts tonight! ;)

Couples figure skating sounds like a natural event for an alpha pair. Or maybe a wolf and a cat?
Don't forget the coyote pickpockets working the crowd.
Pat C.
LOL...Good call, Pat! An alpha pair would be thrilling to watch rounding the rink. Passion in their moves and hot emotions in their eyes!
As for the coyote's in the crowd..they wouldn't have to pick pockets, I'd willingly give them, erm, anything they desired! ;)
No doubt, the shapeshifters are among the competing athletes... I bet those little Arctic foxes must be dancing on ice, too.
Yep, those Coyotes are taking full advantage of the entranced crowds.
I love sports and the whole idea of the Olympics! But I can't get past the hype or the exploitation, anymore.
Oooh, that's right, Savanna, the Artic foxes...yep I bet the Ice Dancing competition has a fox or two. :)
Yeah, the hype and exploitation is a bummer with all sports, as is the extreme amounts of money we throw at the athletes...
LOL! You paint a very interesting picture and I'd love to see this as a graphic novel! Why not a shapeshifter olympics? You have to admit the advertising hype would be very low key...
Paris, good idea! About a Shapeshifter Olympics.
If we all had time, it could make a sweet-hot anthology.
