Olympic Aspirations

In the spirit of the Olympic Games...please create your own Olympic athletic event at which you would win the gold medal. Give your event a name, describe it, and explain why you would be its gold medal winner. Read Mrs. Page's example below (notice that your event does NOT have to be related to the real Olympics at all):

Example: If I could create an Olympic event, it would be Diet Coke Guzzling. Competitors would be timed for ten minutes and asked to drink as much Diet Coke as they can. Diet Coke athletes would judged on the following: number of cans finished, politeness of execution (spilling or burping will be points deductions), and a post-event gut check (deductions for stomach aches or heartburn). These three components would be added together for an overall score. I would definitely be a gold medal winner at this event because of my many years of Diet Coke drinking experience.
