Winter Olympics

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.

  1. For my my olympic event i would do a maximum root beer intake contest. You would have to drink as many bottles of root beer as possible. you would automaticaly lose if you pass out or throw up. I would be the winner because ive had like 2 gallons of root beer at a time and i swear i couldve had more but my mom stopped me. Id win like more gold metals than micheal phelps in one olympics.

  2. If I could could invent my own winter olympic sport it would defenitely be a pizza eating contest. Athletes(more like pizza athletes) would have 5 min. to eat the most pizzas. You would be disqualified if you threw up,fainted, coughed,or if you drank from the water bottle on your table. The pizzas would be cut into 10 pieces each. I would probaly win at least one GOLD medal because I once ate 4 whole pizzas at a wedding all by myself, and not any of the small pizza hut pizzas. I am talking about the really big ones. I would have eaten more but they ran out of pizzas. I couldn't eat the cake and that was sad because th cake looked relly good. Anyway I would get more gold medals than anyone else in the world.

  3. If I could make an athlectic event it would be a shaking soda contest. First you would shake the pop bottle for five mintues then you would drink it as fast as you can. You would be disqualifed if you burbed,threw up or talked. There would be a contest for Root Beer, Coca Cola, Coke, Sprite and Diet Coke. The winner would be the person who shook it the most and drank it the fastest.

  4. If I could invent an Olympic event, it would be a pie throwing contest. It would be a contest where you throw a pie at a person's face close up and then they back up farther, and farther, and farther. you would loose automaticaly if you hit someone anywhere other than their face. I would be the winner of this compretition because I can throw high and far.

  5. If I could create a Olympic event it would be the drinking swim you so in this event you have to drink 10 cans of coke rootbeer or sprite in 15 mins or Elyse your disqualified if you make the 15 minute deadline then you will then have to jump into a pool of ice water float on your back for 10 minutes swim the entire length of the pool ( there back is one) 10 times obviously this will be challenging especially with pop in your stomach and if you get out of the pool puke die or pass put you are disqualified. I think I am going to be wonnining a gold medal because I can swim in a cold water but drinking the soda is going to be questionable. Tanner

  10. If I could invent my own olympic sport it would be Lacrosse. The lacrosse players has as many lacrosse balls they need. The goal would be to make as many lacrosse balls into a car, once they make ten lacrosse balls into the car, the car will start to move. I will win the gold because I have very good accuracy and I throw the ball fast.

  12. If I created my own Olympic event, it would be math. Each contestant would be given a math packet to complete. The person who finished fastest with no errors would win the gold medal. I would win the gold medal because I am pretty smart at math.

  13. If I could create a Olympic sport it would be pie eating. I think I would win because I like to write aabout pie, I like to eat pie, and I like to make pie. There will be a disqualification if you clean your face or not eat one pie.

  15. If I could come up with an Olympic gold medal sport it would be a contest to see who could mow the lawn the fastest. They would be judged on how pretty it was and how fast they could do it. I would not be good at this because I have never ever mowed the lawn. But, it would be funny for me to see people racing to mow my yard. Hey, no chores for me! Yippee Sincerely and funnily, Sara

  16. If I could create an Olympic sport I would make it Speed Pitching. Two pitchers would face off and they would each have 2 minutes to throw as many fastballs that are strikes as they can. They would get points deducted if your mechanics of your pitch were messy or bad. Also you would get points deduced if you threw a different pitch other than a fastball. You would get disqualified of you hit the batter that is standing in the batter box. I think that I would win the gold because my mechanics are getting better and I can throw strikes on command. Also I would not throw a change up because I would read the rules of the event, unlike other pitchers who might not read the rules and would get points educated. Also I have been pitching for 6 months and I don’t tend to hit the batter which means that I would have a smaller chance of getting disqualified from the event.

  17. If I could create an Olympic sport it would be cake decorating. Four people would sit at the table with two cooked cakes. They would get precisely 15 minutes to decorate a two layer cake. This Olympic sport will have 90 total points that you can get. You will be judged on these things: style, pattern, and beauty. Each section will be worth 30 points. Whoever doesn't finish their cake gets disqualified. If nobody finishes their cake then the judges will go on to the next four people. If your cake doesn't have style, pattern, or beauty then you will have points deducted. I think that I would win the gold medal because I am good at decorating cakes and I can do it fast. Also I think I would get the gold medal because I would write out a plan for my cake and have all the frosting prepared beforehand so I can get right to decorating.

  18. If I could create a olympic sport it would be "Dunk Contest On Ice,"in the Winter Olympics.
    It would be a regular dunk contest except you have iceskates and you are on ice. You will get points on your tricks and your landing. I think I would win because I am good at basketball and I thought it would be kind of funny on ice.

  20. If I could create an Olympic event, it would be Popcorn Eating. The competitors would be timed for five minutes, and asked to eat as much popcorn as possible. They would be judged on the following things: How many bowls finished and, how polite you are (no burping is allowed, or if you do you will be disqualified). The overall things will be judged on an overall score. I would definitely win gold medals at this event because I love popcorn, and eat it rarely.

  21. If I had an Olympic event it would be Ice Cream eating. You would be given a certain amount of ice cream any flavor you like. You would half to eat all this ice cream in 10 minutes or more. You would be judged on the following things: How neat your face was without wiping, how big of a mess you made and how much ice cream you ate. You would be disqualfied if you puked or burped. I would win Gold medal because I love eating ice cream and I don't puke after eating ice cream.

  22. If I could create an Olympic event it would be heading. You would have to get as many balls in the goal, with a goalie, as possible. You would be given 20 soccer balls and someone you train with will throw you the balls and you will have to head it in. You get points deducted if you miss the ball or it doesn't go in the net. I would win the gold medal becausei am good at heading and i know a trick to getting it in he goal every time.

  23. If I could envent an olympic sport, it would be writing the best play. There would be only four actors aloud and you would have 4 days to write it. When you preform the play, you will be judged on story, costume, effects, acting, and teamwork. Each of these would be 20% of the score.(.3) points would be lost for forgetting lines. The team with the highest score would be the winner. The reason I think my team would win a golden medel on this is because every time my cousins come over, I have write a play that we do together. There are only four people including the two cousins I do it with, my brother, and I. Right before they leave we have a preformance meeting all these requirements in front of the parents. We have been doing this ever since I was about 6 years old so I have alot of experiance. My cousins and I would defidentally win gold if this was an olympic sport.

You would have to eat as many burgers/french fries in 10 minutes, but you have to eat at least some of both catagories. If you throw up your out of the competition. The person who eats the most will get the gold medal.I will get the gold medal because I can eat a burger in less than a minute.I would definitely win because I have had a lot of experience eating burgers and french fries in my life.

  25. If I could create my own Olympic sport it would be the "Swing Long Jump". You would swing on a swing as long as you want and then jump off the swing as far as you can go. You have to stick the landing, if you slip you would have to try again. If you slip 5 times, you are out of the game. Once you stick the landing people will mark where your toes are with tape labeled with your name on it. The person that jumps the farthest wins gold. I know I would win a gold medal becacse I do similar compitions with my friends and I always win.

  26. If i could create my own winter olympic game, it would be "Ski Cheering". You would be on skis and you would go down a hill while cheering with your ski cheer group. Whoever the judges thought did the best cheering, and had the best teamwork would win. I know that i would win because i took cheer and my group and i worked together really well.
