[center][emoji=snowflake][b]Slalom Alpine Skiing[/b][emoji=snowflake] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=21017131] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/210172/21017131_350.png[/img] [/url] Aria didn't particularly like the cold, but that wasn't gonna stop her from rubbing victory in her clanmates' faces. They had the nerve to dare her-- to tell her that they bet she wasn't gonna do it! She'd show them. She'd show them all. She slunk up to the starting line, snatching the equipment she needed from the pile as she went; two short poles and two long skis well fit for a spiral her length. She settled herself down in a nice position, her tail thrashing miserably in the [u]crystal[/u] snow as she waited. Glancing back towards her clan, she saw Rosenfeld slip some treasure to Sedge... betting on her, no doubt. Her gaze snapped forward again as the announcer began counting down. 3... Aria shuffled so that her skis were angled just right. 2... she set the tips of the poles farther in front of her. 1... she leaned forward drastically, thrust the poles behind her, and she was off! The cold wind bit into her scales, and she furiously bit back. It was kinda stupid. The first gate rushed towards her more quickly than she expected, but she swerved through just in time to meet the next one almost head on. Her skis found their way around the gate's right pole, but her exposed elbow smacked right into it, making her hiss in anger. She spun to perfectly make it through the next gate, and breathed a sigh of relief when out the other side. She did it, that'll show them! She focused her eyes ahead again. There were even more gates coming up, and she was already tired. Her rage warmed her talons as she dug her poles into the ice yet again and shouted "Let's get this thing over with!"[/center]

[center][emoji=snowflake] [b]Ski Jumping[/b] [emoji=snowflake][/center] [center][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&tab=dragon&id=178418&did=24021600][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/240217/24021600_350.png[/img][/url][/center] [emoji=wind balloon] Ramus was used to fly into the infinity; Being originally from the lands of the Windsinger, one of her passage rites was flying through the wild and windy Twisting Crescendo... But this was different. She was here to fly in a very unique way; jumping. She ran to the stalls to sign her name on the rosters. Part of the Haven was playing Ice hockey, but Cotton, her companion, was there to cheer for Ramus. The Olympics committee gave all participants a few minutes to test the track. Ramus tied the safety belt of her skis tight, and went out. The snow was shiny under the Southern Icefield's sun, looking like a [i]crystal[/i] made land. For some reason, even when she was from an Ice Flight Haven and was used to this kind of scenery, the place looked ethereal, dreamy. The Imperial smiled broadly, and when she heard her name for the test jump, she almost fell while running to the top of the track. "Be careful!" Said one of the participants, laughing a little " You don't want an unexpected injury!"

[center][b]DAY SIX: SPEED SKATING[/b][/center] [center][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=5165181] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/51652/5165181_350.png[/img] [/url][b]Meteor[/b] (Arcane)[/center] [I]The lone Tundra walking towards the start of the [b]Speed Skating[/b] track passed by almost completely unnoticed, slipping quietly through breaks in the crowd. As a result, Meteor arrived at the track fairly quickly, without any of the hassle the rest of her Clan had faced--and caused--in the preceding days. Sitting down to wait for her start of the race, she set the skates she was holding down beside her and turned to study the track. It stretched out for quite some distance, gleaming with a [b]crystal[/b]-like sheen. Meteor could feel the excitement mounting inside her. Soon she would be racing down that track, cutting grooves into that ice, proving her name--or at least, making the best showing of it that she could. She slipped her skates onto her feet and stood, taking a few practice steps. She was ready. Now all she had to do was win...[/i]

He was always on the lookout for dragons that pulled dirty tricks, as he remembered getting tripped a few times in the practice games. He wouldn't let his team get injured, so he checked thoroughly if everyone had put on their safety gear correctly. He liked his team. Not all of them were Mirrors like him, but it felt a bit like having a pack. And despite everything he looked forward to a good battle between two packs, even if it was "just" in ice hockey.

The entries were recorded, but the links don't work. I don't use the links unless it's to verify a prize, so I can just use forum search for your name as poster and the event if that's the case. Curling did work.

[b]Figure Skating[/b] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=47754455] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/477545/47754455_350.png[/img] [/url][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=48306145] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/483062/48306145_350.png[/img] [/url] Having descended out of the night skies a few short weeks ago during the nocturne migration, this mysterious pair glided worldlessly onto the ice - a few clan members were gathered to watch the competition, but none of them had expected to see any of their fellow clanmates succeeding. They had never once told anyone their names, much less their hobbies. But they could dance, apparently - the stadium collectively held its breath. They seemed to create their own light, making the ice shine like crystals below them. As the performance ended, the pair stopped in the middle, looking out into the crowd, addressing the large gathering of their new clanmates - "Thank you for accepting us. No matter what happens, we thank you for your support!" The crowd bursts into applause. A young mirrors states quietly "I didn't know they even spoke common..."

She built it with her own paws to have some snow fun with her son but now she can compete with it and this full her heart of joy and confidence. She taps gently on the wood "help me sledge, my kid is watching me and I want to make him proud of his mum" the tundra smiles softly as the speaker announces her name "I'm ready".

[center][b]Sixth Event: Speed Skating[/b] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=39046409] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/390465/39046409_350.png[/img] [/url] [i]Whirligig[/i] With appearance by: [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=35107545][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/351076/35107545.png[/img][/url] [i]Oasis[/i][/center] [rule] Oasis had felt a sense of unease as soon as she heard her decidedly uncompetitive fellow ridgeback Whirligig had volunteered for the speed skating event, so with her own competition finished she now looked on from the stands. Spotting her, the purple and white dragon waved merrily from the starting line. She frowned in response and jabbed at the course in front of him to indicate he should focus on the race. A moment later the starting buzzer went off, and Oasis was slightly relieved to see Whirligig push off with force and actually build up a decent speed. Her reprieve only lasted until the skaters reached the first corner, though: with dismay she realized he was deliberately moving towards the outside edge so as to avoid bumping into any of the smaller skaters. [i]"Stop being nice, you dolt!"[/i] She bellowed. [i]"You're supposed to be beating them!"[/i] If he somehow won this race in spite of his manners, it'd be a miracle.

He still wasn’t sure it was really wise to let Jormungandr play at all – especially when the spiral was rapidly turning himself into an enormous pile of knots in his excitement – but no one else had been willing to take the goaltender position. Not that he blamed the rest of the Clan: Magni and Modi’s sibling rivalry was almost legendary and no one truly wanted to get in the middle of it. After last year’s frankly embarrassing display at Curling, during which his sons had broken out into a fully-fledged fight when they lost their match, he had vetoed any suggestion of his children competing in that event again. No, this year, he was taking a more direct approach and had informed his offspring that they would be part of an Ice Hockey team with himself as the captain. Perhaps they might keep their bad behaviour to a minimum with him on the ice alongside them – bellowing admonishments if necessary. “Now,” he announced, “I would like you all to remember that this is a team game, and we are all on the same side.” Modi glowered from beneath his helmet, unrepentant. At least Magni had the decency to look ashamed. “Of course, Father,” Thruda murmured. She looked rather small beneath all the padding, and suddenly Thor wondered if it was really such a good idea to have her playing defence – or playing at all. But there was no way he could find a replacement at such short notice, and nor could he stomach forfeiting the match. “I’m sure we’ll find some teamwork somewhere,” her sister Valkyrja said firmly, glaring at both of her brothers. “Very good,” Thor said with a nod. “Now, I believe it is time to go –” He’d barely finished speaking when Jormungandr launched himself off the bench with an enthusiastic whoop, almost tripping over his shin pads in his enthusiasm. To Thor’s irritation and horror, he used Thor’s body as a climbing frame: wrapping around his foreleg and neck and twisting around his chest before launching up into the air to swoop across the changing room to grab his stick and shoot out of the door. “After Jorm, I suppose,” Valkyrja said with a rueful smile, and the team followed the overexcited spiral out onto the sidelines of the rink.

Lich, a ghoulish dragon devoided of any sense of temperature, was acually quite fittet for such adventures, and a friendly show-off could do him wonders. [u][b]Day 6[/b][/u] Pulling down the pair of protective glasses, the rather small nocturne stands ready at the startline, his mate and servant stood next to him, awaiting orders. "Thank you for your help, my dear, but could you fetch me one of those interesting crystals down at the magic shop we passed by? Could be a useful catalyst for future project." "Yes master, i will do. Good luck." answered his mate and vanished through the door. The necromancer laughed, 'Good luck'. A simple phrase spoken as a force upon rule for social interaction but expected from a faithful and loyal servant. Lich didnt neede luck, he was a man of science and magic, non of these needed luck. Moments pass by, the gave one of the event helpers a signal that he was ready, the countdown starts. 3..2..1.. [b]GO![/b] Lich pushed forward with his ski poles to start the slide, he immediatly pushed forward to gain more speed, the first gate was in view right in front of ihn, easy target to slide through and turn to the right to aim for the next, the took sharp turnes, avoided unnessasary breaks and drove over the one or another gate pole to make his turns sharp and stay fast. He didnt felt the cold, but he most certainly felt the harsh winds today and it was a delight to feel! A grin was on his face as he passed the half way mark, the snow was soft and gave in easily when he made turns and speeded up by crouching down to lower the resistance the winds gave him. He was almost there, that would be his personal best time if nothing goes wrong!
