We’ll begin today with Alpine Skiing - Slalom - an event that requires speed and dexterity to edge out competitors by mere fractions of seconds.

This year, [i]in one event[/i], Ice already has more medals than the entire Winter Games last year. [/size]

You may recognize our third place finisher: Twinkle was on the medal podium two years ago in this very same event, earning a bronze medal there as well.[/size]

Just like last year, two out of three of the dragons on the podium were born in Ice flight! Given the length of the course, there may be some competitive advantage to dragons used to the cold and wintery conditions.[/size]

Could the extra excitement and big cheering section have helped lead their athletes to victory? We’ll have to keep a close eye on this storyline.[/size]

Our bronze medalist comes from a well-respected elder clan of Sornieth, and he drew on his experience in the 4th Winter Games to earn a spot on the podium this time. It was great to see him back and competing again![/size]

Was planning to RP a response, but I'm mired in work atm -- just wanted to take the time to say thanks again for running the event! It's always a fest highlight for me, and I always enjoy reading the commentary.
Congrats to the other winners as well! [emoji=tundra star] [emoji=firework]

First up, Curling! Curling is a fun sport that’s been gaining in popularity since its first introduction in the Winter Games in 2017. We enjoyed seeing everyone’s outfits in the Uniform Showcase two years ago - there are already talks to bring it back for the 10th Winter Games in two years.

First time Winter Games participant, Team Willowisp, slid their way to the gold, while another 2023 Hall of Fame clan inductee found their way to the medal podium already. The judges kept a [i]close[/i] eye on the bronze medalists, but they won fair and square with no shenanigans on the ice. [/size]

With the very last figure skating performance of the Winter Games, longtime multi-event participant Sapphire skated her way to victory and her first figure skating gold. Previously a clan medalist and Luge winner, the Spiral joined the games under the wire this year to earn her clan another medal.[/size]

It’s always an honor to medal in this event, given the number of fierce competitors each year.[/size]

This is another team event, so a representative is chosen from each winning clan to display their medal. You’ll notice some repeats here - both our gold and silver medalists just had clan victories announced yesterday in the skiing events.[/size]

Mixed clan teams are still popular, but there seems to be a cohesiveness when the entire team comes from the same clan.[/size]

We’re going to try to power through today and hold the medal ceremonies for the last three individual events so everyone isn’t kept in suspense any longer. First up is Luge - a fun, fast event popular with some of our long time competitors. We regularly get a nice mix of new entrants and experienced athletes on the podium. You just need a fast run and a little bit of luck!

He adds a bronze to the silver already in his collection. Could he come back again next year and try for the gold to complete the set?

Just Speed Skating is left. Speed skating is a much more grueling competition than many spectators give these dragons credit for. Here again we have three new medalists, claiming victory for the first time in this event for their clans.[/size]

This year had a little bit of everything, but these dragons should be proud to claim the last individual medals in the 2023 Sornieth Winter Games![/size]
