Ski Jumping helped her learn to fly, and so she devoted a lot of time to learning how to jump farther and to perform tricks while in the air. She'd risen quickly to the ranks of the best ski jumpers, and when her invitation to the Winter Games arrived, she was packed within an hour and on her way the next day.

She isn't the most graceful dragon, but one has to be able to get around the Southern Icefield [i]somehow[/i], and flying with a full winter coat can be problematic. Even though she hasn't broken out the skiis since she moved to Carrion Canyon, Cecily is convinced she'll be able to make a good showing at the Winter Games this year. Maybe even make Bronze! ----- SON OF A BUN. I forgot all about submitting my entries via google forms after Day 1. Sending them in now!

If it hadn't been for his teammates the poor spiral would have been flying off the walls. Now, there were only a few minutes until he was set to jump. Fergus was shaking as he tried to handle his pregame nerves. Despite practicing for countless hours, his first jump was always the hardest to overcome. [i]"Remember, it's not just about how far you can land. Keep your body parallel to the skis, no flying. And when you land, land firmly with.... Pzazz!"[/i] As Fergus streamed down the hill he smiled to himself and repeated to himself one word.. Pzazz.

She wasn't afraid of heights but it definitely wasn't her element. She was used to tinkering not skiing although the love of winter and snow was definitely palpable in her personality. Before long she heard her name and number was to be next. Suddenly butterflies fluttered in her stomach, she was really going to do it. As the beep to let her know to go sounded she hesitated before plummeting down the ramp at incredible speeds. Almost instantly she left the ramp and she felt like she was flying as she bent her body closer to the skis...[/center]

[b]Speed Skating[/b] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=22119099] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/221191/22119099_350.png[/img] [/url] The Games contingent looked around, counting heads- Wait... where was FlippaNip? There was an instant panic- not a one of them /understood/ the crazy little Fae, and even tho he was born to the Ice realms, and looked like Ice himself, he just wasn't... RIGHT.... in so many ways! He'd wandered off before, and found himself at the Nature Lair he now called home- what if he wandered off here and STAYED? There was some general panic as everyone spread out, hunting for their Lair-mate... No one really expected to find what IceFall did... FlippaNip's antlers, laying atop a pile of navy colored wrapping linens... right next to an empty Ice Skating carrier... oh no... no no no... "FlippaNip!!!" Icefall called, at the top of his lungs- "Nooooo! We HAVE an Entrant for--" but it was too late. FAR too late... his eyes fell on the tiny whirlwine as it sped around and around the track, racing others of similar skill and speeds. "Everyone!!" IceFall bellowed, "He's HERE... He's COMPETING!!!" There were flutters and yelps, groans and fretful complaints... but there was nothing to be done about it NOW... FlippaNip had SCOOPED them all. He was competing in the Speed Skating event for their Lair... and oh... look at him GO!! Bekreg twitched, as Alnitak cocked her head with a smile, and noted, "Well... we didn't ASK him if he was already skilled in anything, Did We..." Oh. Murmurs were shared. No... no they didn't... huh! Shame on them all then! They picked up his wraps and waved them, cheering him on. ....while Bekreg stared at the Antlers. If those were his headgear and wraps... did that make him.... NAKED? Guest Camero: IceFall: [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=20114763] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/201148/20114763_350.png[/img] [/url] (and previous entry Dragons too!)

[center][b][u]Luge[/u][/b] [i]Bryon[/i] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=10019953] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/100200/10019953_350.png[/img] [/url] Bryon had had time over the past few days to check out the luge track and sit in the audience, watch other competitors slide down the speedy track. He was trying to memorize all those twists and turns. He was wondering how the first competitors had felt going down that track, they hadn't probably had much time to study it before they went in. Bryon needed it, he needed to view it, he needed a clear map in his head to be able to do his very best. So when he'd get there to the top and started his slide, he could do it effortlessly, so he wouldnt have to think, he could just see the map in his head, and concentrate on speeding down that map. Oh, this was going to be fun. [/center]

[b]Curling[/b] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=8487450] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/84875/8487450_350.png[/img] [/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=9173766] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/91738/9173766_350.png[/img] [/url] Kelloa and Iris are the perfect Curling team. With control and finesse they slid the stones down the ice and hit the target effortlessly. As Skydancers they were very aware of the vibrations in the ice and used them to their advantage. Sweeping down the lane ahead of the stone they knew they were doing well and controlled their enthusiasm until the end.

Cross country [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=13286237] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/132863/13286237_350.png[/img] [/url] Cross country was her favorite because it could be so quiet. She was warm in her pink coat and set off at the starting gun just as the snow started to fall. She knew it would be a long way but it was ok because she just listened to the shh shh shh of her skis.

"You are most welcome ," he replied. Niceties exchange, he leaped into the air flew back the way he came. Apricity Casually proceeded to the sing-up both to get her number. "Just sign your name here, here and on this weaver," the attendant said, before turning to help another dragon. Sign-up taken care of, she went to find the rink the curling event was being held at. The rink had far fewer dragons at it then any of the other event areas it seemed. Perhaps this event was not as popular as she thought it would be. None the less, she had come here to compete, and that is just what she would do. Grabbing a broom and giving it a little twirl, she did her best to add what any non-fae dragon would call a confident swagger to her step. "Make way everyone and watch who a professional plays this game."
