O-Lympic wrap-up

We really enjoyed hosting the Smackdown Event in the O-Lympics as well as entering quite a few events.

So far, we're proud to say that Allie was the proud winner of a Bronze Medal for Balance Beam at Cory's blog. Turbo Track competition was held at Max the Quilt cat's blog and Ellie won Best in Footwork and Trooper won Best at Pretending to Sleep while Turbo...ing!

A few of the events were so filled with talented competitors that they shared this special medal for all contestants!

Hosting Smackdown was great fun for us. If you missed the winners, you can click HERE to see them.

Remember this wonderful Smilebox that Mona, Weenie and The Mommy did for the Opening Ceremony?

They did a pawsome wrap up of all of the flags for the closing ceremony too!!

We had a blast competing and hosting! The cooperation of Blogville and the Cat Blogosphere really made this a super special event! We can't wait for the next Pet O-Lympic games! We're going to start training right now. Well.....maybe we'll take a nap first!!!

The Finalists by Judge - Day 1

Smack Down Katharine Burnette Judging

8/8/12

JB Smacking down Charli 9.8
“ JB certainly appears to have had His Wheaties this Morning. He is really using those hind legs for leverage. But I have to give Charli credit for the nice Tripoding form”.

Dante and Dylan 9.6
“I can truly appreciate the dedication of these two competitors in the face of possible distractions… Look, there’s bird…!”

Bibi-Chan Vs Gen-Chan 9.5
“Well sportsfans, there is obviously no love lost between these two Olympians.”

Zoey and “Friend” 9.25
“I am concerned about this move being within regulations. But as long as it’s legal I say, Good on Ya.”

Kjelle Bus 9.0
“Talk about hitting a man when he’s down!”

Janice Nussear judging

Smackdown:
Dante and Dylan 9.8
Bibi Chan and Gen chan 9.5
Zoey and Friend 9.4
JB and Charli 9.2
Jack and Bella 9.0

Nicole Ryan Judging

1. Jack/Bella: 10.0 A gentleman never hits a lady.

2.Mohoney/Two-Two-: 9.9 "Got him "boxed in"!
3.Bibi Chan/Gen-Chan: 9.5 for messing up the bed!
4. JB/Charli: 9.3 Excellent stance
5. Dante/Dylan: 9.2 Orange you glad I am declawed?

Smack Down Day 2

Katharine Burnette Judging
8/9/12

Stran vs Tuomo 9.8
These competitors have no fear up there on that Middle Smack Down Platform. How do you train for that????

Pekka vs Punapippuri 9.75
That death grip and jugular chomp gets me every time! Just wish their uniforms were in contrasting colors. I am having problems distinguishing one from the other.

Domino vs Piewhackits 9.65
Domino is really working over Piewhackits in that box. That upside down, butt in the air form will not get him/her any points with this judge. But I must say I do love typing Piewhackits.

Nicki vs Derry 9.5
Nice tail and paw pointing form from both of these athletes. The stripes on their front legs almost lines up perfectly (not sure if that matters). Also love the Hosta in the background (my attention may be wandering a tad).

Nora vs Boris 9.45
Pretty sure these competitors are having fun. Mostly gave the high score due to one word in the description – Foster. Mad props to all those fabulous foster Moms and Dads out there and to all of us who have ever brought a new family member into our forever homes and hearts.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this wonderful competition.

Janice Nussear judging

Pekka vs Punapippun 9.8
Wally vs Ernie 9.5
Maxwell vs Allie 9.2
Nikki vs Denny 9.0
Diva vs Shila 8.9
Thank you for the opportunity to judge these fabulous felines and canines! Very fun!

Nicole Ryan - Day 2 :

Pungy and Shoe: 9.8
2. Jasper/Sandi: 9.7
3. Nikki/Derry: 9.6
4. Wallie/Ernie: 9.3
5. Pelka/Punapippuri: 9.0

These are too funny! Thanks for asking me to join in the fun!
