Another Olympics is in the books and this one will rank as one of the best ever. With 30 guys, the 08/09 Olympics tied the 06/07 for the largest attendance at an Olympics. It was nice to see all of the guys running around and having fun. One of my favourite things about the Olympics is that everyone has to quickly learn everyone else's name in order to challenge them. This year there wasn't a clear favourite which made for great drama. There must have been at least 4 or 5 lead changes throughout the night. Drew, David, Levi, Mitchell, Kevin and Zac all either had the lead at one point or were within one point of the lead. Several times throughout the night Jeremy and Charlie would declare that someone different was now in the lead. This year we had all of the pyramids at one table, I think that this was an improvement, the guys could watch all of the events and use a little more strategy. In the end the difference between 1st and 2nd was one point and that came down to one final battle between D-pod and Sam Schiesser. Sam and David had arm wrestled twice before and both guys had won once. At the third and final battle Drew and David were tied with 24 points but Drew had a first in Box Hockey so Dave would have to beat Sam to take the title. With a crowd around them Dave and Sam battled hard and in the end Dave defeated Sam to take first in Arm Wrestling and the Olympic Title! All of the events had multiple leaders throughout the night. Sammy J. took the Football Toss at the very end of the night(the new Football Tosses were awesome), Mitch won Basketball for the second year in a row and Zac G. finished third overall.
