Atascapoolza Olympics were tough to say the least. Team MollyHans looked good in the warm ups as did Team AmberJohn. Amber and John were the favorites coming into the competition as winners of the national bbq triathlon back in May.
First event was the egg toss. The teams went quite a few rounds until it was down to three, Team AmberJohn, Team MollyHans, and the team from Bellerose. The next toss was dropped by a nervous Molly and the egg broke. Two teams left and the eggs went flying. John caught his egg as the Belleroseians tripped over their own feet and scrambled there egg. In true soviet fashion, they protested citing unfair shell hardness, however the IOC deemed Team AmberJohn’s egg Triathlon acceptable.

The bean bag toss showed the US domination in back yard games. Amber and John went first as defending champions. Team MollyHans stepped it up and sunk two easy alley oops. AmberJohn answered back with some great field goals. Molly missed an easy free throw and it looked like team AmberJohn would have another title, when Hans unleashed his famous Slamma Jamma for the win.
You could cut the tension with a knife as the two US teams competed in the last event. The Bale Roll isn’t for couch potatoes, but with the finely tuned athleticism representing our great nation, it was going to be the event to watch.
Team MollyHans won the toss and decided to go last. AmberJohn had a bit of a bobble at first and then amazed the crowd with fine flipping over the bale until John let go of Ambers hands and she lost her balance and fell on her back. What a disappointing finish for Team AmberJohn.
But that did not guarantee Team MollyHans the win! After rolling the bale Hans lifted it high over his head while Molly showed how flexible she could be as she wowed the judges and the audience. Team MollyHans broke the Olympic record for most points scored in the bale roll.
And these are the events that led up to Molly wearing the gold metal.
