Balance Beam

The balance beam should be an interesting event for the cats; with my bruddy, Happy-Go-Lucky, at what apprears to be a disadvantage of having a two inch tail. But I got an exclusive interview with him this morning. I can assure you that his diminutive tail size will in no way hinder his performance. I also spoke to my sissyfur, Luna; I had wanted to ask her if there was a secret to her calm demeanor and all she would respond with is "No comment". She is such a touch nut to crack. I expect her to do well in all of her events, she is always so instinctive and focused.
Ok, well it seems its time for the competition to begin.
Up first is Abby: she mounts and perfoms the mandatory turns and backflips, nice form and great show of balance, now she spins around and gives the crowd a real show of her athleticism.
Next, we have Bangles, all the way from Sing-a-purr; he mounts, perfoms the mandatory turns and backflips makes an excellent dismount, well done Bangles.
Our third competitor is Buddy; not much is known about Buddy, but that was one impressive display of balance and poise, should score very high with the judges.
Up next is, little Dolce; don't let her youth and size fool you she is performing up to all expectations and not a bobble one; way to go Dolce.
Gemini is next; he mounts, he spins, he flips, never have I seen such height in a backflip.
"I must ask you, Gemini, Is there a secret training technique that you have implored that has helped your performance?"
"No, Petey, it is just the clear mountain air that has inspired me, whoo! Yeah"
"Thank you, Gemini."
The next competitor is my bruddy, HGL; he mounts, spins, flips, turns and flip/turns. WOW, I guess that having a bob tail is an advantage, who knew you could make moves like that on a balance beam. Needless to say, I'm impressed.
I guess it is only fair that HGL be followed by our sissyfur, Luna; she has practiced religiously for the last several months and it shows. Call me biased, but I believe that we just witnessed the perfomance of event, I only hope that the judges are not clouded by HGL's unorthodox display.
Mouse is up next; don't let the name fool you, Mouse is all cat; she mounts turn, flip, spin, and turn again and now the dismount, flawless absolutely flawless. I don't envy those judges.
Patches Lady is up next, she is representing her home state well; she mounts, moves through the compulsatory spins and turns with ease; she is very much at home here and it shows, since it is her home and all. Well done Patches Lady.
Up next is Piper, another relative unknown in the Catolympic circle; but not to be outdone, Piper mounts and performs the routine with confidence, she is not to be shaken by her
inexperience, well done and should score nicely.
Princess Mia is the next to compete; she mounts, turns, flips, spins and throws down the gauntlet and raises the bar with another stellar performance.
Two competitors left and next up is Shadow, another unknown, but with the prowess and obvious experience to contend for a medal in this event; I must say that I have been duly impressed by all of the competitors of these games.
Our last participant is Victor Tabbycat; he's looking fine this afternoon and seems to be well prepared for the contest, he mounts, flips spins, turns and here is the dismount, well done Victor, well done. I do not envy those judges one bit; it will be hard to decide the winner of this event. All the contestants showed us grace and poetry in motion. It makes me proud to be called a feline when surrounded by athletes like this. This has been Petronious the Arbiter and I thank you all. Good luck and bless us all.
