Title: Penalty Box Artist: zess [DeviantArt Gallery] It's not that Gregor is a thug...he just gets a little overzealous about protecting his goal, ya know? :D	6	5
Title: USA! Liberty Artist: Erica "DeTragedy" This is Becky (named after Becky Hammon. See www.wnba.com). After playing with the WBA New York Liberty team for 2 years she was honored to accept a position to represent the USA on the Women's Basketball team at the Olympics. She can't wait to show off her slam dunk and her American pride.	0	0
Title: Olympan Weightlifter (Nightstone) Artist: Jenny Blue [Side 7] They have to alter the events just a bit for a gargoyle.	1	3
Title: Archery Artist: Ryhanna(baby bat)Tittle [deviantart] ok i know it's not very good but i was running out of time and was getting no where with her. I used a picture of me to model it and i had a rather hard time with the bow but here she is a gargoyle doing the sport i love so much.	0	0
Title: Bobbleheads Artist: Spacebabie [The Tower of X] I was trying to think of an idea for the topic when I looked up to the top of the computer work station, where we keep three baseball bobbleheads. I thought turning a few members of the clan into baseball bobbleheads would be fun.	0	2
Title: Ancient Olympics Artist: Nebulan [DA Gallery] Not really into sports much, but I love ancient greek stuff!	4	1
Title: Soccer Practice Artist: Limefishys This is my first entry for the MGC! This guy is practicing what's known as a 'bicycle kick' in soccer. They're fun to do if you can do them, but they can sometimes hurt, since you inevitably end up landing on your backside.	0	0
Title: Log Rolling Artist: Angie "Jessie" McClelland [DakotaAngie's DeviantART Gallery] I wanted to do something different. I enjoy watching the 'Outdoor Games', a competition where lumberjacks can show their stuff. One of the really fun events to watch is the Log Rolling competition. So here are a couple good ol' Canadian gargs having a bit of fun. I think one of them's about to get really wet. Heh.	15	9
Title: diving for USA Artist: timberwolf0316 i'm a diver on the swim team and thought this might be neat to draw	4	0
Title: Synchronized Sinking Artist: Shanrelle [Deviantart] Since most of the events are held in the daytime, there really isn't much a gargoyle can do when in stone form. So, during the night, they can participate in various outdoor sports, but during the day the special synchronized sinking event is held. Here Brooklyn and Broadway are competing for the gold. Isn't it exciting!	6	25
Title: Swim Practice Artist: Crystal (Scorch), Comber [Elfwood (Fanart)] Well, I've lurked around this site for awhile, and thought I'd try entering for once. Since I was once a swimmer, I couldn't help but do a swimming picture. Heh, 5 years ago, before the invention of the Aquablade suits, speedos were all the swim boys had to wear, and since you don't see very many competitive swimmers wearing them anymore, I had to draw my garg in one. By the way, I am aware of how much drag the garg's wings would create, but since he'd probably be racing against other gargs and not people, they would all have a similar amount drag, and so the race would still be pretty equal. . .slower, but equal. Besides XD I'm sure they have come up with creative ways to reduce the drag.	7	0
Title: The Quarryman Hammer Throw Artist: Spike [The Rockaway] While Goliath's away, the Trio will play.... L	8	40
Title: The Discus Thrower Artist: Lioness-gargress [DeviantArt Gallery] Of course this was coming. We all remember in “Reawaking” when Brooklyn used those hubcaps as Frisbees. So Frisbees, Olympics, Discus Throw. I’m knot shore if the discus throw is included in this years Olympics or knot but at lest he looks good doing it right. The light effects are done using PhotoImpact. The picture was done with prismacolor pencils. Hears some information on discus throwing.	1	0
