Athlete Down

Teams Catfish and Frog might have been concentrating a little too hard on Team Osprey and forgotten about Team Heron which behaved very badly in today's competition.  One of Team Heron's newer, unseasoned members apparently forgot that the team was supposed to abide by the "grab and release" rule.  Fatal frog grabbing has been banned since the scandal of 1954 when an entire frog colony was swallowed during the games.

Caught on camera, the miscreant seemed unapologetic and was quickly banished from the team.  Team Frog clearly was devastated and removed its members to a secluded area of the arena to ponder its continued participation in the games.  To have a disaster of such monumental proportions so early in the games has caused a great deal of anxiety.

The "grab & release" rule does not apply to catfish.
