[@murphymmc]

Ahh, shades of "The Miracle on Ice" of the 1980 Winter Olympics.

[@krystie730]

Enjoying this. Love that a real person is reading it. Avoiding AI. Much appreciated!

[@AlleluiaElizabeth]

That announcer sounds a lot like the alien who owned Anakin Skywalker. I don't hate it, mind you. Just can't get the image out of my head now. lol

[@blazingarrows6117]

Thank you for another well read story!

[@F.n.I]

1:46 more like a stubborn refusal to die but sure

[@jonuiuc]

Wouldn't the aliens also benefit from lower gravity if they were performing better at higher gravity?

[@AenVegra]

Lack of flexibility and versatility.

[@mycroft16]

Depends on their training. The humans had been training for it.

[@lrmackmcbride7498]

Humans have a unique mix of fast and slow twitch muscle fibers. Even among earth animals. It allows us flexibility a gorilla for example lacks.

[@josefhyatt2780]

I keep thinking of Jesse Owens and the movie "Chariots of Fire"....

[@GrigoriZhukov]

More like Jim Thorpe or George Patton (but ya gotta a nerd to know about that last one)

[@josefhyatt2780]

@GrigoriZhukov I had Patton's Hollywooded speech memorized by the time I was 6 years old bro.!

[@GrigoriZhukov]

@josefhyatt2780 You the right guy, now. Sniff out the story.

[@josefhyatt2780]

@GrigoriZhukov he medaled in the pentathlon didn't he?

[@GrigoriZhukov]

@josefhyatt2780 yes, cheated out of a higher medal...euro bigotry.

[@Adrian_shepherd927]

HOORAY 🎉🎉

[@renagenic]

A bronze, silver, 5th and gold in MIXED ALIEN RELAY. (which g turned into a human only team after they won) nothing else?? Wow, this AI is so PC, it gave us a PARTICIPATION TROPHY story. As if they SWEPT IT.

[@carlfranz6805]

Why is the alien announcer French?

[@AenVegra]

Mafia alien.

[@helljumper2565]

Oui oui
