Mogolympics Results Round One — Cycling
Round One: Cycling – Build a biker outfit to compliment the Chopper.
Catwynn heard rumors that an illicit cross faction event was going down at the, where else, Slaughtered Lamb. It’s THAT kind of place. She told me the Stormwind guards took one look at this bunch when they rode in the gates and not a weapon was lifted. I can see why, smart guards. This is one tough crowd. A large view of every competitor’s outfit can be seen in the video if viewed on You Tube. At least until the copyright squad raids the basement. They are all incredible, and the baddest butts to sit on a chopper in all of Azeroth.
Criteria for judging events was left up to the judges. In my case that meant the outfit had to sell the event. I had to believe you were the baddest biker in all the land. And these were some bad to the bone bikers. Not surprising though when you think about what they’re up against on practically a daily basis. Demons, Old Gods, Deathwing, Murlocs … see what I mean?
This competition was incredibly tight, as I’m sure all the rounds will be, we have a gold metal winner and a three-way tie for silver! Without further ado, here they are!
Winning gold in this tight race is the competitor representing Lower City, known to me as competitor #1, but I’m sure you know who you are! Congratulations on a wonderful outfit!
Representing Orgrimmar, competitor #8 wins a silver in an astounding three-way tie! Great job!
Competitor #20 representing the Kirin Tor wins silver! It’s obvious the ladies really know how to dress up their choppers!
Our third silver medalist representing Gnomeregan is competitor #34, that Goblin has attitude!
There you have it, round one of the Mogolympics was unbelievably close. I have no doubt that the other rounds will be just as close. The crowd roars! A standing ovation for all!

Woot! Fantastic outfits!
Congratulations to the winners – they look awesome!
August 15, 2012 at 11:22 am
They really were all more awesome than we even expected, they nailed it!
August 15, 2012 at 10:48 am
Fierce! Congratulations to the medalists, and to everyone who entered.
August 15, 2012 at 11:23 am
Judges had an OMG moment when we saw them all, all of them were just so good!
August 15, 2012 at 11:32 am
OMG, some of my favourites won! That’s so exciting!
Wait, I was one of the judges… >.>
Congratulations to the medalists! You have no idea how close all the scores were. I’m a bit surprised we didn’t have a bunch of people tying for gold. The outfits were all so amazing.
August 15, 2012 at 11:34 am
I know! I was so happy to see some of my favorites win! Couldn’t wait to find out!

[…] The painstaking process of judging has come to an end (for this round, at least), and the results are finally up for the Cycling event! Go check out all the entries and find out who the winners are over at Tome of the Ancient. […]

Every entrant was exceptional – I am honored!
August 15, 2012 at 12:35 pm
I wish I’d known about GANGNAM STYLE, I would have played that for them too!
August 15, 2012 at 12:58 pm
Eeeep! Those are some awesome outfits!
August 15, 2012 at 1:08 pm
I know! You 46 competitors made it really hard on us! No quarter given no mercy shown. lol!
August 15, 2012 at 1:17 pm
That was a great video! Can we expect the same sort of thing for all the other rounds? Grats to all the winners so far. They were all great outfits 🙂
Sounds like it’s just as exciting for the judges too 😀
August 15, 2012 at 1:40 pm
It’s easier for me to do them that way as then they can be viewed large instead of my pokey max 450px width.
It is as exciting! When we turn in the ballots we have to wait to find out too! The suspense kills me!
August 15, 2012 at 1:40 pm
Well, you can expect unique flavour for each event, but the presentation will no doubt vary based on event and location. Speaking of which, back to work I go…
August 15, 2012 at 1:42 pm
Does that mean another round might be imminent! Could it be?
August 15, 2012 at 1:53 pm
Well, there was a POST imminent. 😉
Probably not what most are hoping for, mind you.
August 15, 2012 at 1:41 pm
Great work. I totally expected Steppenwolf. Nicely done. 😀
Congratulations to the medalists, and that we had four in the first event should be an indication of the difficulty of judging. 🙂
August 15, 2012 at 1:43 pm
Thanks JD, to the Easy Riders of Azeroth!
August 15, 2012 at 1:52 pm

So, last week BTH and I were driving through South Dakota on our way back from our vacation, and we saw SO MANY BIKERS because of the Sturgis Rally. None of these entries would have looked out of place among that crowd!
I noticed that the chestpiece used by the gold medalist and the Goblin silver medalist came up pretty frequently, and that the Dark Iron Mail and Bloodmail Legguards came up a few times, too — hardly surprising, I think!
Grats to the medalists in this round, and I can’t wait to see the next one 😀
August 15, 2012 at 2:15 pm
Oh! My husband always has wanted to see a Sturgis Rally, he had to be happy with a T-shirt from a friend.
These would have fit right in for sure. I know, I can’t wait to see the next round either. I even get excited when I open up the next round’s folder of screen shots, and a little scared if they keep getting better I’ll be scoring all 10s.
August 15, 2012 at 4:09 pm
Grats to the winners! Those were some amazing outfits. 😀
I was wondering how you guys were going to fit that many entries in one post. The slideshow was a great idea!
August 15, 2012 at 4:18 pm
Aren’t they awesome! Don’t tell anyone but the video is easier for me, so I was being lazy, lol!
August 15, 2012 at 5:02 pm
Wow! That was some fierce competition! I can see why there was a tie, and my heart goes out to the poor judges who have to make the decisions.
Congratulations to the winners! You rocked it!
August 15, 2012 at 6:27 pm
They sure did rock it and they are continuing to from what I’ve seen of the other rounds!
August 15, 2012 at 6:47 pm
Woot, finally home and can see the images! They look amazing, and not at all surprising that it was hard to judge! Awesome work on the submissions and also to the judges. Congrats to the winners! 😀
August 15, 2012 at 7:52 pm
They really were amazing! and it doesn’t stop, they just keep doing it!
August 15, 2012 at 7:30 pm

August 15, 2012 at 9:19 pm
My internet at work is so slow it is refusing to load any images or videos 😦 So I will have to wait till I get home to look at these things! Can’t wait to go home!
August 16, 2012 at 6:18 am
OOOH Now i can see them! WoW those are great mogs, grats to all the winners! And LOL the video was great for seeing everyone’s!
August 16, 2012 at 7:10 am
Talk about suspense! I’m glad you finally got to see all the scary bikers!

[…] So it seems not only The Aldor representative who were inadvertently left out of the first round of the Mogolympics. It seems that a race known as the Hozen wanted to enter but they didn’t know how to get the the Slaughtered Lamb. […]
