JACKSONVILLE, Fla – To celebrate the official start of the Olympic Games, we wanted to get in the competitive spirit and try out some less conventional games on The Morning Show.
These are events you won’t see in Tokyo.
You might have seen our friends Mark, Eden and Rance trying their hands in some Not So-lympics throughout the week on River City Live.
Going for gold (or really, just good enough), we tested our accuracy and ingenuity in the Paper Airplane Toss (Oh, Lena... haha)....
Stretched our brain cells in Mental Gymnastics (some stretched more than others)....
Got into a good rhythm with a Hula Hoop Marathon (go, Lauren, go!)...
And faced off in a Rock, Paper, Scissors challenge.
We also had team events, where The Morning Show team (minus Lauren) faced off against the crew from River City Live, including Bean Bag Toss...
And Tug of War. This one was unique -- because while it’s not an Olympic event today -- it was from Paris 1900 to Antwerp in 1920.
So who took home the Golden Medallion (Not-quite gold medal)? Check it out in the video at the top of this article!
