A bit slow this week. I was planning to use a buddy read but it is so boring that it is slowing me up.

No worries, considering I'm being pretty ambitious with the page counts of my books

Just letting you know, I've finished my books

Ok! I'm going to need around a week more to finish my books.

No worries. It will give me time to catch up with some other challenges.

How are you going with your books Eunice? We are getting a bit behind

I just finished the chonker. Sorry about that. Going to check us in now

Fencing

馃弲 Fencing
Fencing is a combat sport that features sword fighting. The sport has both individual and team events; a team consists of three members or a fencing trio. There are three disciplines of modern fencing - the foil, the 茅p茅e, and the sabre (also saber). Each discipline uses a different kind of blade, which shares the same name as the discipline, and employs its own rules. The modern sport gained prominence near the end of the 19th century and is based on the traditional skill set of swordsmanship. Scoring points in a fencing competition is done by making contact with an opponent.

Event 1 ~ Team Fencing
1. Read a book that features a trio (3 main characters, 3 siblings, etc)
2. Read a book with some type of sword on the cover
3. Read a book that involves a combat sport or negative physical contact (not kissing)


馃弲 脡辫茅别
The 茅p茅e is a thrusting weapon like the foil, but heavier, with a maximum total weight of 775 grams. In 茅p茅e, the entire body is a valid target. The hand guard on the 茅p茅e is a large circle that extends towards the pommel, effectively covering the hand, which is a valid target in 茅p茅e. Like foil, all hits must be with the tip and not the sides of the blade.

Event 2 ~ 脡辫茅别
1. Read a book where two characters face off against each other (your interpretation)
2. Read a book with the letters EPEE in the title
3. Read a book that is 3rd in a series


馃弲 Foil
The foil is a light thrusting weapon with a maximum weight of 500 grams. The foil targets the torso, but not the arms or legs. The foil has a small circular hand guard that serves to protect the hand from direct stabs. As the hand is not a valid target in foil, this is primarily for safety. Touches are scored only with the tip.

Event 3 ~ Foil
1. Read a book where a character wears something that covers their face
2. Read a book with the letters FOIL in the title
3. Read a book that is part of a trilogy


馃弲 Sabre
The sabre is a light cutting and thrusting weapon that targets the entire body above the waist, including the head and both hands. Sabre is the newest weapon to be used in the sport. Like the foil, the maximum legal weight of a sabre is 500 grams. The hand guard on the sabre extends from hilt to the point at which the blade connects to the pommel. This guard is generally turned outwards to protect the sword arm from touches. Hits with the entire blade or point are valid.

Event 4 ~ Sabre
1. Read a book where a character uses protective gear (bullet-proof vest, etc)
2. Read a book with the letters SABRE in the title
3. Read a book with 3 of the same number in the page count and/or publication date

Which of these do you want Eunice?

I thought that I had included in the rules/instructions that books should be finished after the new events/tasks were posted. However, I can't find it in the rules. Since this is a long task that has lots of events/tasks, I've reconsidered and the update to the challenge rules is posted below.

Any books started on or after July 25 and completed during the dates of the challenge can be banked and used at any time in this challenge. Provided they have not already been used. Each book read can be used only 1 time in the Olympic Games challenge.

Should finish my last book by the in the next few days. How are you going Eunice?

I'm on my second-to-last book.

Just added my last book

I'll finish my last book in a day or 2

Just checking on how you are going Eunice? You haven't added any books for a while

I'll check us in soon

Equestrian

Equestrian events originated in Ancient Greece, where it was thought that a perfect partnership was needed if rider and horse were to survive in battle. Dressage was therefore developed as a way of training horses for war. The sport started with the Greek historian Xenophon in ~350 BCE, with his 鈥淥n Horsemanship鈥� manual, which was a guide for the military to evade the enemy in battle. Equestrian events appeared at the ancient Olympic Games as chariot racing, which was a daring and exciting spectacle. It became an Olympic sport in the 1912 games in Stockholm, where only military officers were allowed to compete and became open to civilians (men and women) in 1953. Equestrian comprises three disciplines at the Games, with men and women competing on equal terms. The sport has both individual and team events.


馃弲 Jumping
In the jumping discipline, riders and horses are timed as they jump over obstacles, with time penalties imposed for each obstacle toppled. Agility, technique and harmony between horse and rider are essential.

Jumping ~ Heat 1

2. Read a book where a character has to overcome an obstacle (real or metaphoric)
3. Read a book where someone or something is timed

Jumping ~ Heat 2
1. Read a book with a water hazard (or a pond) on the cover
2. Read a book with a well trained animal in the story

馃弲 Dressage
Dressage is the most advanced form of horse training, where horse and rider perform a series of artistic movements to music. Judges evaluate the ease and fluidity with which they move around the course. Dressage riders wear tall boots, white breeches, white gloves, and a tailcoat. Some national teams have matching tailcoats. Historically, top hats were traditional head attire for international dressage competitions. However, helmets became mandatory for all international dressage competitions in 2021.

Dressage ~ Heat 1

馃弲 Eventing
The third discipline of Eventing resembles an equestrian triathlon. It combines the two other events鈥攋umping and dressage鈥攚ith a third: cross-country, which consists of a long course combining solid and natural obstacles, drawing on the athletes鈥� endurance and experience. The horse and rider with the most versatile skills win the three events.

Target Sports

馃弲 Archery
Archery is the sport, practice, or skill of using a bow to shoot arrows. The word comes from the Latin arcus, meaning bow. Historically, archery has been used for hunting and combat. In modern times, it is mainly a competitive sport and recreational activity. A person who practices archery is typically called an archer, bowman, or toxophilite.

Archery requires great concentration and dexterity; archers must overcome their nerves as a single mistake can prove costly in competition. Targets are 122cm in diameter and positioned 70m away from the archers, who must shoot their arrows as close to the center of the target as possible in order to beat their opponents.

Archery
1. Read a book with a bow OR arrow on the cover
2. Read a book with the word BULLSEYE in the text
3. Read a book where a character must hit a target (does not have be related to shooting)


馃弲 Shooting
There are three Olympic shooting disciplines: rifle, pistol and shotgun. Rifle and pistol events take place on shooting ranges, where athletes aim at targets at distances of 10m, 25m and 50m. There are also three positions: kneeling (where the athlete goes down on one knee and rests the elbow on the other knee), prone and standing. Some events include all positions.

To hit the targets as accurately and as close to the center (the bullseye) as possible, marksmen use relaxation techniques to lower their heartbeat. Shotgun events are different in principle, as they take place outdoors. Marksmen shoot at flying targets fired from different angles and directions. This sport demands a great deal of concentration, decision making and sharp reflexes.

Rifle
1. Read a book with someone kneeling on the cover
2. Read a book with 10, 25 or 50 intact in the page count
3. Read a book with the MC first initial in RIFLE

Pistol
1. Read a book with a circle or target on the cover
2. Read a book where MC鈥檚 profession requires concentration or decision making
3. Read a book with author鈥檚 first initial in PISTOL

Shotgun
1. Read a book with an outdoor scene on the cover
2. Read a book with a character who has sharp or quick reflexes
3. Read a book where series starts with a letter in SHOTGUN
