I posted earlier (http://www.skatingforums.com/showthread.php?t=27915) two pictures (one at the bottom of the thread) of ducks figure skating. At that point, it was hard to tell whether the ducks were practicing spirals or figures.
As it turns out, those two snapshots were not coincidental!
It has been a closely guarded secret up till today that ducks are, in fact, preparing to send their own figure skating team to the 2018 winter olympics.
Humans were not supposed to know about it until they'd announce it at the last possible moment to throw their competition off-balance and increase their chances of a gold medal. However, our sneaky reporters have not only unmasked this evil conspiracy, they have even managed to take some more pictures. You can clearly see the progress the ducks have made since last month thanks to daily stretching- and training sessions!
I'm starting to fear for the future of the figure skating sport. After all, with wings, it shouldn't be a problem to do a quadruple axel, or even a quintuple one... We humans just might find outselves out-performed by ducks in no time!

It is my only hope that figure skating rinks across the world deny ducks entry to their premises, in order to deny them training opportunities during the summer months. We human figure skaters need to stick together! ;)
