Odyssey and the Olympics, Part 1

G'mornin', govnors! If you're one of the one billion people watching the Olympics, you might've heard that it's the most watched program on TV! So naturally, everyone in Odyssey's watching it. Which raises the question: what episodes relate to the summer olympics and what are all our favorite characters watching?

Whit's Flop - baseball

Heroes - basketball

The Winning Edge - softball

Better Late Than Never - volleyball

And the Glory - baseball

The Fundamentals - basketball

The Secret Weapon - baseball

B-TV: Obedience - baseball

The Defining Moment - baseball

Pink is Not My Color - basketball

All-Star Witness - softball

Target of the Week - baseball

The Owlnapping - basketball

EDIT: More examples thanks to a comment from Erin!

Poor Loser - volleyball

Memories of Jerry - track (with an emphasis on high jump)

Blessings in Disguise - tennis

Secrets - tennis (and reference to Connie being a table tennis champion)

My Brother's Keeper - baseball

First Love - baseball

A is for Attitude - basketball

Sound off on your favorite AIO sports episodes and let me know which ones I missed (thanks again, Erin!) and your ideas for future sports episodes!

I'll be gone next week from Monday-Saturday at CBM Camp. Ally's coming back today and I'm guessing she'll have something to share while I'm gone! Sorry this post was a little shorter...but I have a busy weekend. The New Kid in Town is partly done; it should be completed by the beginning of August. 

Part II: What Our Favorite Characters are Watching...COMING SOON.

  1. Poor Loser - volleyball

    Memories of Jerry - track (specificly high jump)

    Blessings in Disguise - tennis

    Secrets - tennis (and reference to Connie being a table tennis champion)

    My Brother's Keeper - baseball

    First Love - baseball

    A is for Attitude - basketball

    Those are some sports episodes. A sport that I'd like to see Odyssey bring in is swimming. It's becoming a more famous sport in the States and around the world. It can also be just as intense as a basketball game. (I'm from a swimmer family.)

    1. Wow, I missed a lot. XD Hey, thanks; I hope you don't mind if I added your examples and your name to the post! I'm a swimmer too, and I would love it if they added that to Odyssey! The only example we've heard of so far is when Alex Jefferson tells Whit that he's going to join swim team at the end of the Novacom Saga in Exit. Maybe some new kid can come in and swim! Or one of the Ryan, Pete, and friends could be a triple threat (besides baseball and basketball).

      NOTE: Did you see Natalie Coughlin swim for possibly the last time at the Olympics yesterday?

    2. No that's cool. There's probably more that we missed. Hopefully someone else will comment and enlighten us.

      We'll see. The AIO Team is always trying new thing, but it seems that baseball and basketball have been the sports that they used the most. i.e. the little league Coyotes baseball team.

      I did not see the race. I sadly haven't got see much of the Olympics since they started.

  2. Hey, Ko's, when will What Our Favorite Characters Are Watching be out? I'm eagerly anticipating it! Anyway, I can't think of any episodes you missed! I think you and Erin got them all!

    1. Since the Olympics are over, we weren't sure if we should still do the post. But if you and another reader or two requests it, we'd be happy to work on that!
