More from the Marble Olympics

I posted earlier about an Olympics broadcast that’s far more worthy of your time than the one out of Beijing — consisting entirely of quirky marble contests.

We’re back in the Seven Seas Stadium today for the funnel race — a test not of speed, but of endurance.

Yesterday saw a disappointing performance from the host team the Oceanics (in an event one would think they’d excel at). Newcomers the Green Ducks, however, gave a surprisingly good performance.

Today’s funnel event is unpredictable, and will see marbles taking the lead and falling behind again in the blink of an eye. The Savage Speeders may have started off strong in these games, but can they keep up their momentum?
