Coming up...
Welcome to an important date in the planet calendar!
It’s the Planet Olympics!
All our competitors are just waking up.
Some will be brushing their teeth
Some will be eating breakfast,
Some will be training!
And some will be...still in bed?
Uranus! Uranus! Wake up.
It’s too early!
Come on. Up you get.
Never!
Hey Venus, which gold medal do you think you might win?
All of them!
All of them?
Well, I’m favourite for getting one gold medal though.
The gold medal for being the most annoying planet?
Yes, that one…..what!? Venus!
Welcome to the Planet Olympics.
Please welcome:
I may be small…
will he give it his all!
It’s Mercury.
I’m hot and rocky
but is she too cocky? It’s Venus!
I have lots to give and I’m where you live. It’s me, Earth!
I’m Red and I’m dusty…
but his skills are not rusty! Planet Mars!
I’m wide and I’m tall…
he’s the biggest of all. Jupiter!
Look at my rings...
they’re incredible things! Saturn!
We’ve been stood here for a while…
come on, give us a smile! Planet Uranus!
I’m far away and cold….
And windy I’m told! Yes, it’s Neptune.
Wooo, I’m the best at rhyming.
It’s all about timing!
What, Oh I see what you’re trying to do.
I’m trying to rhyme better than you.
I get it Venus, give it a rest.
Why would I, when I‘m the best.
Venus is this the place we need to attend?
Yes it is, my old, grumpy friend…
Welcome to The Planet Olympics!
Time for the first event! Hurdles!
Get ready to see the back of me Earth.
Why? Are you going home? Ha ha. High Five?
Brilliant!
On your marks...Get set…Go!
Wow, well done Mercury!
Wow Gold for Mercury!
But he went under the hurdles! How is that fair?
Really? You went through the hurdles. How is that fair?
Move on.
See, being the smallest planet in The Solar System does have its advantages!
Up Next! The Discus.
Who can throw the discus the furthest?
First up…..Planet Venus
Thank you! Thank you! Now watch this!
Wow! What a throw.
Next up, Planet Uranus.
Over there! You might want to move out the way?
Uh, unlucky Uranus. I think.
Did I win?
And lastly, Saturn.
Uh Saturn, where is your discus?
I don’t need one Venus dude. Watch this!
Um...
What was that?
With a new Solar System record! Saturn with the gold!
Having the biggest ring system, certainly helped you there Saturn!
Time for the next event! Weight Lifting!
Look at me! Look at me!
Oh come on!
Oooh my rings! What!?
Wooooo! I’ve won.
What!
The winner is mighty Jupiter!
Next up! The High Jump!
Right, here we go. My best event.
He’s going to run into the bar?
He’s going to run into the bar.
Yep, figures.
Wooo! Is that gold?
Hang on there Earth! Look who else is entering! **Mercury
Oh man!
Mars’ gravity is so low,
it means if you were on Mars you could jump
much higher than you could on Me.
Next up Karate!
Here’s our current undefeated champion of the Universe, Venus.
Uh I’m not entering this one. I have a note from my mum.
Uh…Nope.
Not for me!
Ummm.
Ok, I guess that means Venus is still the champion!
Yay! Go me, go me, go me!
Next up the 100m sprint final!
This is the one they all want, who will be fastest?
Hey Neptune, you’re facing the wrong way.
Am I?
Yes, you can’t run as fast backwards.
We’ll see. Don’t forget, I’m the windiest Planet in The Solar System.
On your marks! Get set! Go!
Hadn’t you better go Neptune?
Yes, plenty of time.
What was that…
Next up – Diving!
Hmm this is a long way down.
Come on Planet Uranus, you can do it!
Maybe another day.
Dear me. Is he for real?
Next, Jupiter.
Here I go.
Next up, me!
Wow, well done Earth!
Thanks Mars, being the only known planet with liquid water
helps me with diving!
Well, I think we’ve all won something.
Well except for Uranus
Look how sad he looks.
He looks the same as normal to be honest.
I have an idea!
There is one more event.
Oh nooo. What’s the point?
Next up, who is the grumpiest planet in The Solar System?
And the gold medal goes to…..Planet Uranus!!
It’s good when all your hard work and talent finally pays off.
What?!
