Penguin Olympics Hopes To Celebrate Our Flippered Friends, Avoid Steroid Scandal

You can't tell us those penguins aren't juiced.

No, people who love sports AND penguins, you aren't dreaming. This is a real thing. Granted, it's happening in New Zealand, and like everything in New Zealand, it seems like a magical tale brought to life by Peter Jackson, and is probably happening in an impossibly green meadow. The world's first Penguathalon is being held just outside of Auckland, and according to The Telegraph, will see "penguins go beak to beak in five icy events – football, Frisbee, surfing, swing ball and waddle races." We hope this does more for New Zealand's tourism industry than the toothbrush fence.
