There has been talk about heroism earlier, but Shoreigh Weilla, Oshean Willern, and Wrenna Morlowe will have to excuse us for letting them step down a notch or two for the King of the Fourteenth day, the gilded Cannard Sedgwaugh! Seemingly out of the blue he rushes in and snatches the gold from the favourite of the event, Bowdonia's Andre Hespert. On top of that it was close to one more medal but unfortunately Ean Wade didn't quite make it all the way, and had to be content with an honourable 4th place.
Our reporter talked to Cannard just after the gold medal was secured.
(R) Congratulations, Cann! How does it feel?
(C) Thank you very much! Well, what can I say? It's incredible, it still hasn't sunk in yet. I'll probably wake up in the morning, wondering if it was a all a dream.
(R) But you have a piece of gold to prove it.
(C) Yes, I sure do!
(R) Did you even in your wildest dream expect anything like this?
(C) Can't say I did. My ambition was getting at least within the top 10, of course I had hopes of a medal, but what athlete doesn't. This just exceeds all my hopes and expectations.
(R) So, what got you in this place?
(C) Hard to tell. I'm obviously at a peak, and everything has worked out great, training, the mood of the team, the pepping, and of course the lack of pressure. I guess that's the advantage of being unknown on the international scene. During the run itself everything seemed to click. I may has missed some fractions of a second at some spots, but evidently nothing worth mentioning, really. In all I'd say it was a close to perfect run.
(R) Well, we will naturally be expecting more of you in the future after this.
(C) I have no doubts about that, but I do believe I have the psychological strength for it. I've always been the stubborn one. It's a tough event though, and a lot can happen. But anyway, I wouldn't be in this place without the constant support of my club at home and my trainer, Perwy Sedgwaugh, who is actually my dad, and of course, my sponsors.
(R) Is it a good thing to have your dad as a trainer?
(C) Sometimes yes, sometimes no *smile*. But we've always had a great relationship. He has never pressured me into anything I didn't want to do, and has always been there for me through thick and thin. He's my biggest fan, I believe.
(R) And evidently he has passed on some good genes to you.
(C) Yea, *chuckle*, he was one of Lathes Troy's very best some 30 years ago.
(R) So, this is the second medal to Ternham in these games, Oshean Willern's bronze being the first. What's so special with that place?
(C) Well, hard to tell, really, but skiing has always been a big thing there, it's basically what we do all winter, we're practically born onto the skis *hehe*. Joking apart, There's a lot of voluntary work behind it, parents helping out at no cost, and of course generous contributions from the Hundred moot and local sponsors, etc.
(R) Apparently it has paid off well. Good luck in the future, I'm sure the whole country will be following you from now on.
(C) Thanks.

For one day Wrenna Morlowe was the best Somery could offer on the female side in the games, a very honourable 4th place in the Women's Giant Slalom. Today, though, the Norther Troyds once again showed their dominance in the Somerish team, as the trio Shawra Fruith/Mish Pobith/ Loridea Sheveraugh, all from Hundred Wendawe, Dellswyshire, took their place on the rostrum after the women's ski jump team event, making their silver medal the third Somerish medal in these games. Hats off and bow to these fabulous women! Somery has definitely not made a fool of itself in these Vex Games. We are in no way vexed!
