Media:Strength Competition loses some Zeal

0761 Strength Competition loses some Zeal Knox Pooley 04/28/2003 04/28/2053 April 24th, 2053. The second annual Best of the Best competition hosted by Pride Tien Leung of the Dragon Palace and Miss Nicky Winters opened with the Strength Competition Thursday night. There were four finalists in the first event which is sponsored by Nike and Adidas. The contestants were Tundra, Zeal Zundares, Princess Jundarra of Verone, and Stat. The strength competition was a tug-of-war contest. Special cables were made to resist the tension caused by the enormous forces tearing at it caused by the competitors.

The first matchups were Zeal Zundares vs Princess Jundarra and Tundra vs Stat. The event was quickly over for Tundra as Stat pulled the poor grounds keeper of the Dragon Palace past the marker. Tundra gave a big effort and it was seen with all the blisters on his hand. Miss Nicky Winters was at hand to help heal the wounds. In the other matchup, the spectators saw a fierce competition. Zeal and Princess Jundarra was pulling back and forth with each of them gaining advantage several times. In the end, Zeal proved to be the stronger and moved on the face Stat.

The final match was Zeal Zundares vs Stat! Stat just used one hand to hold the cable while Zeal pulled with all her strength! Clearly this was a mismatch. But was Stat being overconfident? Only time could tell. Meanwhile the third place match was forfeited to Princess Jundarra when Tundra decided to not compete. Perhaps his injuries was too much for him. While watching the final event, Princess Jundarra ate a live mouse, much to the dismay of the crowd. She was booed and heckled. Fortunately, strong words from the Princess silenced the active watchers. After some time, Stat decided it was time and yanked Zeal accross the marker along with the cable. The loser of the match flew right into the arms of Stat who wanted a victory kiss. Fortunately for Zeal, she was saved by Syphon who came to the competition late. He missed the strength event but hopefully will be able to compete the other three events so that he may have a chance to become the grand champion!

As of now the Stat is in the lead with 3 points with this victory. Zeal is second with 2 points and Princess Jundarra is third with 1 point. Fourth place finishes and below do not garner any points. With three more events to take place its still anyone's game, but Stat helped himself with a good start.

(Pictures of the competition are in the news along with some of spectators. One photograph is of Pride's Sister Serena Leung, who is sitting with Xavier and Mika. Serena is giving Mika a glance while Xavier is sitting there happily seemingly oblivious to the tension between the two women.)

The next competition is the Accuracy Shoot. This will be held on Thursday at 8PM EST Next Week. @mail Pride for INFO and Contact. Good Luck to All!
