The Burning Crusade
Patch 2.4.3 | Posted: August 7, 2008
As of August 2023, this pet can also be purchased from the Trading Post. Goods from this in-game feature rotate monthly, so this pet may not always be available.

Blizzard introduced an event called The Spirit of Competition to commemorate the 2008 Olympic Games. Throughout the event, this pet was randomly mailed to players who were victorious after any PvP battleground. There was a 1 in 8 chance it would be mailed to a player for each battleground won.

Not a fan of how they just give everyone pets that was really rare. Takes away the fun for those who had it. And eventually the new ones who gets it too, because everyone will have it

I think you can still buy it even if you already have it because... you can own 3 of them.

But is this new one Cageable/Tradeable?

I've had the Spirit of Competition pet since 10/14/08. The Trading Post doesn't show it with a checkmark next to it, meaning it would allow me to buy it and that it doesn't think I own it. Is the Trading Post pet different in some way?

I am SO excited right now, FINALLY we are getting a pet on the trading post that was and has been unavailable for years (beyond the amount of years i've played, and I have played a lot.) :D Seriously can not wait!

The Spirit of Competition is returning for the August 2023 trading post! What a great surprise, after all these years I thought all hope of getting this pet was lost!

My niece, who introduced me to WoW, got one of these. Years later, her parents insisted she share her account with her sister, "since you don't even play anymore", not understanding the lull between expansions. Sister deleted the character with the pet.

This pet is one of the first I remember owning.  Unfortunately, my son and I shared an account back in 2008, and I moved my main toon to a new account so he and I could play together.  Now this pet is on his account (my original) and I am without it.  He is playing Classic and could not care less about collecting pets.  I tried to get Blizzard to move the pet, but they won't help.  It is a source of deep regret.

Been playing since 2nd week of Vanilla. All I did was PVP (was a Blood Guard back in Vanilla even though I had school and after school activities). I played and played and played and never got the mail for this pet even though the sole thing I did was PVP. I got the ugly tabard. This pet will forever depress me.

I still regret never getting this pet, I figured that I wouldnt allow myself to get stressed trying to get it since it would be a pet that would return in the future, since that no longer holds true - evidently so - guess I was sorely mistaken to make such an assured assumption. One day maybe.

I played like 3 battles in pvp long ago, just on a whim and I got this and a tabard in my mail. Put it in my bank and left it there. Was very happy when I could battle with this lil guy!

OL 2016 starts very soon. I hope to see Blizzard give us a chance to get the pet this year. My internet connection was down one month in 2008 while moving, so I lost the event. My brother got it tho' and he dont even like the pet battle. He tried to cage it, but was unable.

 

I miss this little fellow...

I got this one on a twink rogue I had at that time. Since then it was not learnable or account wide I lost my claim on it. I deleted that twink years ago to make something I did actually played.

 

Now I hate myself for having done that.

This is a great pet if you get the chance to get one. I have mine always in my battles as my backup while I'm leveling other pets. Haven't figured out a name for him but he looks a lot like Mushu from Mulan :)

@Thetaxman, You can absolutely prove it. Look in your achievements under Feats of Strength. There are 2 achievements that are tied to the 2008 Olympics. One is the Competitor's Tabard. A rather ugly tabard IMO, that is white with the 5 olympic circles on it. And  Spirit of Competition - Proud owner of a Spirit of Competition Pet from the 2008 Spirit of Competition. Having received this on any character on your account will show it as an achievement on all of your characters.
