Spirit of Competition

The one thing i've always wondered about this pet is, why, if the event is repeatable every Even year, is it a FoS. Either they added it becaus it's only obtained every 2 years OR every event will have a new pet, i'm hoping for 2nd, anyone else any thoughts?

In response to Netzty, I'm thinking and hoping that every Olympics will bring a new pet tailored to the theme of that country's Olympic games. They picked a Chinese Dragon for the Beijing games. The 2010 Winter Games are in Vancouver and the 2012 Summer Games are in London. I have no clue on what potential pets they would choose for either of those cities.... well a tiny maple leaf could be neat :)

Reply to JonoHexx: Sometimes plants show up as pets, so I'd be willing to bet a thistle (seen on the binder of Encyclopedia Britannica, for example) would be a good candidate durring the upcoming London games. According to lore, a surprise invasion on the ancient British Isles was discovered when one of the barefoot soldiers stepped on a thistle and let out a scream.

Hmm if the pets are related to the country of origin my vote is for a Beaver for canada in 2010 and a Badger for UK in 2012 all though a Bull Dog would probably work too. Got to love this pet its the only chinese dragon available outside of Asia.

I was Deployed when this pet was came out I hate that i missed it and the amani bear. Maybe they'll make this pet attainable again at somepoint

I hope we will get an elk or tiny seal for Vancouver. But for London....i dont know. Maybe a version of the mascot of the summer games. whatever it is.

The only pet I have on an alt that my main does not have; so I'm not sure if I want them to bring it back or do a new pet for the next Olympics. I just know I hated all the PVP I did—with no pet to show for it—on my main (and I don't want to go through that again).

A Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen!

Well for the Canadian one maybe a moose? For England a bulldog would be sweet.

Maybe London could have an animated teacup?

I wonder what the pet would be for the 2016 games in Rio....

I hate this pet. Now before I get flamed for that, let me explain.
When I first started playing WoW, I had one toon. When the Olympics came around I pushed my hardest to get this little guy. One of the best pets in the game. Hands down.
About a month later, I realized that I sucked at playing a warrior and started up a shaman, who became my main toon. Now everytime I log on to my warrior (he's been down-graded to banker) I'm reminded that my main will never have this most-awesome of pets.

I love this pet, but I hope that only the tabard remains the same for each Olympics, and we get a new, location-appropriate, pet each time. A moose or beaver for Canada? (We already have a polar bear, obviously.) Maybe a Canadian goose?
