The Spirit of Competition 2008 Olymics World of Warcraft Event

very two years, the Spirits of Competition grow especially fervent, and draw close to the mortal realm. During such times, members of both the Alliance and Horde can honor the spirits and earn Competitor’s Tabards by seeking to defeat one another in the battlegrounds. For victory in competition, they can also earn the spirits’ favor in the form of a prized gold medal – and the special pet it summons.

Going for Gold

To participate in the Spirits of Competition event, simply enter any battleground and do your best to help your team win. All participants will earn a special tabard honoring their competitive spirit. The Competitor’s Tabard is a rare (blue) tabard and can be seen on the commoners proclaiming the event. For each victory, you’ll also have the chance of winning a gold medal as well. You’ll receive these rewards in the mail. Continue winning battlegrounds for the duration of the event to increase your chances for the gold medal

That’s taken directly from the World of Warcraft Official website, if you haven’t noticed already this past weekend there are a lot of people running around with tabards showing the multi-colored rings symbolizing the Olymics being held in China right now.

Keeping with that theme you can be awarded a mini chinese dragon pet for winning a Battleground during this event. It ends on the 24th so if you haven’t already recieved your pet and tabard I suggest you get in that PVP mood and go win one for the Gipper.
