Phil the Frog at the Sydney Olympics

That's right, Phil is at the Olympics in Sydney, Australia. He was called down to cheer on the runners at the events. Phil said he was going to try to enter in the Long Jump competition, but there probably is a height requirement. Phil is making the rounds as he supports every runner, gives advice, and basically sends a message to the participants from the rest of the runners around the world - one that says "Wow, you are faster than I am!"

This is a picture of Phil at the Sydney stadium. The first frog in history to be invited to attend the Olympic Track and Field events.

Phil enjoyed his stay, and he would like to thank Delly Carr from Sportshoot for taking such good care of him, and being his host while in Sydney.

"The important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part
The important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle
The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well"
Pierre baron de Coubertin (1896-1925)
Founder of the International Olympic Committee
