Prerecorded Segment
Announcer: Current Olympic Champion Red Zeeland for the Electrum Bank International--
Redd Zeeland: Choosing which diversified joint holding stock company to choose from is a bit like short track skating. I'm here on behalf of Electrum Bank International to talk about your superannuation's variance of hedged portfolio. That's why I choose them for suiting my macroeconomic high-growth financing needs. They provide extensive wealth-creating retirement holdings - now that is unbelievable! I've seen many people over the years choosing the wrong consolidated reporting with the incorrect correlation coefficient - you've got to select the right consolidated reporting techniques! Whether you're talking about liquidity ratios or superannuation, the EBI is fast and strong - a bit like my skating. That's why I choose Electrum Bank International.
Short Track Highlights
Maxine Day: First up, is the 500m final, mixed bag of competitors - Maĉia in stunning form - and Nico Heap is a favourite. Electrumite Redd Zeeland is a surprise entrant, having crashed out in the 1k, joined with him is Taeshan's John Williams who won in a photo finish against Red, Zharkov is in there, and a Pervert Chaser. And bang! Their off, Redd to a fast start, coming in second, and Maĉia up front - he's dictating the race, Heap and Zharkov are fading ever so slightly, two laps to go in this pure sprint race - Redd, what is he doing! He's getting in on the inside, Maĉia tries to squeeze him out, but it's all over! Oh my god, Zeeland is in the lead, and he's furthering his speed! Williams straight on his tail, and Zeeland gets first! Macia I think has just made it past Williams and those are the medal winners.
Maxine Day: In our final race for the day, and it's the women's 1000m race, Mary Quentin, the last of the Quentin sisters, and who excruciatingly got 4th in the relay with her sisters is shooting for gold. She's in stunning form and she might have just peaked at the right time, with Lady Soldier GUGUGAGA being the only person who beat her. Republican van Gemeren was the other person in Quentin's race to advance, and so did Laitanese Grachyov, Patistani Hafiz and Kytlerian Slijngaard - now that's a mouthful. Great expectations for van Gemeren, and big cheers, while boos for Quentin. Simple start, Slijngaard takes the early lead - Hafiz looks to be a threat and now storms ahead, now van Gemeren and Quentin move up to second and third, pushing Slijngaard to fourth, and four laps to go - very quick race, can Quentin hold on for a medal spot? Hafiz now burnt out and losing ground, first overtaken by van Gemeren, then Quentin and Slijngaard, just way too much power - an amateur mistake. Two laps to go and the home crowd is going loud, could this be another medal for them? van Gemeren looking back, she sees a rebounding Quentin who has bade her time, the second fastest qualifier - can she steal it from the last lap? An audacious move on the inside.... and it connects! She's in and storming through, first place for Electrum amid boos from the crowd.
Rosalind_Corby: I'm really proud for my team, I did this to prove to myself that anyone, no matter how old can still be an Olympian 1/2
Rosalind_Corby: ...and that you should always follow your dreams, no matter what people say.
