Today is the big day as the athletes from Vulshain took part in the VI Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony's Parade of Nations here at the Rutian Grounds in Ashton, Krytenia. Both men and women, whether they are human, Lobo, or Vulpine, wore outfits in the colors of the Vulshainian national colors: blue, gold, and white. Men wore dark blue jackets and gold pants with white stripes down the sides, while the women wore simple gold and blue dresses decorated in white lilies. However, the various fur patterns and markings of the lobo and vulpine athletes created a dazzling array which awed spectators and viewers around the world. Although, Faddei Varnava, one of the humans from Vulshain and is competing in the Alpine Skiing event, caught many spectators' attentions due to his blue and green dyed hair. "Blue and green are my favorite colors," Faddei said after the parade when asked about his dyed hair.
Each athlete wore an armband bearing the Vulshainian National Seal on it.
Young Yinsya Mayana, who is competing in the Figure Skating and Snowboarding events, proudly carried her nation's flag for all to see. The Vulshainian athletes waved to spectators as well as viewers back home.
As the camera focuses on the athletes as they marched behind the large Virabi delegation, a few Vulshainian athletes hold up posters written with various messages, such as 'Hi Mom and Dad!" or 'Vulshain For the Gold!', written in Unonian, Lobonese, English, or Russian. Many others wave at viewers. Even the flag bearer herself seems to have been caught up in the moment as she proudly waves the Vulshainian flag for all to see. She almost loses her balance, if not for the assistance from Coline Konstancja and Volker Wenzel. They returned to their spots in the parade as they waved at the camera after helping the flag bearer regained her balance. Right before the camera zooms out, Yinsya waves the flag again in front of the camera.
"We are all proud of representing Vulshain," Yinsya commented after the parade. The athletes are ready to bring honor and glory to their nation in the coming days as each one competes in various events.
