[Day 4] High Jump

HIGH JUMP

Welcome to the high jump event of the second Panem Olympic Games! The track and field complex is located within the Olympic Arena, with stands for spectators traveling from Districts One, Two, Four, and the Capitol to watch the competitors. Television cameras are set up around as well, to broadcast the event to anyone staying home as well as to the other districts who aren't as lucky and competent as you all! Please be sure you stretch and warm up with your coaches before you're called to the starting block, and remember, make your district proud!

The execution of this event is somewhat more difficult than the other events. Feel free to roleplay your character making their jumps, warming up, etc as you would normally. However, instead of pasting a single code in once, you will be pasting different codes in for success/failure at different heights. You will have three chances to clear each height.


Everyone clears the 1.50m jump automatically. You get three tries to clear each following jump, with the odds getting worse for success each time. You will need to edit your post each time for multiple jumps / to add the next jump. BE SURE TO LABEL YOUR JUMPS. Here are the odds:

1.55 odds: [*roll range="1-3"]
1 clear
2 clear
3 miss

1.60 odds: [*roll range="1-5"]
1 clear

2.30 [*roll range="1-18"]
1-2 clear
3-18 miss

(From this point on, should it be necessary, the dice follow this pattern, increasing by 2 for every .05m and needing a 1 or 2 to be considered successful.)




The competitor with the highest successful jump wins this event. Heights for this event will be continually updated on this thread; however, the overall decathlon standings will be updated on a separate thread.

After everyone has rolled, feel free to edit your post with your character's reaction if you so desire, but please keep it to one post rather than multiple.

There is NO POSTING ORDER; you may post whenever you please. Keep in mind that this event must be wrapped up by the end of the Olympics Day.

Priscilla knew what the spotlight felt like, but this was different.

The camera lenses were like beady eyes, examining her every angle and panning to follow her movements as she stepped toward her starting position. Certain audience members would recognize her, she knew that. Many people would, but for once it was not in a negative light. There was nothing morbid about the Olympics, nothing to apologize about, no reason to shoot her sympathizing expressions.

After three years, that has gotten old anyway.

She stretched her arms and her legs until her skin felt hot from the rushing blood. The high jump was an event she had hesitated to sign up for, because her specialty was strength and brute force. Weightlifting was her prime event, and the moment she looked most forward to in the near future. But something about the high jump was appealing – perhaps it was the requirement for leg strength and perfect form? It sounded more like an event for endurance and acrobatics. Priscilla was never really interested in practicing endurance, but she knew who usually was.

Maybe that was why she was doing this. Not just for fun, not just for a new spotlight. There was honor in this, honor for her lost sister. Even if she was bad at it, it would just prove Locust correct.

That Priscilla was not, nor would she ever be, the perfect career.

A B B I E B L A C K M O R E I had been given a full day to mull over the severity of my loss in volleyball, and this was assisted by the sneers of my partner, none other than a birch, whose blood was probably as dark as the black eye I was tempted to give him. But the time for that had come and gone, and now I was left to my own devices, which included a short stretch of track, my own two legs, and a bar that seemed to be set way too high, even at the lowest setting. I turned my attention to my surroundings rather than focusing solely on the track, for I figured staring down the bar wouldn’t quite make it any lower. The fourth day of festivities was bringing about the same heavy crowd as the first, which didn’t make the anxiety in my stomach settle at all. However, it couldn’t be much worse than my show on day three, so really, I had nothing to lose. I doubt my family felt that way, though, for anything that we do, whether it’s taking out the trash or cleaning dishes is done with honor in mind, and it’s simply exhausting. Maybe just this once I should do something for my own personal gain rather than with the family in mind, for that might bring about a sense blame to fall only to my shoulders rather than that of my entire family. It’s a good thought to have, for the inevitable is that I’ll do just as badly as I did only two days ago. template by chelsey

you may be knocked down, but not out forever

Y

esterday wasn't my day. I had thought for a brief second my throw would be amazing, but it wasn't. I was quickly wiped out by others, and it's discouraging. Knowing more events were in my future only brought fear and anxiety. All I wanted out of this chance at the Olympics was to bring home a medal, but that seemed like it was impossible. The hope that was living inside was washed away with the pain, but it didn't change the feeling of always getting back up. Throughout my life when I was knocked down, I forced myself to stand back up because getting back up is the only way for success. The only failures in life are those who give up completely, and giving up isn't in my vocabulary. Today is a new day, and I plan on giving my best.

High jump. It sounds strange that someone with my height would be competing in something called the high jump. Most people are extremely taller than me, but that didn't matter because great things come in small packages. Never underestimate someone by their size. My father told me that, but it's something I never understood. So here I am standing in front of the bar wondering how I could possibly make it over from a standing position. It felt like the bar was taller than me, yet this was worth the shot. It's worth the chance of giving everything I have because life isn't easy. I may be knocked down, but I'm not out forever. I take a deep breath forcing my nerves to calm down. This is the moment of truth, and right now it's my time to shine. I hope for the best performance of my career. And so it begins.

Narration

Another day, another set of events, another chance to prove myself. Wouldn't it be amazing if I could prove the Blackmores are better than the Birches? That's my goal because they aren't meant for anything. I've waited and waited, and that's what this Olympics is all about - waiting and being patient. High jump shouldn't be too hard, and I'm down for the tast. It would be great to show people how amazing I truly am. Maybe someone is watching, but for now I don't know. When it's my turn, I can hear the people chanting for me.

"Logan.
"Logan.
Logan.
Logan."

It's music to my ears. I step up to the platform, and I prepare to jump. I look at the bar and figure out how I need to jump because right now, I'm not going to let some short person show me up.

Lia Renden

Hop. Hop. Jump. Or was it skips?

Adrenaline and anxiety competed with each other as they both ran through Lia’s body, each one trying to make it to her mind or heart first. While she had trained for this—and her coach’s yelling still fresh in her mind—and she wasn’t that bad at this event, it did not come as naturally to her as did training for something else, such as throwing knives. Somehow, despite her small frame, she was still able to get some vertical height and that was why her coach had steered her in this direction.

But the bar looks so high.

Everything else around her, the stands, the other competitors, were blurring in her vision as she could only stare at what it was she was supposed to conquer.

Just warm up. Warm up and I’ll be okay.

She kept running through that mantra as did some leg stretches, making sure to feel some heat and flexibility as she jumped up and down. And then it was her turn. The first bar wasn’t as difficult as she had thought, but she knew she still had a long way to go. At the next height, she stared it down before her attempt.

Jubilant had to quickly run from her team swimming event to the high jump. She had stayed long enough to see how well her team had did, but she believe they could win the gold. The first guy had an outstanding time and hers was around the average time. Swimming wasn't something she was very passionate about, but the high jump was a different story. She had loved running from a young age, and adding hurdles into the sport made it all the more challenging and exciting.  

Jubilant was more excited for this event because she only had to depend on herself for a medal. All she had to clear all the hurdles and she'd be alright. She quickly did a variety of leg stretches before approaching the starting block and soaring over the first hurdle.

ANNALISE BIRCH

I want to do well today. I need to do well. Nobody has ever paid me any mind before. I'm too quiet and I blend in with the walls too much. I'm not the type of person you expect to succeed, especially because I come from such a successful and overpowering family. I guess we'll see if today is the day meant for me...
