Call the Shot - Olympic Gear

By Candice Coots in

Wrestling and cheerleading mom, Dawn Martin put her photo captioning skills to work, winning our last Call the Shot contest. Dawn, a Level 5 Street Veteran, nailed down this caption, for our highflying Whistler skier, “Wait…I’m supposed to be going that way. Grr.”


Congrats, Dawn! You just won a Weplay t-shirt for participating in and winning Call the Shot. But can you win back-to-back?

This week’s image is an ode to the many creative Olympic costumes and gear that are inevitable during the games. In this photo, taken on February 23rd, two Japanese curling fans show off their “stone” hats. Though the Japanese men and woman were eliminated in preliminary rounds, their fans were nothing but supportive.


Now it’s your job to Call the Shot. Put your thinking hats on, or in the case of Weplay’s engineers, put your stone hats on, and post your witty captions in the comments area. You could win a Weplay t-shirt for posting the best response.
