For the build, do we have to use physical bricks or are we allowed to use LDD? Thanks TNB for hosting this wonderful contest and give use a chance to win a set of these exclusive minifigures.

Hi Legobrandon

Its only a small build. But if you really want to use LDD, we're not going to say no. Since this is a raffle, we can be a bit more flexible. :)

Seems small but the green pieces to create the swimming separators are exactly 100 pieces, and the waters ones are around 25

"At the finish line!" The crowd reacts at the end of the finish...

A judge shuttles around his RC Mini Cooper, while the timekeeper knows something is very wrong....

Enjoy!

I created two scenes for the Olympic contest.

A simple build, with obligatory piece count inflating random spectators! But definitely my favorite moment of the Olympics, in which a boxer goes down 6 times in the final round...and is declared the winner! Apparently the ref did not look like this.

My last minute entry. I've really enjoyed the 2012 London Olympics, but am happy that I can soon go to bed at a reasonable time!

The entry honors women's gymnastics. As you can see this gymnast steps out of bounds during her floor routine and receives the white flag. Her coach is not amused! The judges will have to work hard calculating her score! Not to call out a specific gymnast, but I had US Gymnast Jordyn Wieber in mind Edited: I should explain why this is my favorite Olympic moment. While disappointing that Jordyn did not make the cut for the All Around Competition, partially because she stepped out durng her routine, a gymnast from Massachusetts, Aly Raisman rocked on the floor (twice) to qualify for the All Around and to go on for the Gold on Floor Exercise.

I suppose you could also see this little scene as the Russians who did not take gold on the Floor Exercise!
