-"Every two years, the Spirits of Competition grow especially fervent, and draw close to the mortal realm. During such times, members of both the [[Alliance]] and [[Horde]] can honor the spirits and earn Competitor's Tabards by seeking to defeat one another in the [[battlegrounds]]. For victory in competition, they can also earn the spirits' favor in the form of a prized gold medal - and the special pet it summons."

-===2008===
-*{{item|icon=|Competitor's Tabard}} - Mailed to all participants in any battleground, both winning and losing. You MUST have stayed for the full duration of the battleground.
-*{{item|icon=|Gold Medallion}} - containing the '''Spirit of Competition' ''[[Small Pet]] (small red and yellow Asian dragon). Every time you win any battleground, you have a chance this pet is mailed to you. (It was stated to be a 50% chance each time you win, but this appears to be incorrect. What fits the observed win comments was that it was automatically 'rolled for' among the winning team characters. Also stated "The battleground you play doesn't matter", it appears it did matter, smaller battle grounds (Warsong Gulch) gave better odds of obtaining this pet.)
-*{{item|icon=|Competitor's Souvenir}} - containing the '''Essence of Competition' ''[[Small Pet]] (small blue and purple Asian dragon), available only on servers in China.
-==Notes==
-The fact that this event will happen every two years likely means that it will be active during both seasonal Olympics, Summer and Winter. The fact that this event's one prize was themed to the host country seems to suggest that future instances of this event will have themed prizes for their host country, which further suggests that the theme awards for any given year will not be repeated. The tabard, which is themed to the real world event the game event corresponds to, is likely to remain as an award.
