With the Olympics almost upon us, it's only fair to offer you a sporty prompt for our June challenge:
Sports are important for many people — a way to keep fit, to compete, or to unite with friends to support a favourite team. And sports might be important in the near and distant future. But they might look vastly different from what we know today...
For this SciFriday challenge, we ask you to take a the plunge and write a science fiction story about sport ... but don't forget, in the end, there can be only one winner.
A few rules:
From surfing on solar flares to wimot racing, everything goes that can be perceived as sport. Your story must be written in English, though, and qualify as science fiction. It can be a maximum of 2500 words long.
Please publish the story on your Wattpad profile — either as a stand-alone story or a chapter in an existing anthology. Only one chapter, please.
To submit your entry, post the direct link to your story in the comments below this chapter so your fellow competitors can find your story and fill in this submission form in the inline comment here >>>>>
The time limit for submissions is Sunday, July 21th 2024, 23.59 UTC
Have fun, and please help us spread the word!
