Toronto 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Logo
Next weekend I should recieve my uniform and accreditation and something to blog about. In the meantime, here is a related post from my fencing blog: Foiling Around with Swords. I know, slow day at the Pan Am inbox...

In my last post, I made fun of the Toronto 2015 fencing logo, where the fencer seemed to have created a whole new sport. At the time I thought it was an anomaly, but on closer inspection, I think not! Someone in the creative department for the Pan Am games had way too much fun on the job. 

Take a look at the the athletic figures. Specifically the tennis player in the middle.

I know tennis can push athletes to their limit. Especially when faced with annoying spectators, however, attacking an unarmed spectator, (who has clearly surrendered), with a right forehand, is one step over the line.  

And not to be outdone, the wheelchair tennis player takes on an even more aggressive approach to deal with a heckler. He grabs the poor sot by the hand, intending to lob him over the net.

Umpire, can I get a ruling on this?


I'll just post this next image and let you think about it for a minute.

I'm going to assume it's tandem cycling and the second cyclist is holding onto invisible handlebars — yeah, that's it —

Now, back to fencing.
