ANATOMICAL SPORTS

Your mission is to write a description of a sport action (such as riding a bike) using complex anatomical terminology. You must describe (not list), all body parts, directions, actions, and sport equipment in descriptive terms. You may NOT give hints using the names of the body part or pieces of equipment. Descriptions will be read aloud, allowing other students to determine the sport you are playing and the skill you are performing.

THE BIG GAME!
There were only 10 seconds left in the biggest game of the year. I bent my cervical upward and saw with my orbitals my target as big as day. The orals of the crowd were bursting with sound and their brachials were waving everywhere. My thoracic was pounding and sweat was racing down my frontal onto my buccals. I squared my pedals up to the line and bent my crurals. I then bent my antecubital and aligned my antebrachial up with my target. I jumped into the air and let the spherical object go at the highest point in my elevation, making sure to break my carpals for a good follow through.
