eventually runs into Martin and Spartan, other Torch World creatures that challenge him to a race to the town center. Izzy sprints past them, exemplifying Olympic events such as racing, long jumping, and kayaking to save Spartan from drowning. Izzy makes his way to the Tribunal of Elders and is given thanks for saving Spartan, the son of one of the elders. Instead of a reward, Izzy asks if he can go down to Earth to try out for the Olympic Games. The elders inform him that the only way he can go down to Earth to compete is if he obtains the five Olympic rings, symbolizing Perseverance, Integrity, Sportsmanship, Excellence, and Brotherhood. Izzy announces confidently to the elders that he will accomplish this goal, and by doing so immediately earns the Ring of Perseverance. Izzy begins his quest. Izzy heads to the home of Koroibos, an experienced athlete who was at the very first Olympic games (Her name is a tribute to Koroibos, the first recorded winner of an Olympic game. Whether she competed or not is unknown.) to seek help on his quest. In discussing his favorite sports, Izzy turns into a soccer ball to which Koroibos tells Izzy that he has a gift. The next day, Izzy competes in a local cycling race against other Torch World citizens. Martin and Spartan interfere with Izzy as he is cycling and push him off the track. Despite this, Izzy finds himself on a shortcut and beats the other cyclists. He is awarded first place, but tells the judges that he cannot accept the award because he cheated. One of the judges thanks him for his honesty, and he is awarded the Ring of Integrity. The Tribunal of Elders have fear of Izzy earning all of the rings and take note of the moral divide between the Torch World citizens. The Elders decide to host their own Torch World games to determine if Izzy should continue to win the Rings. Starting off with the gymnastic rings, Spartan competes and earns high scores from the judges. Izzy performs after Spartan and earns higher scores, except for one score from Martin who is in disguise. Koroibos notices the unfair judgement, but Izzy, respects the judges call and says the judge must have seen something the others have not seen. Izzy earns the Ring of Sportsmanship for having dignity in his loss. In
