Once again, the "Zootopians" wall in "Facebook" is holding another 'drawing challenge' involving some of the characters from the Disney CGI feature film. This time, the theme is the "Summer Olympics" - featuring the two main characters, 'Judy Hopps' (rabbit) and 'Nick Wilde' (fox)...
Usually, I'd speculate that many of the entrants will render this duo participating in one of the sporting events associated with said Olympics (e.g. 'gymnastics', 'swimming', 'track and field', etc.) before submitting them to "Zootopians". Instead, my offering finds 'Nick' and 'Judy' attempting to be part of the audience at one of these venues... but without much success. Finally, 'Nick' scores a pair of tickets to one of the more obscure events: 'fencing'.
NOTE: For the first time, I was using images from "The Art of Zootopia" with the characters on certain pages as models. Realizing that the elephants in the film (including 'Jerry Jumbeaux, Jr.' and 'Nanga') maintain cylindrical hands and feet, they are forced to use their trunks to pick things up. Hence, the sword-wielding pachyderms in the last panel.

My original intention for an Olympics-themed gag was an event with a diversity of various-sized mammals, called the "Proportioned Relay". It's a relay race that's played in four separate circular tracks: a giant track for gigantic animals (elephants, rhinos, and hippos), a standard-sized track for regular-sized animals (moose, large cats and wolves), a smaller track for smaller animals (foxes, rabbits, otters, badgers, etc.), and a tiny track for athletes from Little Rodentia (mice, rats, squirrels, shrews, etc.)...
Instead of carrying a baton (as in traditional relays) each runner is fitted with an electronic ankle bracelet. When that runner goes one lap, and then crosses the finish line on his respective track, a sensor on the bracelet alerts the teammate on the next smaller track to start running one whole lap; and so on, until the tiniest runner crosses the final finish line.
This is an event in which mammals of all sizes get to compete against each other - as teams of four - without stereotyping any competitors. So, even a mouse can beat a rhino, as long as each runner competes on their respective proportionate track!
Of course, if I attempted to render the artwork for a race of this nature, by the time I'm finished, the next Summer Olympics will begin!
