The annual Orem Indoor Winter Olympics was a delightful spectacle as employees from all departments descended upon the City Council Chambers and competed for eternal glory, office bragging rights, and gift cards.
There were some stunning individual performances that would have made even Noelle Pikus Pace proud.
Before we display the individual winners, the Olympics are all about bringing home the medals for your country.
