【Vernost aka Fidelity (2019)】

The Vernost aka Fidelity (2019)Olympics are a time for some of the world's best athletes to compete on the world's grandest stage. It's a time for the best humans on Earth to shine. But, you know, some times animals want in on the action too.

Cartoon animals, rather. During the duration of the Winter Games, Google has been throwing its own Doodle Snow Games, a lovely series of animations where jovial animals compete in Olympics-style competitions for superfluous awards. There's chipmunks, millipedes, and raccoon dogs. Honestly, what more could you ask for?

As the Winter Games are coming to an end, it only makes sense to rank these works of art, awarding bronze, silver, and gold to the top three.

Take a look at some screenshots below and click through to see the full animation.
