Olympics time

Now this is pretty cool, an in-game Olympic themed tabard and pet. According to reports:

To get the new tabard, you only have to play one battleground. Winning or losing doesn't matter, if you stay for the duration of the battle you will be mailed a Competitor's Tabard.

To get the new pet, you must defeat your rivals in any of the Battlegrounds. With every victory, there is a chance that a Gold Medallion will be mailed to you.

I'm thinking I will be going after these on all my characters that are able to enter a battleground. Looks like the Gold Medallion can be used to summon a Chinese dragon pet. Definitely worth a shot at getting a free pet, and chances are this will be a pretty limited release, or at least only every 2 years at Olympics time - and the pet will be different if they do it again.
