2000[]
Scuttle falling apart leaving an easy victory for Waddle.
In Waddle's first heat, it went up against Scuttle. Despite Waddle having the much slower start, Scuttle went out of control and almost all of its legs came off the track. Scuttle fell onto its side and it was put back onto its feet. Scuttle ended being disqualified after reaching the finish line with no legs left. Because of this, Waddle had no competition and finished smoothly at 3:43:93. This win put Waddle to the Battery Sprint finals, where it faced Lemming.
Waddle wins the gold medal.
In the finals, Waddle got the better start as Lemming couldn't get going. Lemming was walking really slowly and couldn't catch up with Waddle. Waddle was heading straight for the side wall but it was slightly moved by one of the team members. After this, Lemming was still struggling to finish and Waddle finally crossed the finish line first at 3:49:52. In the end, Waddle received the gold medal in the Battery Sprint.
