The Olympics ended a while a go but I finally wrote this out!
Olympics!Leverage
Parker is a world famous artistic gymnast, an absolute monster on the balance beams and the definition dexterity on the floor. Became a meme because of her terrible track record in interviews, it's not that she's actively trying to be rude or awkward, she just doesn't know how to hold back the adrenaline from performing the perfect floor routine.
Alec Hardison is a nerd through and through and has no shame in revealing in an interview that he only picked up the bow and arrow when he was 12 was because he thought (and still thinks) that Legolas is the coolest character ever. Nana enrolled him in a local archery class to help him with his ADHD, turns out internally roleplaying as Bard the Bowman was great therapy. He likes the recurve bow but his true love is the compound.
Sophie Devereaux is a dressage legend. Her first olympics was as a eventer but she decided her that true passion lies in dressage. She competed in 10 olympics total (7 of them in dressage, won gold in 5, silver in 2 and bronze in 1). Has ridden many horses in many games but her heart will always belong to Griff (short for Maximundo Grift Valegro LAM 15B9) a true white Lusitano Arab mix stallion, they won gold in 2 Olympics together (eventing and dressage). Sophie retired after the tragic death of her husband (and olympic gold medallist sailor) Nate Ford, decided to follow a career as an equestrian games commentator, trainer and social media sensation. Was invited by the BBC to be the main tv host of the Olympics coverage alongside the experts of their respective sports.
Eliot Spencer is a veteran that found himself in cooking and Taekwondo. He still feels like a newcomer, its hard not to when your peers became third-degree black belts at 15 and you discovered the sport at 23 and fresh off war. But goddamn Eliot tries his hardest. Now he is 31, it’s his second Olympics and he’s not going to settle for silver this time, his first and only goal is Gold (the second goal is having fun).
Breanna Casey is a skateboarding prodigy. She’s 16 and thrilled that skateboarding is finally being recognized as a legitimate sport and can finally rub on those mean boomer’s faces the she is an olympic athlete now (take that, you raisins!). She’s super nervous but she’s been on the international competition scene since she was 11, she got this... right? She’s a social media Menace with a capital M, 2 million followers on twitter and brand deals helped her so much with her sport expenses, Nana can only help so much with plane tickets and skateboard equipment. A shitpost master and posting in the middle of competitions is her Brand™ and the public loves it.
Harry Wilson feels like a deer in the headlights of a 12 wheeler truck and the only way out is to narrate what’s happening and he LOVES IT. He won a ticket to the golf preliminaries, got lost on the way back from the bathroom, met a lady he swears he saw on TV once and somehow he’s on national uk television commentating alongside an olympic legend and other experts now. He’s having the time of his life and if someone noticed the odd one out here they haven’t snitched yet.
The majority of the crew doesn’t have a criminal background (I’m looking at you Parker) but when they notice that judges are being very unfair and showing favoritism they couldn’t sit still. They bump into each other while snooping around.
Plot twist: turns out the judges are being paid off by a multibillion dollar company to tip the competition towards athletes sponsored by this corporation and that would bring them the most profit.
The payments are made in hard cash envelopes and hand delivered to avoid any paper trail.
The grand heist is to intercept the 8 suit cases full of cash being delivered in the next 7 days, expose the judges and donate the bribe money to the wronged athletes.
Everyone is trying to be very professional and careful. Harry’s still having a great time.

Hey guys I'm writing some ideas for a Leverage Olympics AU and I can't decide on some sports. Let's debate.
Parker: artistic gymnastics. I was thinking about rock climbing but literally defying Gravity for shits and giggles feels very Parker for me.
Breanna: one of the new sports. Either sport climbing (lead climbing, it's full of engineering tricks and physics) or Skateboarding (It vibes with her). She wants to prove to those boomers that her sport is as valid as the main events. She's here to break records and have the most fun possible.
Eliot: ok this is going to sound crazy but hear me out, Modern Pentathlon. It's a not the most well known sport but I honestly love it. The modern pentathlon was originally created to simulate the skills of a 19th century soldier, it consists of fencing, 200m freestyle swimming, equestrian show jumping and a final mix of cross country running and pistol shooting called Laser Run. Eliot is an extremely versatile man that always does the absolute most , I think he would THRIVE on this event. Boxing sounds cool too.
Hardison: Archery feels like a viable option, have seen the amount of tech on those bows?? It's crazy, it demands precision and it's always reinventing an ancient sport, feel very Hardison to me. I've been thinking about Tennis too.
Sophie: retired rhythmic gymnast. She's currently working as a commentator and dabbled in coaching for a while. Was married to fellow athlete Nathan Ford, a sailing gold medallist.
Harry is not an athlete, actually how did he even get here? One second he's trying to find the bathroom and on the next he's being shoved into a commentary booth with Olympic legend Sophie Deveraux. Now he's a commentator for multiple sports and is trying to see how long he can keep this job before someone notices that he knows jackshit about sports.
