  • June 16, 1998

Sakura and the Flowery Athletics Meet is the tenth episode of the first season of Card Captor Sakura. The episode begins with our protagonist, Sakura Kinomoto, getting ready for her school's Flower Festival, which includes an athletics meet. Sakura is excited about the event, but Tomoyo Daidouji, her best friend, is even more excited as she has planned Sakura's outfit and wants to make sure that Sakura looks perfect for the day. As they leave for school, they are joined by Syaoran Li, another classmate of Sakura who is secretly in love with her. However, Syaoran is more concerned about the presence of the Clow Cards, magical artifacts that Sakura has to capture before they cause any harm.

When they reach school, they find out that the athletics meet will be divided into three teams: the White Lily team, the Pink Peony team, and the Red Rose team. Sakura and her friends are on the Pink Peony team, but they are not too confident about their chances as Tomoyo has been slacking off during practice. They are also worried about Syaoran, who has been assigned to the White Lily team. However, they quickly forget their worries when they realize that the other two teams have a secret weapon: two boys who are outstanding athletes.

Throughout the episode, we see the different events of the athletics meet, such as a relay race, a tug-of-war, and a three-legged race. During these events, Sakura and her friends use their magic to help their team, such as creating a massive gust of wind to help them win the relay race. However, despite their magical help, the Pink Peony team is always a step behind the Red Rose team, who are in the lead.

One of the highlights of the episode is the cheerleading competition, where the three teams have to perform a cheer for their respective flower. Sakura's team is up first, and Tomoyo had planned the cheer with her usual flair and flamboyance. However, as soon as the cheer starts, something strange happens. The petals of the Pink Peony, the flower they are cheering for, start to fall, causing everyone to gasp in surprise. Sakura soon realizes that this is the work of a Clow Card, and decides to take action.

Sakura and Syaoran both use their magic to fly up into the sky to find the source of the card's power, but they are unable to find it. Meanwhile, the athletics meet continues, and it seems like the Pink Peony team will lose. However, the card's power causes the athletes on the Red Rose and White Lily team to start falling unconscious, leaving only Sakura and her friends standing.

In a dramatic finish, Sakura and her friends work together to capture the Clow Card, using clever tactics and strategy to overcome its power. The card is eventually captured, and the athletics meet resumes, with the Pink Peony team declared as the winners.

Sakura and the Flowery Athletics Meet is a great episode that showcases the different aspects of Card Captor Sakura. It features the usual magical action that we've come to expect from the series, as well as humor and heartwarming moments. We see the friendship between Sakura, Tomoyo, and Syaoran grow stronger as they work together to achieve a common goal. The episode also features a great message about teamwork, perseverance, and the importance of never giving up. It is definitely one of the more memorable episodes of the first season and a must-watch for fans of the series.
