This prayer asks God to bless and protect any athletic or sporting event, that all athletes will be safe from injury.
It might seem strange to offer a prayer before an athletic event, but in truth, the prayer doesn't have to be for a particular winner.

Here is a prayer from the Book of Blessings that incorporates these themes and asks God for protection of all athletes involved.
