An Olympic themed Tabard and Pet are two new perks that World of Warcraft players can pick up by playing Battlegrounds. Starting today, and running through the 25th of August, winning players will have a chance at randomly winning a pet. All players participating in a full round of Battlegrounds will receive a Tabard, win or lose.
In case you were also unaware, the Olympics themselves have kicked off in Beijing already. Celebrate the Olympic games by playing WoW, that's what I say!

Every two years the Spirits of Competition grow especially fervent... and now is that time! Both Alliance and Horde wear this tabard into the Battlegrounds to honor the spirits, seekign to defeat all enemies and earn their favor.
As far as it looks, the tabards are permanent and it might be your only chance to get one ... before the next Olympic Games in 2 years. This event goes live August 8th at midnight server time and lasts until the 25th.
• 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.
