Blatherskite

Today's word is "blatherskite" ... A person given to voluble, empty talk.

Olympics
Around the ring the skaters glide,
Chesslike, planning the next stride,
This, no place for a blatherskate,
Just those who chase a golden fate.

Here mind wins over brawniness,
The race won with pure finesse,
To the winner go fame and glory,
And the telling of a strategic story.
