The Apostle Paul tapped into the Olympian spirit in Corinth:

1 Corinthians 9

24Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.

He only suggests that end-zone dancing be done tastefully (ie. more James Brown, less Janet Jackson)

I was going to post that too but figured someone had beaten me to it, so I checked.

Sure enough someone did. That verse makes it pretty clear that striving to win an atheletic event is in no way unchristian.
