Trivia
- In the final, Yellow was right behind Speedy most of the race, but then pulled ahead at the last second to win it.
- The 5 meter sprint was the closest final in MarbleLympics 2017, with only 0.02 seconds difference between Mellow Yellow and the Savage Speeders. The closest final in MarbleLympics history was from the hurdles event at MarbleLympics 2016. Coincidentally, it was again between Mellow Yellow and the Savage Speeders, with the Savage Speeders winning by a 0.01 difference, giving them the 2016 title.
- In the Quarterfinals Heat 3, Sea may have lost sight of Mellow Yellow at the yellow section of the track because he blended in.
- In Semi Finals A, Speedy crossed the finish line twice. After his first finish, he bounced back on the track, and then finished again.
- After his victory, Yellow ran over to the stands to celebrate with some Mellow Yellow fans. Choc, however, left the track in defeat.
