Victor and Athena

Victor and Athena Bode are a team of Married Parents on Sleepy's Amazing Race 5 and Sleepy's Amazing Race: All-Stars.

Victor and Athena, nicknamed the Power Parents by the other teams, were strong contenders while racing. Though their status as strong contenders won them the respect of the other teams, it also put a target on their backs, getting them U-Turned twice! Despite this, they consistently placed toward he front of the pack and hold the record for most legs won within a single season. In the final leg, they were neck and neck with Quinn and June, but were ultimately passed by their competition at the final challenge, being left to finish in 2nd place.

Season 5
Victor and Athena met in college and were huge rivals, competing to beat each other in sports and academics alike. In classic rivals-to-lovers fashion, these two fell deeply and passionately in love and have been together ever since. Victor and Athena, despite their intense natures, are considerate and loving parents, both to their daughter, Amara, and to the other kids in Amara's school, who they often find themselves taking care of. These power parents are looking to dominate this Race to set a good example for their community's children! With the prize money, they would help provide for and invest in their community.
