I know those middle three are probably questionable. (i.e., is that how you spell gleek or bleak, I think not. Also, I think Bleck only counts if you are Charles Schulz.) :)
I did it the same way as Alex, except the word chack (to not broadcast a medal-winning or otherwise memorable or crucial figure skating performance) saves the chick/click steps.
