About Outineau - introduction from the bid
Outineau, the heart of Kel-chek frenchieness, brimming with arts and culture, where the food's good, the drink even better, the people are cool, and the fries are thick and frequently slathered with gravy and cheese curds. Buskers compete to play the oddest instruments possible, you're never sure if you're looking at a strange road sign or an installation art piece, you spill out from the bars at last call and straight into all-night coffee bars with jazz bands playing till sunrise, where you discuss the importance of proletarian class solidarity with the coat rack while your liver sighs and gets on with processing the booze. It's the country's second-largest city but no one doubts that Outineau is the place to be if you're young and hip or old and sophisticated. The boring CEO-wannabes and mainstreamers can have Kirkenes. Outineau, the City of Festivals, is where you go to live.

Your athletes, officials, and fans are likely to arrive at Aéroport Elliot-Trudeau de Dorval, which is the city's main international airport. Charter flights might also land at Aéroport Saint-Hubert. Getting around the city, you're likely to take the Métro. Quite a bit more information about the city, including some tourist sites and districts visitors are likely to visit, is at NSWiki.

And here's a map of the city which highlights major roads and Métro stations which would be important for the Olympic visitor, along with some of the districts and attractions marked.

Laws, politics and stuff
Perhaps the most noticeable of Kelssek's laws for the foreign visitor is the complete legality of recreational drug use, and the lack of a legal drinking age (although in the province of Beaulac you must be above 17 to buy alcohol, whatever your age it's legal to drink it in a bar or a restaurant if your parent or legal guardian bought it for you - though most restaurants would in fact intervene should you offer your infant a sip of your Chardonnay and pubs often do impose a minimum age so patrons don't have to deal with kids running about). A provincial law makes all firearms illegal within urban areas, and very stiff jail terms can apply for that. Shooting teams won't have to worry, though, as their guns are specially exempted. Crime is all but non-existent and Kelssekian police don't normally carry guns while on duty - special (and very heavily armed) police tactical squads deal with any incidents involving firearms.

Beaulac nationalism is quite a big deal, although such sentiments are much weaker in Outineau given the city's relatively large English-speaking ("anglophone") population. Although strictly speaking Beaulac is a province with no more or less status or powers than any other province in the federation, it grabs all the autonomy and independence the constitution lets it get away with, and to even suggest that it is a "province like any other" will invoke quite a heated response from certain people; there are many (almost always francophone) locals who will consider themselves "Beaulacois" first, and "Kelssekien" second - if at all! The French language is pretty much the lynchpin of the national identity and so the very use, or non-use of it has political significance. Another provincial law mandates that the most prominent language on all signage in the province must be French. (Yes, you might be picking up on something; it's just like Québec!)

Here is the schedule of events. Note that this has been adapted heavily, by which I mean "mostly stolen wholesale", from the schedule of the previous Olympics in Aeropag. It is subject to change without notice or as I realise at time of scorination additional rounds are needed or aren't needed. The schedules for the team sports, in particular, are fairly loose, though the knockout rounds schedule will be followed.

The 'A' scorination will take place at or after 03:00 UTC, while the 'B' scorination will take place at or after 20:00 UTC. ICly, this corresponds to morning and evening in Outineau respectively (I RP Kelssek in real-time, in the UTC +6 to +9 time zones. At the time of the Olympics Outineau is on UTC +9, the same as Tokyo. Please don't take the scorination time too literally, though, for RP purposes A scorinations are events held in the morning/early afternoon and B events held late afternoon or at night.)

AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT SCORINATION
There is a good reason I have given a generic "day 1 A, day 2 B" schedule rather than actual dates: it's more than likely that scorinations won't actually be twice a day every day like clockwork. I am not a superintelligent cyborg hamster, nor do I have a psychic octopus to do my bidding, I am just a guy with classes to register for, bills to pay, a part time job, family to visit and travelling to do. So we're going to take more than 25 days to finish the Olympics.

I can tell you when I'm sure I won't be able to scorinate due to being trapped in a sealed metal tube rocketing over the Pacific Ocean 4/5 of the speed of sound. I can't tell you when I won't be able to scorinate, or to finish the day's schedule, because something takes much longer than I thought it would or because of unforseen scheduling difficulties (such as it being very nice outside). Whatever it is, please bear with me. If there's one thing I can promise, it's that I will complete this successfully, and it won't be September when I've done that. Probably.

<<<QBC.com/The Games of the Vth Summer Olympiad>>>

QoD/Qazox rivalry heating up?

According to some sources with the NSOC, Quintessence of Dust will be announced in Kelssek's native French as Boules d'âne couvertes de sueur, moving them away from Qazox during the march of nations during the Opening Ceremony. Supposedly it is to prevent the usual mingling of the two nations while awaiting entry into the stadium. But why bother going public with this information? Qazox, in almost every language (excepting possibly Rejistani) would be Qazox. So using the traditional use of the native language to sort the nations, Qazox and Quintessence of Dust wouldn't have marched anywhere near each other during the Opening Ceremony of these Games.

Qazoxian Flag Bearer Announced
Qazox' Flag Bearer for the Opening Ceremony has been announced earlier today. Karen St. John, 28, of New Bruxen; will have the honor of carrying Qazox' new National Flag for the first time in an international competition. St. John will be participating in her 2nd Olympics, and along with teammate Marsha Brooke are among the contenders for a medal in Women's Beach Volleyball.

Basic Outineau Facts
The City of Outineau, population of 6,766,022; sits on the Maisonneuve River and is among one of the more important cities within Kelssek. Outineau is home to many citizens of French decent and is the 2nd largest municipal region with Kelssek, trailing only Kirkenes. <Source: KBC.com>

Amateur athletes discover ‘Ariddianness’ to compete in Olympics
The Press Association

What do you do when you’re a country that lacks the funds to send athletes abroad, even for a major event such as the Olympics? Simple. You recruit athletes from the host nation.

Ariddia –a state composed of nineteen islands, which eshewed money long ago, before abolishing its centralised government and devolving authority to autonomous communes– was absent from the last Olympic Games, but has a proud history in earlier editions. Faced with the quandary of returning to the Games within the means of a tightened budget, the country’s sports authorities have hit on the idea of seeking out Ariddians already resident in Kelssek. Thus some of the athletes clad in red and black whom you will see competing in Outineau actually identify as Kelssekian first and foremost. But –under the eyes of primarily Kelssekian spectators–, they will be competing against athletes from their home country. Instead, they will be representing the land of their forebears.

A case in point is Sandra Pierre, one of Ariddia’s medal hopes. Nineteen-year old Miss Pierre was born in Kelssek, and has lived there all her life. Her father is a natural-born Kelssekian, while her mother moved to Kelssek from Ariddia. Pierre is a diver, and she’s good; there’s no question about that. She is quite likely to get her mother’s country of origin onto the podium. If she does win a medal, she will take it home… to Saint-Rémy, Beaulac, Kelssek. It is likely never to be seen on Ariddian soil. So how does she feel about this?

“I’m Kelssekian first, but I’m also Ariddian,” she told our reporter, in a café near the campus of the Université du Beaulac. “I have Ariddian nationality, by descent, and I’ve been there a couple of times. It’s a beautiful country, with lovely untouched forests that take your breath away… I’m proud to be competing in the Olympics, and to be representing my mum’s country. In my mind, I’ll be representing Kelssek as well.”

Not all Ariddia’s athletes are Kelssekians, however. Lucy Yamamura’s case is somewhat different. She works as a correspondent of the Ariddian state media in Kelssek. She had made her home there for professional reasons, and because Kelssek is –in her own words– “one of the best countries in the world to live in”. But she is still very much an Ariddian. A long-distance runner, she regularly takes part in marathons, but has never won a major race. Her focus will be on the 10,000m, where she believes she has an outside chance.

Celestina Chan, Ariddia’s only competitor in boxing, is a different case again. She is Ariddian, not Kelssekian, but she’s lived in Kelssek for close to two years now… working as a coach for amateur women boxers. She may be wearing Ariddia’s colours this year, and will show no conflicted loyalties if she’s up against a Kelssekian opponent in the ring. But, as she tells us, she hopes to be training Kelssek’s boxing talent of the future. Perhaps, in a few years, Kelssek will have a boxing medallist trained by Chan. Sport may be about national rivalries, but in such cases it may well transcend boundaries.

And perhaps Kelssekians will want to cheer for Priscillia Sissoko. She’s an Ariddian, studying at the Université du Beaulac in Outineau. She intends to return to Ariddia after her studies, although she says she’s “loving every moment” of her stay in Kelssek. She is also the only athlete with a disability to be taking part in these Games. Her visual impairment is sufficiently severe for her to qualify for Paralympic events, but she retains enough of her sight to run without a guide. She will be starting in the 100m and 200m sprints, and is known to have outrun many a full-sighted opponent in the past. If she can sprint her way to a medal, no doubt she will earn a place in Kelssekian hearts, despite national boundaries.

All these athletes, and more, will get their full measure of support from Ariddia – even if they have never lived there. But the stars of the Ariddian delegation are all Ariddian residents – a contingent of twelve athletes travelling specially from their home country. For them, the Ariddian Olympic Committee has found the money. They carry their nation’s hopes. The women are called the Golden Girls; the men, the Dream Team. The expectations vested in them are exceptionally high. They are Ariddia’s gymnasts.

Ariddia’s gymnastics record in past games is stunning. In the first Olympics, the men and women both took gold in the team competitions, and swept up nine individual medals as well, of which three gold. Four years later, they successfully defended their two team titles, and picked up eight more individual medals, including three gold. At the third Olympics, they again successfully defended their two team titles in the artistic all-around, and also entered the rythmic group event, where the women took gold, and the men silver. To that, they added a record sixteen individual medals, of which six gold. In all Ariddian gymnasts at the Olympics have won a whopping nineteen gold medals over the span of three Games, and remain unbeaten in both the men’s and women’s artistic team competitions, with an unbroken string of six victories.

This year’s Ariddian gymnasts are a fresh bunch, but the standard set by their predecessors is sky high. The pressure on them will be enormous. And the competition, stiff. Among others, Unified Beretania, Cafundéu, Vekaiyu, Yafor 2, and the dreaded Landau Institute –which pipped the Dream Team for gold in the rythmic team event eight years ago– will also be vying for top place, with some excellent gymnasts.

So Ariddian eyes will mainly be on gymnastics, while Kelssekians may watch those of their compatriots wearing the Ariddian colours. Perhaps there will be controversy, if a Kelssekian in red and black knocks a ‘Kelssekian Kelssekian’ out of the top three, in whatever sport. But perhaps, also, these athletes straddling two countries will simply get twice the support. Let’s hope so. After all, aren’t the Olympics about reaching across borders?

Quirnaw: Nah. We aren't that good but we could still do well.
Shyd: Okay I can't wait and in fact, I'm going to buy a trophy closet.
Quirnaw: Maybe we should get one to share.

Signoid: Do you guys reckon this could be our Olympics?
Calsoka: I don't know. I could be but it might not be.
Samo: Are you guys ready for training?

Signoid: I don't want to go. I just want to relax.
Calsoka: So do I but we must try.
Samo: Actually lets get some massages people say it helps.

Signoid: Sounds good to me.

Calsoka: Not as good as us though.
Samo: Course not!

Sart:I bet the men are going to fail in the ranking round.
Perrin: I agree.
Yuosok: How do you think we will do though?

Sart: Better than them.
Perrin: I hope all the weeks of training have paid off. I really hope.
Yuosok: Hey look there is the torch.

Sart: I would kill someone to run with that flame to the finish.
Perrin: We all would.
Yuosok: I guess we would but this is life.

Sart: Oh well good luck to you lot.
Perrin: Yeah and lets be a team in the team round.
Yuosok: Right off to training we go!

Village-state hopes to live up to records
The Press Association

Which is the smallest country to be taking part in the Outineau Olympics? Unquestionably, the Sovereign Village of San Adriano.

San Adriano has a total surface area of 0.32 sq.km., and a population of just over 400. It mostly consists in houses, but it also has a few fields enclosed within its borders. Despite its tiny population, it has four official languages, due to a rich history of small migration waves. It is a principality; the current monarch is 60 year-old Prince Dario Katoren. He exercices no actual power, and the village is governed by an elected parliament.

So small is the country that the monarchy is involved in ordinary village activities. Prince Dario’s father was his predecessor on the throne, but his mother was the daughter of the village baker, and the royal couple were known to help out with work in the bakery. Prince Dario himself worked as a diplomat before inheriting his country’s throne.

Despite its small size, San Adriano has been an active participant in international sports. It used to have a national football team, playing all-out defensive tactics, which once memorably defeated Starblaydia 1-0. Goalscorer Ase Shau and his teammates were instant heroes.

The village likes its sporting legends. It even prints their faces on its banknotes. And it has punched far above its weight in terms of achievements. Not least at the Olympics.

At the first summer Games, San Adriano had just two representatives: swimmer Sabrina Vannucci (cousin to the baker’s daughter who later became princess), and table tennis player Benjamin Eash. Eash was rapidly eliminated, but Vannucci reached the final in two of her four events, all in the freestyle category. In the 50m final, she swam her way to a respectable 5th, but that is barely even remembered by her compatriots now. Her lasting, stunning achievement was to win gold in the 200m final. The result, which no-one had expected, was met with an explosion of joy. San Adriano had begun its way on the path of Olympic success.

Four years later, Vannucci was too busy to compete, but Eash returned to the Games – and, this time, won a bronze medal in table tennis. He was fêted as though it were gold, and propelled into national stardom. His only compatriot at the games was Femke van der Vaart, who ran the marathon but failed to complete it. Her time had not yet come.

It came, spectacularly, at the third summer Games, when she was San Adriano’s sole representative, competing only in the marathon. She ran her way to a stunning bronze medal, maintaining her nation’s record of winning a medal at every edition of the Olympics it’s taken part in.(That includes the Winter Games. Short track skater Thomas Peruzzi, San Adriano’s only ever Winter Olympian, won a silver at the first edition of the Games and a bronze at the second.)

Femke van der Vaart, a national hero eight years ago, is back now for her third Olympics. You might have thought there was little pressure on her shoulders, due to her country’s small size. But San Adriano’s near-miraculous haul of five Olympic medals in five Games –exactly one per edition of the Games– means that expectations are very high indeed.

Perhaps for that reason, van der Vaart is no longer banking everything on the marathon. In Outineau, she has set herself an exhausting schedule of six racing events, and will also be taking part in the long jump. We caught up with her in San Adriano’s tiny quarters in the Olympic village, which the ambitious runner has very much to herself.

The first surprise was her appearance. Gone were the light green dye in her hair, and the green lipstick which had once given her such a striking, defining look. So it seemed natural to ask about those, first.

Press Association: “You’ll be wearing the green and red of San Adriano. That hasn’t changed. But what happened to your hair?”

Femke van der Vaart: (laughs) The dye? (She plays idly with her dark hair, tied for now in a neat bun.) I sometimes think I matured out of it. But I may dye it again for the races. At least for the marathon. It brought me luck last time.”

PA: “Most would say that wasn’t luck. That was a great race.”

FV: “Thank you. I trained hard for it, and I’ve trained hard again this time. But there’s always a bit of luck involved.”

PA: “Is the marathon going to be your star event again?”

FV: “Oh, yes. It’s what I love best. If I win just one medal, that’s where I want to win it. It’s really what I do best. I’ve looked over the PBs [personal bests – ed.] of the other girls, and I should be in there with a medal. But, you know, past records aren’t what counts.”

PA: “Last time, you put all your efforts into the marathon. And it paid off. This year, you’re entering seven events. Aren’t you going to be tired?”

FV: “Well… Yes. But I’ve really, really trained hard for this, and I know I can run a marathon, and clock a good time, even after doing several other races. So this isn’t me sacrificing the marathon. I would never do that.”

PA: “What are your hopes for the other races?”

FV: “Um… Well, long distance is my thing. The 800m, you know, I’m giving that a go, but where I’ll be strong is the 5,000, the 10,000. Where I can pace myself, not just dash for the line.”

PA: “Who are you big opponents, for the marathon?”

FV: “Oh, um… Rachel LeFonda and Jess Taylor, from Virabia. They train together, you know. I’ve talked to them, done a bit of work-out with them, and either of them could get gold. They have this… They support each other, and they have this friendly rivalry, and I think that’s an asset.”

PA: “Whereas you’re here on your own. Do you think that’s a disadvantage?”

FV: “No, I don’t think so. Maybe I’m more focused, that way. I can do things in my own time, at my own pace. But anyway, I’m not really alone here. I talk to some of the girls, and guys, from other countries. Anyway, to come back to what you were saying, in the marathon… There’s also Amy Morano, from Beretania. Her PB isn’t as good as mine, but I think she can really do well. And, um, Rose Lenoir, from Krytenia. Hebe Gouveia, of course, from Cafundéu. She’s among the very, very best. Same with Alize Clorvin, from, uh, Delaclava. Mila, from the Landau Institute… The girls from Taeshan, too. And that nice girl whose name I keep forgetting, from Valanora. Starts with an M.”

PA: “So, lots of big competition. It is the Olympics, after all.”

FV: “Right. I’d say, Rachel and Jess are expected to be the pace setters. With Alize, and Mila, and Hebe… Oh, plus the three girls from Sorthern Northland! And a few others. Those are really the big names.”

PA: “And you, of course.”

FV: (smiles) “And me.”

PA: “Do they worry you?”

FV: “Mm, no. They’ll run their best; I’ll run mine.”

PA: “How’s the local support? I don’t think there’ll be many Sanadrianese among the spectators.”

FV: “No… But you know, when the media start talking about San Adriano at the Olympics, we usually pick up fans. People like to support the small countries. I bet you will see a few Sanadrianese flags, and a few people cheering for me.” (smiles)

PA: “Is this your first time in Kelssek?”

FV: “Oh, yes. I don’t speak any French, but I’ve tried to learn a few basic sentences, and I’m managing with English. People are very friendly. The Olympic village is great, but I try not to spend all my time here. They have these wonderful cafés in the city, and the atmosphere out there in the evening is… well, it’s something everyone should experience if they can. It’s fantastic!”

PA: “Best of luck!”

FV: “Thanks!”

Independent athletes get permission to march under Liventian name and flag

Outineau, Beaulac, KELSSEK— A team of 165 independent athletes will be representing Liventia at the upcoming Fifth Summer Olympics here in Outineau, despite the nation officially being part of the Combined Team at the Games.

Unhappy that the Liventia Olympic Association allowed the Combined Team's delegation to be dominated by Ad’ihanis, a group of Liventian athletes, backed by their national sport federations, decided to enter as independents.

However, in a surprising twist, the LOA has granted permission for the independent athletes' team to march in the athletes' parade at "L" for Liventia/Liventie, and not at "A" or "I". The athletes have also been given the go-ahead to use the Liventian flag at ceremonies and use the Call of the Liventian Republic if a gold medal is won, despite the fact that both of those symbols will also be used by Liventian athletes representing the Combined Team.

The independent athletes do not have a formal NOC, as their national federations are tied to the LOA, and for historical record keeping purposes, any medals won by the independent athletes will only count towards the independent entry, and not to Liventia. The athletes, expected to compete in synchronised swimming, badminton, boxing, equestrian, judo, rowing, sailing, taekwondo, weightlifting and wrestling, will however be recognised as having participated in the Olympic Games for Liventia.

THE MONASTIC TIMES

MONKS ARRIVE IN KELSSEK
Outraged Spokesman Complains About Steeplechase Delay

By Fr. Nicholas the Scribe

The Monastic Olympic Committee announced today that the Archregimancy's Olympic squad of sporting monks had safely arrived in the Ordinary Reality Nation of Kelssek to participate in the fifth Ordinary Reality Olympiad. The Archregimancy has a fine tradition in the Olympics, often finishing near the top of the medals per participant table, especially when San Adriano - a small heathen microstate - forgets to send a team.

Hopes are particularly high in two events: the one-person dinghy, where Fr. Basil the Boatman - who runs the boat house at St. John of New Patmos - is expected to do well; and the Archregimancy's signature event of the 3000 metre steeplechase, where hopes are high in some quarters that Fr. Irenaeus the Heretic Hunter, Fr. Polycarp the Hermit, and Fr. Aleksandr the Water Jumper can sweep the event.

Team spokesman Fr. Vassily the Heavily-Accented was quick to complain about the event scheduling. "IS OUTRAGE!" said the increasingly-isolated and exasperating figure. "Steeplechase is most famous event of Olympics. Steeplechase is what all the people are here for seeing. Everyone know that steeplechase should be first day, not day 16, so we can hear glorious two-hour long Archregimancy anthem. Is insult to Orthodoxy."

Sources close to the squad were quick to assure the Kelssek organisers that they were perfectly happy to have the steeplechase occur on day 16, and that few realistically believed that the scheduling was intended as a deliberate slight towards the Orthodox Church.

Athletes Prepare for International Competition

Republic Sport Magazine

Excitment is begining to grow the the Games of the V Olympiad, or The Games, as the are commonly called across Ferkas. A star studded team, composed of 83 of the Republics best athletes have been assembled and will be departing soon for the Games. Hopes are high across the nation for Ferkas first foray into serious international athletic competition. In this article we will provide you, dear reader, with the inside scoop on some of these athletes as we also offer our own analysis of the Games.

Aquatics

7 entries, covering 5 athletes, have been submitted and accepted for competition in the aquatics portion of the Games. We caught up with one of these athletes, Moses Williams(100M Freestyle and 200M Freestyle), and he was gracious enough to answer a few of our questions...

RSM-Mr. Williams, what are your goals for these Games?

MW-Well, I just hope to make it as far as I can and bring some honor to our fine nation.

RSM-Can you explain to us some of the many issues facing a proffesional swimmer in such a small nation?

MW-We here in the Republic are faced with a terrible shortage of facilities. At this point we only have access to one pool, and only for 4 hours a day. The weight equipment which is available to us is rather outdated, and the NOC(National Olympic Committee) has not yet provided us with a certified coach.

Cycling

Kevin Bacts, Brandon Loster and Nathaniel Telsts are the three men who will be representing Ferkas in the cycling portion of the Games, with all 3 being entered into the Mass Start event. Cycling coach Ian Rel-Poa shares his thoughts on the team...

"Well, lately training has been going pretty well. We are lucky to be based out of an area where we have access to some rather good facilities, and I think thats really going to show. The main issue that I am working on right now is just making sure that these guys see the Games for what they really are, a chance to show the world what our fine nation is capable of.

Athletics

There is little doubt in anyones mind that the Republic has some of its best medal chances in the field of athletics. By far the majority of the Olympic Team are entered into athletics events and these men and women represent our best international hope. We are honored to share some of their thoughts with our readers...

Andrew Peters(800M, 1500M) - "I am really stoked for these games. I remember a few months ago at the trials, when I won and looked back. Seeing that two of my teammates from college had made the automatic time...man, it doesn't get any better than that. Knowing that Charlie(Charles Escabar) and Olive(Oliver Pershing) will be at the Games too. Man, that just makes my day."

Andrew Peters(800M, 1500M) When asked about the chances of doubling - "Well, to be honest with ya, I really feel like the 1500 is my best shot at a medal. Coach Rexa has really been working with me on that and I think I am ready to make a real breakout onto the international scene.

Bernard Ulster-Sherman(5000M) - "To be honest, I knew all along I would make the team. Now its just a matter of making my national sucess equal out to something real on the international scene. National titles are all fine and dandy, but Olympic medals, thats the real standard. If I don't bring home some kind of medal, you can bet that I died trying.

Jeremy Verlot(10000M) When asked about his age - "Well, its true I am a bit older than most of these guys. But to be honest, I think the experience that I have will really help me with this type of tactical racing.

Kyle Reper(3000M Steeple) - "I've spent a lot of time talking with Bernard(Ulster-Sherman) and we both agree, this is the time to go for broke. Either I leave with a medal, or I leave in a body bag."

Coach Micheal Rexa(Head Track Coach, NOC) - "We've had our issues. Training on a dirt track miles from the nearest city isn't ideal conditions, but I think we can make an impact. Look for some of the guys like Peters, Sherman, and Reper to really step up. I know some of them might seem a bit cocky, but its not without reason, these guys are good. Like, really good."

Thats all we have for this release. Next time we interview some of the female track stars and give you our take on these games.

"...Morrison scored his third try, giving the Steelers a well-deserved 15 point victory over the Hurricanes. This moves Hamilton back on top of the ladder ahead of Easts and Newcastle. That's all for the ABC Sporting News this evening. I'm Hanna Bell. Up next is the Olympic Preview with Alan Eagle. Goodnight."

"Good evening and welcome to Outineau, Kelssek. It's a slightly warm night here, but that hasn't stopped people from enjoying the atmosphere that the Olympics has to offer. Welcome inside the International Broadcast Center for the Olympic Preview on ABC Sport 1. I'm Alan Eagle. With just a few days left until the opening ceremony, athletes and broadcasters have been pouring into the country, setting up for what will surely be a fantastic games."

"The ABC is pulling out all the stops to broadcast these games on television, radio, and the Internet. While you can watch coverage on the ABC networks or listen to it on ABC Radio, the website is allowing you a new way to watch the games. The ABC website will broadcast the international feed of every event live, without commentary. You can enjoy every second of these Olympics without having to be near a television."

"The athletes themselves arrived earlier today and have been settling into the village. We have a few here who agreed to do interviews on short notice. We have road cyclist Axel Hunter, freestyle wrestler Elsa Ryti, and greco-roman wrestler John Magnus. Welcome."

"Thanks."
"Good to be here."

"Axel, we'll start with you. You come into these games as the Asteran road-race champion and the Tour of Asteran champion. How do you match the expectations people have of you?"

"I ignore them. I don't need some halfwit sports writer saying that I have to win a medal or my career is over. I've won the Tour three times, the nationals twice, and I have won the ACU overall championship four times. At the last Olympics, I finished 11th. I've trained harder, learned how to sprint properly, and I feel that I've never been better. Of course I want to win, but I'm putting things into perspective. I'm not racing semi-pro club cyclists here, I'm racing the best in the world. Winning a medal here takes perfection."

"Thanks, Axel. Elsa, you are following in the footsteps of your brother Matt, who won gold four years ago at the games in Columbia. Do you think you can do what your brother did?"

"I think I can. People keep coming up to me in Kapi and asking me if I'll win a medal like Matt did, and I just tell them that I might. I've been working with him to help my technique, but that can only go so far, y'know? I was supposed to work with Emily Barnes, the Newcastle University women's coach, but she came down with food poisoning before we left."

"Is it hard living in the shadow of your brother?"

"It was for a while. When I first started at Kapi University I heard nothing but comparisions to Matt from the coaches. It took me winning the AUS title to stop people from comparing me to him because he never won a university title."

"Thanks, Elsa. John, you're coming in as Asteran's top university wrestler and current national champion. Is there a lot of pressure to perform?"

"Not really. Like Axel said, most of the pressure comes from the media. My coaches at Balmora told me not to stress over it, as did everybody who came out to support me before I left. Nobody back home would kill me if I didn't come back home with a medal, but the newspapers and the cable sports shows would. It kinda hurts to see some writer who's never competed before makin' judgments about how we're failures if we don't win. One writer in particular bugs the hell out of me, but I won't name him."

"So you all agree that the media is placing unreasonable expectations on the athletes?"

"Oh yeah."
"Absolutely."
"Aye."

"Words of wisdom there from top athletes. Thanks John, Elsa, and Axel for coming on tonight."

"We'll be back with more from Outineau tomorrow. If you want to see the full schedule, press the blue button on your remote and navigate to Olympics or visit the website for all the up-to-the-minute news. The news is next."

THE MONASTIC TIMES

SPOKESMAN CALLS FOR SAN ADRIANO BAN
Fr. Vasily "Outraged" at Microstate's Participation

By Fr. Nicholas the Scribe

Archregimancy team spokesman Fr. Vasily the Heavily-Accented caused dismay across the Olympic village today by issuing a strident call for plucky Uhuhland microstate San Adriano, whose total population is approximately 439, to be banned from the Fifth Summer Olympics.

"Is outrage!" said the increasingly erratic figurehead. "Why should tiny country smaller than good Orthodox monastery have automatic place in Olympics? What is the worst, they are always doing the winning of medals; this shows total lack of good Orthodox humility. Femke van der Vaart should be the sending of home."

Embarrassed senior figures from the Monastic Olympic Commitee were quick to disown Fr. Vasily's comments last night, stating that "everyone has a right to participate in these Olympics, even atheists, heathens, and heretics from tiny microstates that only exist due to a historical accident."

The same senior figures were quick to point out that the total absence of any known Orthodox citizens of the tiny village principality had no bearing on Fr. Vasily's remarks, or on those of the MOC, nor did the fact that over 60% of Sanadrianese are atheist or agnostic, and that the largest religious denomination consisted of the fifth of the population that are western schismatic Roman heretics. "We often participate against heathens, atheists, and heretics in other sporting events, and indeed welcome the opportunity to show to them the glory of Orthodoxy. Fr. Vasily's comments in no way reflect the approach of the Monastic Olympic Committee as a whole, and we look forward to a successful Olympic games here in Kelssek".

San Adriano ‘unconcerned’ by Fr. Vasily comments
The Press Association

The Sanadrianese Olympic Committee’s President –and virtually sole administrative member–, Alessandro Albani, stated that he was “unaware” of the comments made earlier today by Archregimancy Olympic team spokesman Fr. Vasily the Heavily-Accented. When approached by the press, Mr. Albani asked to see the report on Fr. Vasily’s call for San Adriano to be excluded from the Olympics. His expression suggested mild surprise as he read.

“I have heard of Fr. Vasily,” he said after a few moments. “I do not know why he is making these comments. San Adriano has taken part in the Olympics five times before, so I would have thought that any objections should have been raised the first time. Anyway, this is the view of one man, not of the Monastic Olympic Committee, so why is it a problem?”

Fr. Vasily’s call was apparently based on San Adriano’s size, which the Archregimancy spokesman described as smaller than a “good Orthodox monastery”. He argued that a microstate should not have an automatic right to field a delegation at the Olympic Games. He also appeared displeased with the village-state’s relative success; San Adriano has won exactly one medal at each of its Olympic participations. The Archregimancy spokesman is well known for his frequent outbursts condemning what he describes as anti-Orthodox plots by foreign sports bodies. This has earned him, strangely enough, an enthusiastic international fan base; his catchphrase “Is Outrage!” has been seen held up on banners in sports stadia around the world.

Archregimancy newspaper The Monastic Times also noted that none of San Adriano’s inhabitants were followers of the Orthodox faith. Indeed, the village has no monastery, and people of various religions share the same multi-faith prayer facilities. Sanadrianese Olympic runner Femke van der Vaart, who is Uhuh-Topian born, has described herself as Protestant.

Mr. Albani dismissed the controversy and wished the Archregimancy’s athletes every success in the Outineau Games. They will, in any case, not be competing directly against San Adriano. The village-state has just one representative, in women’s athletics events, while the Orthodox nation is represented only by male athlete monks.

Vekaiyun Athletes Arrive in Olympic Village
Reporting for the V3 News Network, Floria Irusuveli

OUTINEAU - The 258 participating Vekaiyun athletes arrived comfortably in the Kelssek city, greeted warmly by national supporters and fans. Vulpine crowds swarmed the entrance gate as the athletes, protected by security and roped-off sections, waved and greeted their countrymen, who had to travel just a short distance to reach Outineau. Vekaiyu, along with host nation Kelssek, are the only two nations representing The East Pacific realm.

"I'm excited," star swimmer and flagbearer Ikrisia Sulevire said as she walked with her group toward the housing district that they would be residing in. "It's a joy to see my own countrymen here supporting us in such a proud moment for our nation." Sulevire, along with the other eleven female swimmers, make up the Ihiseen do Serisilas or Eleven Sirens, a group of young vulpine women who have been responsible for breaking various records within Vekaiyu. In a nation that values swimming and various swimming sports, they have gained enormous popularity since the announcement of their inclusion into the Olympic roster. Sulivire, the seventeen year old phenom from the port city of Ves, is participating in eight separate events.

In total, the 258 athletes from Vekaiyu represent the first ever Olympic team supplied by the nation. Every athlete is Vulpine by race, and will look to proudly represent their nation throughout the Olympic Events.

Olympic Overview

Vekaiyu is competing in most Olympic events for the 2010 Summer Games. Such events include swimming, diving, water polo, track and cycling, boxing, wrestling, gymnastics, and other events. The nation is expected to be strong in swimming, diving, water polo, gymnastics, and track events, but since the nation has never been a part of an inter-regional Olympics before, their performance remains fairly uncertain at this point. Still, Vekaiyuns are very hopeful they will perform at a medal-level for many events.

Vekaiyu is specifically concentrating on the aptly-named Ihiseen do Serisilas or Eleven Sirens, which include Elana Navinsku, Ika Eveleruvi, Ikrisia Sulevire, Ileena Useli, Iseli Viverisi, Ivalsa Beraseri, Kira Niru, Leina Irlavistre, Lisa Ikaveri, Riyna McAves, Yva Noveli. Most have become overnight celebrities within their national borders, but even neighboring vulpine-dominated Listonia has begun to take note. While many aquatic events and sports are already popular in Vekaiyu, many of these vulpine females have gone from common athletes to household names in a matter of months. They are expected to be the largest draw among the Vekaiyuns who travel to Kelssek for these events.

Of the Eleven Sirens, Ikrisia Sulevire is the most popular. Despite being just seventeen years old, she is expected to be the strongest among all swimmers. It is rumored the 2010 Vekaiyun Olympics logo features her portrait, but the Vekaiyun Olympics Committee has not confirmed who's face is on the banner.

Not far behind, however, are the strong gymnastic teams and female diving teams. Vulpine culture tends to value agility and sleekness, so it should not be surprising to see Vekaiyu submit very strong teams for these events. Track athletes are expected to perform well as well, especially the apparent stars of such events, Seri Valekastre and Elana Hureri. The Vekaiyun water polo teams are believed to have the potential to dominate the event, as well as their triathletes. Entrants who may surprise judges are spotted throughout the list as well. Specifically, Yva Nokalestro, despite her small frame, may go deep into the boxing competition, a surprise for Vekaiyu.

Largeish nation's smallest Olympic nation claim queried
“Not really outrage” claims island leader

“Which is the smallest country to be taking part in the Outineau Olympics?” was the question put forward by The Press Association in a Sanadrianese press release previewing the upcoming Fifth Olympic Games in Outineau, Kelssek. The answer it gave to that question?

“Unquestionably, the Sovereign Village of San Adriano.”

A later statement in the press release went on to state the Sovereign Village's population at “just over 400” which puts it significantly above An Blascaod Mór's population of 206. Muiris Ó Suileabháin the de facto leader of the island and head of Comhairle Oilimpeach na Bhlascaoid (Olympic Committee of An Blascaod Mór) and brother and in-law to husband and wife mountain biking entrants Seoirse Ó Suileabháin and Eithne Uí Shuileabháin though seemed rather unconcerned about the apparent snub.

On being asked whether he would quote from The Archregimancy's renowned Olympic spokesman Fr. Vassily the Heavily-Accented and claim The Press Association report as an outrage Ó Suileabháin instead replied “I wouldn't really say it's an outrage.”

He would go on to add “Perhaps our entry just slipped under their radar, but really at the end of the day it doesn't really matter. It's not about who's the biggest or the smallest or has the most geese, but about athletes from around the world coming together to compete and both us and San Adriano I'm sure will be very proud to be a part of that.”

Ó Suileabháin then went on to joke, “San Andriano isn't even that small though is it? We've had a population increase of around forty-five percent in recent years and still we're only about half their size, I think we can safely say they're a largish nation!”

Other pre-Olympic statements have also included a call from Fr. Vassily the Heavily-Accented for San Adriano to be banned from competing at the Olympics with The Archregimancy spokesman asking “Why should tiny country smaller than good Orthodox monastery have automatic place in Olympics?” prompting concerns within An Blascaod Mór's population of a similar ban being called for upon them.

The threat of such action though didn't seem to faze Ó Suileabháin who claimed “It's well known that Fr. Vassily has some fairly unconventional opinions, and if he does have one about us I'd hope he'd take into account that we're not a totally heretic microstate.”

“For many years now we've gladly welcomed Orthodox monks seeking a place to retreat and contemplate to do so on our surrounding islands and indeed on An Blascaod Mór. A few of our own have even found an interest in the Orthodox faith through those visits and Daithí Mac Carthaigh, who'll be competing in the hundred metres even spent a month or so visiting a remote monastery in Sorthern Northland's Southern Mountains to pray in preparation for the Games.”

Smallest nation? It’s a matter of statistics
The Press Association

Muiris Ó Suileabháin, head of the Olympic Committee of An Blascaod Mór, took issue with the Press Association’s earlier description of the Sovereign Village of San Adriano as the “smallest nation” at the Outineau Olympics. As reported in An tOileánach, Mr. Ó Suileabháin argued that his country is actually smaller, due to having less than half the population of San Adriano.

While the Press Association is not above a mea culpa, it might be suggested that smallness is a matter of statistical perspective. Although San Adriano’s village is more heavily (and densely) populated than the island of An Blascaod Mór, the latter has a surface area over thirty times larger than San Adriano’s – making it, in comparative terms, something of a giant.

Whichever claim to smallness our readers choose to favour, two things are certain. The first is that neither country is expected to top the medal tables at these Games. The second is that both will probably receive significant support from parts of the public. After all, who wouldn’t cheer for the little ones?

(Interestingly, the two countries will be going head to head in one event in Outineau, when Sadhbh Né Chadhla of An Blascaod Mór faces Femke van der Vaart of San Adriano in the women’s long jump. A battle of the microstates? For those interested in placing bets on the outcome, Né Chadhla’s personal best prior to these Games is higher than van der Vaart’s, but probably not high enough for her to be a serious medal contender. Readers, whom will you support?)

An Blascaod Mór (pop. c.200, area c.10km²) will be represented by 56 athletes (including two football teams), competing in swimming, track & field, football, badminton, cycling, table tennis, and sailing. That’s over one quarter of the country’s population.

San Adriano (pop. >400, area 0.32km²) will be represented by 1 athlete in track and field.

The Vonghurst Star
Summer Olympics...yawn...

OTINEAU - So the Summer Olympics are upon us and for many nations and athletes it's the biggest event on the sporting calendar. Sure there are less countries than the World Cup but given the plethora of events offered it's still bigger. However, for some nations such as Virabia, the Summer Olympics are nowhere near the top dog.

To get a true picture of the difference of importance of the Summer Olympics compared to others you have to look at the bidding wars that various networks engaged in. The fiercest of these was for the 5th Winter Olympics which had CBN winning rights after paying £5 Billion for the privilege. In second place was NSN who bid £4.9 Billion and while VTV (who only put forth £1 Million) eventually won due to other networks pulling out because of taxes, the amount of money paid for those rights still dwarfs all other competitions. The second most furious bidding war was the one for the most recent Rugby League World Cup which had CBN paying £1 Billion for the rights to broadcast it. However, for the Summer Olympics, the winning bidder, VTV only forked over £2 Million which is less than the rights to the Cup of Peace were. So from this we can infer that the Virabi Public at Large simply don't care about these games.

And for the most part that looks to be true, with only a few events being broadcast on VTV (instead of their sister stations) and the ratings (for quite a few disciplines) expected to be low it's obvious that people don't care all to much about summer events (many of which have little following in Virabia). What we don't know is how the athletes themselves will respond to this. That's something we'll have to see when the events themselves are played.

Gymnasts prepared for Kelssek despite backlash from critics

Exhaustion, broken bones, suicide attempts and anorexia run rampant among Olympic hopefuls, critics allege

by Kathleen Steveson and Amy Simpson

Outineau, Kelssek- The Olympic standard in the gymnastics world was set early on by Ariddia, and the Beretanian gymnastics program has long strived to copy their success. However some critics claim the quest for success has been taken too far.

NEW MANAGEMENT

Corning Parish is home to the national headquarters of Gymnastics Pros, the organization that oversees Beretania’s Olympic gymnastics program. A year before each Olympic Games, six lucky young girls get the chance of a lifetime and head out to a sprawling campus to start twelve months of hellish training. It will be unlike anything these girls have experienced before.

But things have changed vastly since the last Olympic cycle following two well publicized major incidents. Firstly, gymnast Andrea Holder, who was seventeen at the time, attempted suicide with a drug overdose, just months after the IV Olympics concluded. Holder was emotionally distraught at not qualifying for the Olympics in Aeropag, and had to be institutionalized, where she remains today. Holder’s parents successfully sued Gymnastica Beretania, the Albavona based organization that previously oversaw Beretania’s Olympic program, for a record $210,000,000.
Gymnastica Beretania went out if business, and Gymnastics Pros took over, leaving the entire program structure intact.

The second major incident occurred just five months ago when Jenny Collins, 17, fell from the uneven bars during a practice and broke her femur. Having already qualified for the Olympics, Collins had to give up her spot on the team after spending twelve years of her life as a gymnast. Contrary to popular belief, major injuries like these are rare, and Gymnastics Pros has a near spotless record since taking over from Gymnastica Beretania. Collins has attributed her accident to a lapse in concentration, but many have questioned whether the girls are being pushed too hard to excel. Though Collins' injury didn't result in a multi-million dollar yent lawsuit, it has spurred calls for an overhaul of the way Gymnastics Pros operates.

THE SYSTEM

The 20 Point System at a glance

*There are five main categories that each gymnast is rated in: speed, athleticism, strength, and flexibility
*90%+ of all gymnasts start out with at least 0.3 in two or more categories
*The average starting age for a Beretanian Olympic gymnast is 5
*Gymnasts rise in ranking based on their performance at national and international meets
*5.0 in any category is considered ‘Upper Echelon’ for that category, while a 5.0 rating in all four categories is considered “Elite”
*There have only been seventeen “Elite” gymnasts in the history of Beretanian gymnastics
*Ratings can exceed 5.0 in any category with no maximum, and total rating can exceed 20 points
*The highest rated gymnast, Olivia Gonzalez, was rated at 22.875

The only way to make the Olympics as a gymnast in Unified Beretania is to get nationally ranked. And the only way to get nationally ranked is to register with Gymnastics Pros. Their monopoly might seem self serving, but in truth, it’s actually so much simpler to have all the nation’s gymnasts (future Olympians included) under one proverbial roof. Gymnasts become easier to track over time, the minimum standards become universal, and the experience becomes identical nationwide. The average gymnast registers at age 5, and 94% of all gymnasts make it to Olympics age (a minimum of 16 years old). Most everyone has less than 11 years to reach the coveted 20 point mark, a mark that most never reach.

Over time, the pressure to succeed becomes greater. Few can comprehend the heartbreak of failing to qualify for the Olympics. It can crush a soul who’s dedicated their life to the sport of gymnastics. Melanie Sanders, now a successful insurance saleswoman in Albavona, knows all to well. She was one of only a handful of former gymnasts open to granting an interview with us. At 17, she was invited to the Olympic tryouts for the III Olympics in Columbia. She finished a dismal twenty second. Her life quickly turned dark as she spiraled down into a deep depression that lasted for months, before like Andrea Holder, she too attempted suicide.

“It was all too much for me to handle. I had devoted my life to gymnastics. It was everything to me, and then everything just fell apart,” Sanders says. She says it took the help of friends and family to convince her that her gymnastics career wasn’t over, and she eventually went on to great success as a gymnast at Century University.

“I am grateful for the opportunity I had. I’m happy for everyone that made it. I’ve learned not to regret anything...It’s taken a long time, but I’m happy,” Sanders said.

THE REGIMEN

For those lucky enough to actually make the Olympic team, a year long “boot camp” awaits. After saying their last goodbyes, all six girls are flown out to Corning Parish where they’ll spend the year in the runup to the Olympics engaged in a full throttle crash course. Gymnastics Pros enlists drill instructors for the first week of Olympic training to “motivate” the girls. It’s not easy being an Olympic gymnast. As soon as they reach Gymastics Pros main gym for the first time, they’re expected to drop everything and run a mile. How’s that for a warm welcome? It’s a welcome that never fades away. The girls are expected to run a mile in the morning, every morning, seven days a week. And they have to get up at 5:00 sharp to do it. Rain or shine.

After running their morning mile, the girls grab breakfast, meals specific to each gymnast overseen by their own personal nutritionist. To combat allegations of eating disorders, breakfast is a monitored activity.

From there, the girls head to individual classrooms. Most Olympic gymnasts are still in high school, so each gymnast has their own teacher, and yes, they have homework just like any other teenager.

Noon brings lunch, and another supervised meal. After lunch, the girls have strength and conditioning training before hitting the gym for non-stop hardcore practice. They take a dinner break at about 5:00, then shuffle into the film room to review tape of their performances at meets and to critique each other constructively. Every Friday night however, is spent studying film of just Ariddian gymnasts. From an outsider’s perspective, it would seem easy to conclude that the Gymnastics Pros administration are in some sort of Ariddian worshiping cult. In reality, they want to impress on their young gymnasts what it takes to be a true winner.

After a year of intense training and bonding, the girls head to the Olympics, with high hopes of medaling.

Fast facts

*Gymnasts who make the Olympics have averaged a rating of 19.942. The average non-Olympic gymnast peaks at 17.385.

*The lowest ranked gymnast to qualify for an Olympics for Unified Beretania was Maizah Aboubakar, ranked 18.247.

* Each gymnast has a support staff of five, including a dietician, physician, personal trainer, school teacher, and sports psychologist.

* Each support staff member earns a $100,000 salary for the year, totaling $500,000 per gymnast, and $3,000,000 total for all six gymnasts

A Look at Unified Beretania’s Olympic Gymnasts

Shaldir al-Salai (20.7) Speed 5.5, Athleticism 5.1, Strength 5.1, Flexibility 5.0
Accolades: #2 national ranking
National Press Association First Team all-Beretanian
Earned “Elite” status (5.0 in all five categories) in 2024
Hometown: Albavona
Age: 16
Parents: Gemail and Naaheed al-Salai
Siblings: None
Bio: Shaldir al-Salai is currently the second highest ranked gymnast in the nation, and the best all round competitor heading into these Olympic Games. She represents the furthest a female gymnast of Arabic descent has ever gotten in the sport in Unified Beretania, and as such, is a great source of pride for the Arab community in the über diverse city of Albavona. After her senior year of high school (and perhaps an Olympic medal) she plans to study advanced aeronautics and space aviation at the prestigious Wilmington Technical Institute of Aviation in Maltshire and hopes to one day be a part of Unified Beretania’s fledgling space exploration program.

Natasha Webb (20.1) Speed 5.0, Athleticism 5.1, Strength 5.1, Flexibility 4.9
Accolades: #3 national ranking
Hometown: Greenwich Homestead
Age: 19
Parents: Donnie and Sierra Webb
Siblings: None
Bio: Natasha Webb failed to qualify for the Olympics four years ago, and is the only university student of the six. A golden second chance and a #3 national ranking helped propel Webb into these Olympics in Kelssek. Webb is a business management major and a Japanese minor at Century University. Her long term goals are to travel to Asia and eventually live abroad in Japan. Before making the Olympic team, Webb worked as a novice tattoo artist under the tutelage of renowned tattoo artist Kim Vorman in Albavona’s trendy Lake Park District, starting just days after her high school graduation.

Nina Kerr (20.0) Speed 5.4, Athleticism 5.1, Strength 4.8, Flexibility 4.7
Accolades: #5 national ranking
National Press Association First Team all-Beretanian
Hometown: Red River
Age: 16
Parents: Doug and Jennifer Kerr
Siblings: brother Howard (14), brother Leo (12)
Bio: Nina Kerr has been a gymnast since age 5. As her parents will tell you, one morning when Nina was 8 years old, she told her parents she would be in the Olympics someday. That day has arrived. She’s been accused of favoring the Ariddian gymnastics team over her own, but she simply loves gymnastics, and spends time watching and re-watching footage of past Ariddian Olympic gymnastics teams. “They’re [Ariddia] the best gymnastics country in the world. All I want to do is emulate that success. It takes your breath away what they can do. Gymnastics...is...Ariddia,” Kerr says. She’s not alone. Every member of the Beretanian team has pored over countless hours of Ariddian gymnastics film (at the behest of national coach Michelle Willis) studying every move of every muscle; studying perfection. The difference is Kerr takes it a step further and devotes every waking hour when not spent training, on studying Ariddian film. Only time will tell if she’s as good as the next generation of Ariddian gymnasts. And as for her future, Kerr intends to pursue gymnastics in college, and has already gotten a dozen scholarship offers.

Demetra Antonopoulos (19.8) Speed 5.0, Athleticism 4.7, Strength 5.2, Flexibility 4.9
Accolades: #6 national ranking
Hometown: Salsquamish
Age: 16
Parents: Georges and Nikki Antonopoulos
Siblings: None
Demetra Antonopoulos doesn’t let her ritzy upbringing in a premier gated community tucked away in Salsquamish County get in the way of expressing compassion and humanity. The daughter of a prominent county supervisor dad and eco-consultant mom, with movie and television stars and other celebrities as neighbors, found a way to spend last summer volunteering in Africa at a rundown medical clinic. Not only that, she raised $5,000 for cancer research while a freshman in high school, in tribute to a classmate who had died of leukemia. In addition to her caring personality, she’s got raw gymnastics skills. The Greek-Beretanian starlet is ranked sixth nationally, and is the strongest on the team. An ankle injury nearly derailed her Olympic dream, but her perseverance has paid off, and she’s now headed to Kelssek. She says her long term goals after graduating from high school include studying political science in university and following her dad into politics.

Kay Shannon (19.5) Speed 4.9, Athleticism 4.8, Strength 4.7, Flexibility 5.1
Accolades: #8 national ranking
Hometown: Letts
Age: 16
Parents: Frank and Isabel Shannon
Siblings: brother Mark (18)
Bio: Kay Shannon is a small town girl who owns three horses and knows the meaning of a hard days work. She grew up with her brother Mark on a farm outside the quaint town of Letts, where she’d routinely feed the chickens, gather eggs for the farmers market, and help harvest crops among other things. Eventually her gymnastics talent got her noticed and she quickly made the transition from farm life to gym life. At 14, Shannon was diagnosed with Graves Disease after complaining of muscle weakness and heart palpitations. With her condition now under control through medication, she is realizing a lifelong dream here in Kelssek. Long term, she plans to study environmental law at Chessex University in Baldwin Lakes after graduating from high school.

Chuenchai Nanthipsananit (19.4) Speed 4.9, Athleticism 4.6, Strength 5.1, Flexibility 4.8
Accolades: #10 national ranking
2024 National High School Gymnast of the Year
Hometown: Albavona
Age: 17
Parents: Ramkamhaeng and Dok-Rak Nanthipsananit
Siblings: sister Mali (21), sister Lawan (18)
Bio: Chuenchai Nanthipsananit was named to the team after Jenny Collins, the top ranked gymnast in Beretania, rather infamously broke her femur during Olympic training just five months ago. Romania Patrenko was offered the replacement job, but declined, saying that five months wasn’t enough time to prepare. So the job got offered to Nanthipsananit. She’s risen to the challenge, and will attempt to become the first Thai-Beretanian Summer Olympic medalist. It was Nanthipsananit who convinced the Olympic staff to give Collins a free trip to Kelssek with the rest of the team. Collins enthusiastically accepted the opportunity, saying she wouldn’t miss the chance to cheer her team on in person for anything, and the two best of friends will be bunkmates in the Olympic village. Nanthipsananit says she’ll do a bit of soul searching after the Olympics and decide what she wants to do with the rest of her life when things start to settle back down once again.

The New Cleethorpes Enquirer
World to get a taste of Dick Frosting

One thing will be on the tongues of perhaps every sportsperson in the world tonight...Dick Frosting. Today, the famed athlete who invented the "Frosting Flop" high jump technique shocked the international sporting community by coming out of retirement and announcing himself as a late entrant to the Fifth Summer Olympics and filling the third spot on Quintessence of Dust's men's high jump team.

The event, which, along with the javelin throw, is the subject of quasi-religious reverence among the Quodite community, proved a major disappointment at the Fourth Summer Olympics in Aeropag; the normally taciturn population of a country mostly associated with frozen peas, crossword puzzles and the colour grey found themselves rending limb from limb the three unsuccessful competitors who failed to produce one medal between them in the event, the remnants their bloody carcasses left scattered across deserted streets as protestors flocked to the doors of sporting administrators to demand: "More inches! More inches!" Dick Frosting will provide.

Pole vault competitors are held to much lower standards in Quintessence of Dust

Or, that's the plan, anyway. At 57, having been retired for almost 25 years, there is considerable doubt about the capacity of the once legendary figure, who has recorded jumps of 8m in outdoor environments on two occasions, to achieve the self-imposed standards. "Gold or death," he declared, uncompromisingly, before being helped onto the plane by two stewardesses (he did his back in carrying his suitcase up the ramp). Frosting has not competed in full competition in over two decades, and has not recorded a jump over 2.3 m in almost three. No matter - the crowds went wild.

What is remarkable about Frosting is not his age or his comeback, nor even the eventual result - on the face of it, likely humiliation. It is that it plays to a quality in Quodite sports relatively uncommon to the international Olympic community - a bizarre insistence on prioritisting performance in a few select sports over all else. Last Summer Olympics, former Olympic Chief Yi T'ien prophesied an apocalypse if Quintessence of Dust failed to win gold in the badminton mixed doubles. They didn't - though the heavens spared us a shower of blood as Bluth Corporation failed to win either.

At the most recent Games, the Fifth Winter Olympics in São Jorge, a noted aspect of Quodite media treatment of the Games was their emphasis on alpine skiing. Some nations print medal tables ordered by gold medals. Some print tables ordered by total medals. Quintessence of Dust is, presumably, the only one to print tables listing only medals in alpine skiing (meaning they did not, by their own estimations, finish at the top of the table, as they did in everyone else's given their overall haul). But while Quodite pride in alpine skiing is explicable perhaps by the geohistorical import of the Quodite alps and the frequency with which many of the nation's people ski, their affection for the high jump is a little harder to grasp.

Media watchdogs react to coverage of the story

After his first, historic 8 foot clearance, Dick Frosting appeared in a memorable photo. But perhaps even more famous is his explanation of why his achievement so overshadowed that of all other athletic feats in Quodite history: "It is the closest to God anyone from our country ever gets." For the notoriously secular republic that so alarmed Fr. Vasily in all his accented bluster last time, it is an odd sentiment - especially given the pole vault fails to generate anything close to the same passion (the nation's leading female pole vaulter, Ásdís Hákonsdóttir, is chiefly notable for her inventive "secretive stepladder use" technique, and having a nice arse).

Whatever the explanation, it is sure to make the competition all the more fascinating. Will the international media swallow Dick Frosting as readily as members of the Quodite press already have, gulping him down in great gasps of ecstasy? Or will they spit him out, gagging, perhaps, on the bitter taste of an old man. The man who once reached 97 inches will now have a struggle to get it up; it will be hard, undoubtedly. How will Dick Frosting go down?

Gymnastics set to be major event?
The Press Association

Some sports are more spectator-friendly than others. More directly competitive, perhaps; more fast-paced and exciting. Which no doubt explains why sprinting, swimming and football remain more popular than lawn bowls or curling. Viewers can see athletes go head to head in a very clear and concrete manner. Whoever crosses the line first or scores the most goals has won; there is no uncertainty here.

Gymnastics is different. Gymnasts take it in turn to compete, seeking to notch up the most points based on judges’ assessment of certain criteria. You don’t see athletes crossing a line; you watch their performance, and then wait for the judges’ verdict to flash up. In many countries, gymnastics therefore enjoys less of a following.

Yet in Outineau, supporters of specific nations are preparing excitedly to watch a major clash, and the gymnastic events are making media headlines.

Ariddians made a clean sweep of the artistic team competition six times in a row, winning both men and women’s events in the first, second and third Summer Olympics. The country’s return to the Games this year has consequently drawn comment from the press in other nations. The Albavona Capitol Sentinel in Unified Beretania reveals that Beretanian gymnasts’ training incorporates analysing videos of Ariddian performances. For Beretanian female gymnasts, Ariddia’s Golden Girls apparently remain the team to emulate, and beat. However, QBS in Quintessence of Dust notes that Ariddia’s gymnasts this year are new to the Olympics; fresh teams, who as yet carry none of the glory of their predecessors. Quodite gymnast Yuan Sung is quoted as saying that Ariddia’s opponents were “weak” in previous editions of the Games. In other words, Quodites believe the contest will be much tighter this time round.

So who will the Ariddians be facing? Four years ago, in their absence, the artistic team medals were shared out between Kelssek (women’s gold, men’s bronze), Newmanistan (men’s gold), the Fujisawan Territories (men’s silver), Krytenia (women’s silver) and Cafundéu (women’s bronze). Unified Beretania were also strong in Aeropag, finishing joint third in the gymnastics medal tally, not least thanks to Lourdes Carroll’s gold in the women’s individual all-around. The country also won the women’s rythmic group competition. This year, Carroll isn’t there to defend her title, but her successors appear more than up to the task. The Beretanian’s thorough –some would say draconian– training regimen has molded near-flawless athletes, who should provide a major challenge to the Ariddians.

Among the Aeropag medallists, Cafundéu continue to constitute a threat. The Cafundelense women’s team, in particular, has been shaped into a flawless winning machine, well suited to taking on the world’s best. And don’t discount the men, either – with top talents such as Miguel Darcellos or Leonardo Nascimento.

In the Landau Institute – major challengers against Ariddia in the past –, it is unquestionably the men who form a world class, ultra-efficient team. They display the grace and skill which –our readers may have forgotten– characterise the world’s best male gymnasts. The Institute’s women, by contrast, may struggle – although Karine Guerra has an outside chance of a medal. The Fujisawan Territories, on the other hand, will be placing most of their hopes on their women gymnasts, with strong hopes for several medals.

Yafor 2 may “only” have won two medals in Aeropag, but their teams this year are frighteningly good, at least in the artistic events. Each and every Yaforite gymnast seems capable, on paper, of a perfect performance. The same is true of Taeshan’s delegation. The country was joint seventh on the gymnastics medal table in Aeropag, with a trio of individual medals, but its gymnastics federation has clearly shaped itself up, producing stunning talent for this year’s Olympics. Vekaiyu’s, too, will be a delegation to watch; expect them to win a number of medals, and to pose a serious challenge in the team competitions. The same goes for Cassadaigua.

The Babbage Islands have sent only women gymnasts. Most of them seem fit to challenge for gold, but one or two individual weaknesses are likely to undermine the nation’s hopes of taking a team gold. In Akbarabad, a country absent in Aeropag, the authorities have also chosen to focus their training on the women, with admittedly impressive results.

Kelssek, the host country, has some impressive individual talent. Chris Batty, Pénélope Arsenault and Amanada Crewell will shine, but homeside supporters in the gymnasiusm shouldn’t be placing too many hopes in the team competitions.

And the Quodites? Well, if their published results so far are anything to go by, they, too, will be major contenders, quite capable of two team golds.

So what does this mean? That Yuan Sung may just be right. Not when he suggests that past competitions were poor. But when he implies, correctly, that the level of gymnastics talent in Outineau is mind-blowing. Forget football or sprint; the greatest show will be the performance of the gymnasts. Except to be stunned. Expect drama, tension, and agonisingly close results. Expect the joy of amazing athletes triumphing over incredible adversity. Expect the tears of truly excellent gymnasts going home without a medal.

“Quite frankly, I’m blown away by how good the competition is,” former Ariddian multiple champion Abdel Andresen admitted recently. He is now part of the coaching team of Ariddia’s young hopefuls. “At this level, every gymnasts knows that the slightest little mistake is going to be irreversible. I don’t envy the judges. There are cases where they’re going to have to choose between perfect and perfect.”

The Ariddians may have dominated the event until now, but they were trend-setters. The rest of the world has awoken to the potential of gymnastics. The past few years have been spent preparing dozens of amazingly skilled young men and women for the greatest show on the planet.

The Beretanians, we’re told, have undergone gruelling practice. They’re good. Very, very good. But so are their opponents. Let’s hope, for them, it hasn’t all been in vain.

by **The Fanboyists** » Tue Jul 06, 2010 7:15 am

Things had been...unusual for the Special Olympic Sporting Commission back in the 'States. First...well, an earlier attempt at entering the Olympics had fallen flat after bureaucrats had curled up and cried after seeing the already copious amounts of Allamunnic paperwork augemented by the copious amounts of Olympic paperwork. Naturally, they hadn't entered that time.

Then, of course, there had been the hooplah over the name: most people in the world still insisted on calling the Federation's residents "Fanboyists" which caused no end of wincing every time it was heard by an actual citizen of the country. Quite simply, "Fanboyist" was rather offensive, and was at least irritating to hear used in ignorance. After the first three or four international tournaments in the world that they'd competed in, it had been decided that everyone's grace period was over. It was high time the nation started being called by the correct name.

So, just be sure, numerous requests were submitted to the Kelssekians insisting that the nation should be allowed to go with the "A's", seeing as the proper name of the country was the Allamunnic States. Well, fully, it was the Federal Republic of Allamunnic States, but the important part was the last one.

Finally, Cassie Downing thought, irritated, they had managed to sign her up for the Women's Long-Jump without giving her a single team-mate for the event. And she had been placed on the field hockey team without her say so (which she was OK with, seeing as she was a rather good field hockey player), on the soccer team (not OK, since she wasn't very good at soccer), and would have been put on the handball team if she hadn't objected strenuously to it. As it was, she was trying to get herself removed from the soccer team. Like many Allamunnae, she didn't have any particular attachment to the sport where you kicked a ball around. She didn't dislike it so much as she was apathetic about it. More to the point, it annoyed her that they thought she could win events that she had never even done before. Although, to be fair, she thought, it could be taken as a compliment to the eighteen-year-old from Northwatch.

She also knew that it had been done because, quite simply, while the other events were important to the folks back home, Allamunnae placed a certain emphasis on team sports. So they'd be watching the soccer, handball, volleyball, and field-hockey teams with special interest.
