Ilyseum IC Information

Overview

Ilyseum is the name given to the territory controlled by the Ilysee Republic, centered around the Eternal Capital of Ilysea but the origin of the Eternal Capital lies shrouded in legend. According to the legends, around a thousand years in the past, a realm destroyed itself in a nuclear armageddon. The gods, in order to prevent the humans of that dimension from going extinct, transported a select few into their Realm, where the gods could play an active role in the lives of mortals and ensure that they never again created technology that was capable of destroying a world. At first, the new Realm was chaotic but eventually new civilizations began to form. One of those civilizations was centered around the city of Ilysea.

The city of Ilysea was founded over 800 years ago, on a dozen hills. It has since come to dominate much of the Realm, becoming one of its great cities, with a population exceeding a million. As Ilysea grew, the gods granted its legions victory after victory on the battlefield and a great empire that spans much of the Realm. Every day, traders and merchants from all throughout the Realm gather in the Eternal Capital's massive Marketplace to trade the rarest and most exotic goods, as well as every mundane good. As travel across Ilysee territory can take weeks or even months, the entire I Olympia Games will be contested within the capital and the surrounding regions.

The Realm of the Gods differs greatly from the mundane realm. In the Realm of the Gods, horses are the main means of transportation and the sword, the shield and the spear still the main weapons of warfare. However, Ilysee sorcerers are capable of approximating some technologies that most from outside of the Realm will be used to. Most notably, certain spheres are capable of acting much like a television and High Sorcerer Urien Kay will be doing his best to assist visiting nations in converting spherecasts of the Olympia Games into a format capable of being broadcast on television.

During the Olympia Games, athletes will be able to watch the 37th World Baseball Classic, which will be held mostly simultaneously with this inaugural edition of the Olympia Games. Tournaments involving the best athletes from Ilysea and the provinces are held in the Eternal Capital on a daily basis, as are gladiatorial contests. Those looking for other forms of entertainment can visit the Eternal Capital's brothels, which are famous throughout the Realm while those looking to worship the gods may do so at the numerous temples located throughout the city. Visitors to the temples may even get to see an Ilysee god or goddess up close and personal.

The climate in the area surrounding Ilysea is a mild one, so don't expect any extreme weather during the Olympia Games.

Any technology that relies upon electricity, batteries, gunpowder or nuclear energy does not function in the Realm of the Gods. While the gods have the power to permit modern technology to function within the Realm, they will only do so in cases where it is absolutely necessary and poses no danger to the safety of the Realm.

As an alternative to modern technology, the gods have permitted certain mortals living in the Realm to learn magic. Two of the more obvious examples of magic that every visitor to Ilyseum will notice are the spheres that function much like televisions and the magical spells that are cast upon blitzball players prior to the start of matches that permit them to breathe while underwater. A third example of magic is the use of portals which permit interdimensional travel.

However, these are not the only examples of magic used in the Realm. Magic is also used for healing, for hunting certain kinds of wildlife and for military purposes. As there are certain highly dangerous kinds of wildlife within the Realm, some of which can be extremely difficult to slay without using magic, athletes, coaches and spectators are encouraged to refrain from wondering carelessly into the countryside without a sorcerer.

Athletes that are capable of casting magic are prohibited from using magic during competition, under penalty of immediate ejection/disqualification. Sorcerers will be on hand for all events, as is customary in Ilysee sports, to ensure that no athletes compete under the influence of performance enhancing spells and to dispel any such spells should they be discovered.

While portals permit fast interdimensional travel, the magic behind them cannot be used for travel within the Realm of the Gods. In fact, any resident of the Realm who takes a portal to another dimension and then takes another portal to return to the Realm will return to the exact same spot they left. Residents of other dimensions are only able to use portals if permitted by the gods, who determine where they shall arrive.

Travel across the Ilysee Republic is very, very slow as most of Ilysee territory can only be traversed on horseback or foot. Chariots are often used for transportation, but safe chariot speeds on the roads are well below the speeds that are common in chariot races. Traveling to far off areas of the Republic is not necessary or recommended due to the long travel times and the dangers inherent on the roads.

Venues

Olympia Coliseum

The Olympia Coliseum, originally known as the Olympic Coliseum and built for a Summer Olympics that never happened due to a paperwork error, is a 74,327 seat stadium located on the outskirts of the city of Ilysea. Additional spectators will be permitted to stand on portions of the field that are not being used as part of an event. The Coliseum will host the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, the foot race events and the first four legs of Pentathlon. Obviously, the marathon will begin approximately 26 miles from the Coliseum, but the marathon course will take runners directly onto the track, where they will find the finish line. Blitzball will also be constructed in the Coliseum, in a special spherical pool, rather than in the Aquatic Arena located next door, in order to permit as large a crowd as possible to attend blitzball matches.

Ilysea Amphitheater

The Ilysea Amphitheater, located in the center of the city, is a massive complex consisting of many fields and arenas. Ilysee Hockey and all of the combat events will be contested at the Ampitheater. Two concrete fields have been set up specifically for the Olympia Games to permit two Ilysee Hockey matches from the same group to be held simultaneously. Several arenas have also been repurposed to hold various combat events. The Wrestling Arena at the Amphitheater will also be utilized for the wrestling portion of the pentathlon.

Ilysea Circus

The Ilysea Circus is a racetrack located roughly halfway between the Olympia Coliseum and the Ilysea Ampitheater that will host all of the chariot races. The circular track is 1980 feet long and 400 feet wide. The grandstand has seating for 103,405 spectators and standing room for many more.

Gregoryisgodistn Olympia Games Preview Part I

Welcome to the first part of the preview for Gregoryisgodistan at the I Olympia Games. We will preview all the athletes set to compete in this glorious competition.

Clown 0813UUXB is the first competitor we will look at. He is a clown and will compete in the bigae chariot racing as well as the quadrigae chariot race and the pentathlon. He will compete while wearing a clown costume, and his horses will wear clown horse costumes. He loves performing at kids' birthday parties, and once also performed at a pedophile's birthday party. He doesn't like talking about the details, but it ended with the pedophile being dickapitated, castrated, and executed. He is a very good clown, and won Clown of the Year three years in a row.

Loyal Friend of Lord Almighty Gregory Dumpy O'Rumpy Is A Horse's Rump And Quite Proud Of It Actually Not So Much The Rump As What Comes Out Of It will also compete in the bigae chariot racing. He is one of several of Lord Almighty Gregory's most loyal friends who are competing at the Olympia Games. His name reflects Gregoryisgodistanis' hatred for Dumpy O'Rumpy (real name Caleb O'Reilly), the Consul of the Free Republics, who aligned himself with hard Church of Saintland extremists, turned the Free Republics into a dictatorship shortly after Gregoryisgodistan liberated it from Consul Kulseth, and is generally an ass. Nobody in Gregoryisgodistan likes Dumpy, they all want him to be taken out, and someday they may get their wish.

Loyal Friend of Lord Almighty Gregory Death to "King" Andreas will also be competing in the bigae. His name reflects the hatred of Gregoryisgodistan for the so-called "King" of east Saintland. Gregoryisgodistan views Andreas' government of "east Saintland" to be illegitimate occupiers of what should be a unified Saintland under the rule of King Petrus and the ruling coalition. Their hatred for Andreas dates back to him running the Christian State during the Great War of Esportiva, and they view him as guilty of crimes against humanity, demanding his execution. However, Gregoryisgodistan views most citizens of east Saintland as victims of their illegitimate government unless they explicitly have declared support. Therefore, although east Saintland is on the Enemy List, for the most part their people are exempt from killing.

Loyal Friend of Lord Almighty Gregory Death to Dumpy O'Rumpy The Rump Of The Caballo is also competing in the bigae. His name reflects the fact that Dumpy O'Rumpy is a horse's rump, and he even named the rumps of his horses after Dumpy. The rump of one horse is called Dumpy, and the rump of the other horse is called O'Rumpy.

Soldier UCN8840A is the final competitor for Gregoryisgodistan in the bigae. He fought in the Great War of Esportiva and killed 693 Republicans. Later, he was one of the nuclear coordinators who launched the nuclear weapons at Associated Godlands when that nation was destroyed. He is a true military hero.

Loyal Friend of Lord Almighty Gregory Dumpy O'Rumpy Is Ugly And Smells Like A Horse's Rump will compete in the quadrigae. His horses will all wear Dumpy O'Rumpy masks on their rumps to symbolize the fact that Dumpy O'Rumpy is a horse's rump. He is also the creator of a cologne flavor, Dumpy O'Rumpy, which he created using the poop from his horses. It doesn't smell very good, but it isn't supposed to.

Loyal Friend of Lord Almighty Gregory Dump Dumpy will also create in the quadrigae. He has an unusual tradition of burning a Republican flag before every race. It has carried him to many victories such far. At the end of every race, he feeds an unburnt Republican flag to each of his horses, but only if he wins. The horses love eating Republican flags, so it should be lots of fun.

Loyal Friend of Lord Almighty Gregory All Hail Gregory Death To Dumpy is another competitor in the quadrigae. He is the father of Loyal Friend of Lord Almighty Gregory Dump Dumpy, and follows the same traditions. However, he also feeds his horse cookies shaped like Dumpy O'Rumpy in the event of a victory to symbolize Dumpy being eaten.

Loyal Friend of Lord Almighty Gregory Hail To The Lord Not Jesus is the final competitor in the quadrigae. He feeds flags of Associated Godlands to his horses after victories. He won his first race the day Associated Godlands was nuked into oblivion, so there's some symbolism there.

Enemy Crusher Krushy Burger Will compete in boxing. He is a humongous Enemy Crusher, weighing 975 pounds. For those who still don't know, Enemy Crushers are morbidly obese thugs who crush enemies of the state. They are considered heroes in Gregoryisgodistan but villains everywhere else. Enemy Crusher Krushy Burger is one of the few athletes from Gregoryisgodistan at the Olympia games with Olympic experience, having competed at two Olympic Games.

Enemy Crusher Fatty Krushdumpy is the other Enemy Crusher entered in boxing. He weighs "only" 920 pounds. He also likes crushing his enemies and would love to win a medal here in the Olympia Games. He will crush slaves if he loses, and maybe some other people as well. Like all Enemy Crushers, he eats at least five pounds of food a day, so the team has made sure to bring lots of food for them.

Loyal Friend of Lord Almighty Gregory Death Is Death will also compete in the boxing, receiving a Loyal Friend wildcard. He is very mediocre.

Sex Slave UU99Z is a 23 year-old female sex slave. She will compete in boxing to please her master. She is not very good and will probably lose in the first round but will compete in a very revealing uniform because it makes her master happy and that is her job.

Infant Slave OOC99SUE is the final boxer. He is two years old and will almost certainly not medal. But he's a slave and his master wanted him to box in the Olympia Games, so he will.

We'll be back tomorrow with the other combat sports, for a preview.

I Olympia Games, 2016
The Hazezan Preview, Part I

Welcome to the Hazezan Preview of the I Olympia Games. Here, you will find information on all the athletes and two national teams taking part. Hopefully, you will also be able to understand which of our sportsmen will perform well in these Games.

Chariot Racing:
Bigae:
Martin Onoffrio, age 21- Martin, one of the most promising young Hazezan athletes in chariot-racing, is at his first international games, and frankly he is not expected to bring home medals. Still, this Olympiad will be an important life-lesson, and when the II Games come he will certainly surprise.
Giovanni Lupo, age 34- Giovanni is the national Hazean emblem of chariot racing. He has been doing it since the age of 12, and is the best Hazezan athlete both in Bigae and Quadrigae. If anyone brings home a medal, it will be him, and we are all hoping he does as these are his last Games before retirement.
Erik Ghiscari, age 26- Erik has remained, through the years, a solid and stable racer. Still, he has never managed reaching great glory. Are these Games his golden chance? Probably; if he doesn't make it this time, the 26-year-old may have to say goodbye to the Hazezan Olympic Team.
Lorenzo Garbarino, age 17- Lorenzo is the youngest Hazezan racer in these games, and he is participating more for the experience than for the gold. Overall, our country isn't one of the best worldwide at this sport, but this boy shows us always that there is more to sports than just standing up there on the podium.
Umberto Tosi, age 27- Umberto, an experienced racer both at national and international levels, is one of the best Hazerls has to offer. Still, similarly to most of our sportsmen in this discipline, he is not expected to find great glory in these games.
Quadrigae:
Giovanni Lupo, age 34- See higher up.
Adriano Ciccoritti, age 22- Adriano has only recently become important in the field of chariot-racing, but three years and a half was all it took for the Western Hazezan to become an International racer. Maybe this time he will not make the first three, but rest assured; before the end of his career this boy will bring home a great deal of precious metals.
Michele de Sanctis, age 25- Michele is, at the moment, at roughly the same skill level of Adriano Ciccoritti. He will hold on to the international VIPs in their discipline, and might make it even into the final. Who knows, we wouldn't even be too surprised if he brought home a bronze...
Jake Destiny, age 18- Jake only became Hazezan three years ago. His family is originally from a war-torn country to the north, and Jake had never even seem a Quadrigae until when he was 15. Starting then, the athlete has been doing nothing apart from riding and racing. He is certainly an underdog here, and glory seems still far away from him. One day, though, all Hazezans are sure he will win golds, silvers and bronzes all over this World.
Vittorio Arco, age 31- Vittorio is nearing in to the end of his career, and sadly he has never managed reaching significantly high rankings in international chariot-racing. In fact, this is only his second international appearance, and no-one expects him to do well.

Combat:
Boxing:
Aymane Cheikh, age 19- Aymane, a second-generation Hazezan, had been into boxing since a very young age, and is now the best in the country at both that and pankration. The 19-year-old is at his first International Games, but his skills are unique, and we are all hoping, and believing in, him bringing at least one medal home.
Tilo Samić, age 23- Tilo is too a second-generation Hazean, but his passion for combat came out later in his life. This, unfortunately, means he is still far from unlocking his full potential. I am sure all of Hazerls can agree this sportsman is not risking gaining any trophies here at the Olympia Games.
Pankration:
Aymane Cheikh, age 19- See higher up.
Alberto Volterra, age 19- Alberto is yet another young Hazezan at his first international appearance. Still, differently from Aymane, he is not expected to be fighting for the podium. Even inside the country this athlete struggles to win tournaments, and his sport career may end abruptly, and too soon.
Riccardo di Siamese, age 33- Riccardo used to be a world-famous Pankration legend, but with aging came the loss of strength. While he remains a hard opponent to fight, this man has lost all of his speed, and these Games could turn out to be his last.
Wushu:
Martino Joahnsson, age 26- Martino is a fourth-generation Hazezan, and his family has been practicing wushu for centuries. This boy is something special, and the only Hazezan competing in this discipline. Sadly though, there are many better than him who are far more likely to go stand on the podium.

This was Part I of the Hazezan Olympia Preview, the second will most probably be out tomorrow.

Commonwealth Sports Team
Flagbearer: Lorie Cummings (Barunia); Olympic gold medallist, Judo
Number of Athletes: 21

The Maalvian Commonwealth Sports Association is an international body made up of nations connected to the former Maalvian Commonwealth. While that body no longer exists, the organisation dedicated to sporting relations between member states has been revived. Current member states are Maalvia, Barunia, Furellum, the Kyrjasmark, and the city-state of Gold City. The organisation will compete as a single team under the trigramme MCS, and in team sports under the shortened name Commonwealth Sports. MCSA is an acceptable abbreviation.

Note on races: The Union of the Kyrjasmark consists of 28 different countries, covering many diverse environments and people. The Valians are the denizens of Greater Valheim, which includes the capital Freyrhold and is the most culturally dominant of the races. The Alvrangi, on the other hand, are a proud people who claim to have lived in the lands of Fir Alvrangir in southern Kyrjasmark since the dawn of time. They maintain a seperate culture and language to the rest of Kyrjasmark, although they often also speak fluent Kyrjasmarkian.
The country of Furellum is located in a different dimension to the rest of the MCSA. Furellum is a magical country inhabited by anthropomorphic animals. The races listed here are the athletes species - they are bipedal, sentient, and capable of speech (although they don't speak English, and Furelese is a very difficult language to learn).

I Olympia Games, 2016
The Hazezan Preview, Part II

Welcome to the Hazezan Preview of the I Olympia Games. Here, you will find information on all the athletes and two national teams taking part. Hopefully, you will also be able to understand which of our sportsmen will perform well in these Games.

Foot Races:
Stadion:
Taddeo Archi, age 24- Taddeo is certainly one of the strongest Hazezans at these Games. He is the best 200m runner in all of Hazezan history, and is also renowned internationally. If he came back home with a gold medal around his neck, nobody would be too surprised. Still, we all know that athletes who are just as good as this man can be found around the world, and many of them will be racing here, too.
Kant Pauletti, age 18- Kant, a second-generation Hazezan, is an excellent Stadion runner. In the most recent Hazezan Championship, he actually managed beating Taddeo. If this is one of his special, excellent moments, it might be that we'll find two Hazezans on the podium in this discipline. Kant is skilled, and some say he is pre-destined to become one of the best this sport has ever seen, anywhere.
Simone de Angelis, age 29- Simone is the only athlete in Stadion who does not have a chance to bring a medal back. Very recently, he has started going down in level, and even before that he was never truly special. The third-best Hazezan in the most recent championship (behind Kant and Taddeo) he is coming along on a pursuit of a good way to end his career, not looking for glory.
Diaulos:
Taddeo Archi, age 24- See higher up.
Vittorio Base, age 27- Vittorio, for many years, was the best Hazezan at this race. Still, that was during a period in which our main sports were different. Now, his "disciple" Taddeo has certainly overcome him, and the 27-year-old has slim chances of finding a medal.
Dolichos:
Banji Sferruzzi, age 31- Banji's story, that of a third-generation Hazezan who's family is from war-torn Marche Noir, is something short of a miracle. He never won much in any discipline throughout the entirety of his career, but when he was 28 he started winning, and winning, and winning. Now a 31-year-old, this man comes as a great favorite for the podium in this sport.
Niccolò Ermenegildo, age 25- Niccolò has the blood of the racer in him. His father and his grand-father both ran the Dolichos before him, and they both achieved great glory. Sadly, it seems that this boy hasn't become as much of a great athlete as his kin before him. He is in the national team but is not expected to come even close to the podium.
Lavaol Garnerick, age 17- Lavaol came to Hazerls when he was only 5, but already then he was a fast and steady runner. He is still very young, and even though in these Games he is only taking part for the experience, it might ready him for greater things to come.
Marathon:
Orlando Bossi, age 22- Orlando, yet another highly favored Hazezan athlete here at the Olympia Games, always seemed a pre-destined. He got into Hazerls' national team when he was only 16, and has already experience international sports. Will he be the sportsman who stands on the highest platform on the podium after the race? We will see, probably yes.
Francesco del Corno, age 28- Francesco's marathon career is very curious. As a youth, he always seemed he would grow into an excellent runner, but as adulthood came he turned only into something mediocre. At these Games, fans worldwide will likely forget him the moment after his name has been said.
Mattia Arcore, age 24- Mattia, even though now a 24-year-old, is at his first international appearance. Unfortunately, we do not expect him to do grandly. Still, how can we be sure? There are always wildcards and he might be one of them.
Simone Dornoro, age 19- Simone is at the very beginning of his career, and we frankly don't know much about him. He seems average, but in this competition he might turn out to be a great revelation.

This was Part II of the Hazezan Olympia Review, the third will most probably be out later today.

Commonwealth Sports Review

Olympia Games Report

Team Announced for Blitzball at Olympia Games

Blitzball in the MCSA first became popular in Furellum, where magic meant players could stay underwater for long periods. That and a laidback attitude to rules means that a blitz game in Furellum may go on for hours, until one team gives up or gets bored. However, it was the construction of a bliztball sphere in Gold City that really sparked the interest of the other MCSA member states. That stadium was built after a visit from the Gold City ambassador to Furellum observed the sport. Since then, the game has found a home in Kyrjasmark, especially among the Alvrangi people of southern Kyrjasmark. This may be due to similarities between blitzball and a traditional Alvrangi sport, although the latter is played on land.

The Commonwealth Sports Team has found eight players to represent the MCSA at the Olympia Games. While it is only a short list, it is very much quantity over quality, with most players capable of performing in multiple roles.

Andre Titicus - LF
Team captain, Titicus is the star of Gold City's blitz-league. Young and cocky, he often shows off with trick shots on goal, which more often then not go in. Defensively though, he's not strong, and unless he gangs up with a teammate, most opponents will go straight through him.

Ron Zeevescu - RF/MF
Unlike his fellow countrymen, Zeevescu prefers the ordered structure of the regulated game to the Furelese free-for-all. So he is the only Furelese on the team, and the presence of a large lion (he stands over 6.5 feet tall) on the team is sure to terrify the opposition. While his height and considerable muscle give him an advantage in tackles, he has good technical skills as well. A good all-rounder, he's a decent blocker, strong passer, and a good shot, but doesn't excel in any one area.

Orvar Thorgisl - RF/LD
The leading Kyrjasmark goalscorer, Orvar is a straight-up, non-nonsense player. No trick shots, he just drops the all onto his left boot and buries it home with a powerful drive. His accuracy isn't quite as good as Titicus, but more than one goalkeeper has been left reeling from being struck in the head by one of Orvar's rockets. He puts the same physicality into his tackles, which is why he often ends up in the defense. Even when he is at the back, he'll often come tearing up over the top and fire a shot through the middle. He has a rather weak arm though, so he'll often throw short passes, if he chooses to pass at all.

Leighton Bull - MF/GK
It's fair to say that the Barunians are not the best blitzballers - they've come last at every MCSA championship. Leighton however, finds himself on the Commonwealth team as somewhat of a specialist. His one big strength is his ability to land a pass on any spot on the sphere with almost pin-point accuracy. His other skills are okay, and he has been designated the emergency backup goalkeeper, a role he will only take up if Kai is unavaliable.

Lokedis Signys - RD/MF
Physically small, Lokedis packs a lot of power into her tiny frame. A strong tackler, Lokedis is also a difficult opponent to shake off. Her balanced skills make her a good choice for the midfielder role, but her shooting skills are almost non-existent, so she'll often be used when a strong defense is required.

Njorda Alfjarl - LD
Njorda and Lokedis are legends of the game back home, after their team Fir Alvrangir won the MCSA championship against their fiercest rivals, Greater Valheim. Ironically, it was Njorda who was in midfield on that occasion, however his strong defensive abilities see him take his place at the back of the Commonwealth team. Njorda uses his strong passing skills to turn the game around after a successful tackle.

Bjorg Alfsindri - RD
A shopkeeper by trade, Bjorg is by far the fastest swimmer on the team. She'll use that speed to catch opposition players moving in on goal, or to set up a counterattack with a quick dash down the wing. She'll then try to draw the defenders, and pass in to the forwards as they charge in at her.

Kai Dolgrsonn - GK
Kai was originally the team's backup goalkeeper, but the first choice suddenly became unavailable. While not the best keeper, he has good stopping skills at anything other than extremeley short range, although he doesn't always catch the ball cleanly. He'll handle himself well as long as the defense do their jobs.

The I Olympia Games, 2016
The Hazezan Preview, 2016

Welcome to the Hazezan Preview of the I Olympia Games. Here, you will find information on all the athletes and two national teams taking part. Hopefully, you will also be able to understand which of our sportsmen will perform well in these Games.

Pentathlon:
Pentathlon:
Cosimo Asvisio, age 23- Cosimo is still young, but already a surprisingly good athlete. This will be his first international appearance, but this boy has already proven himself time and time again oh home soil. A medal might be on the way...
Youn Kalasinasić, age 30- Youn came to our country when he was no more than a babe, in his mother's arms. As a child he was a slow grower, but eventually turned into a perfect man for this sport. Even though he never was special, this man might surprise all in the games to come.

Team Sports:
Blitzball:
The Hazezan National Blitzball Association (HNBZA) came to be only six years ago, and so our national team has never had the chance of showing what they are worthy of internationally. Still, we all know this is not our real sport, and most probably no Hazezans will stand on this discipline's podium.
Ilysee Hockey:
The Ilysee Hockey Association of the Independent Hazerls (IHAIH) is also quite recent, but this sport seems to be working well in our country. Sadly, we do not expect a medal, but our athletes will put up a proud fight all the way through.

This was Part III of the Hazean Olympia Review, the last.

Bendian Morning Show
The Olympia Games Opening Ceremony

Left to right: Richard,Mary, Thomas

Grand Bendianii Kaliptzy
Richard:A great day to be here with you folks! The sun is clear and the weather's very fine. Dont you think so too Mary and Thomas?

Thomas:Oh yes its very great. Especially folks with a good coffee or some tea, if you'd like? How even about going for a little exercise to test those muscles and get rid of those fats and calories under the skin.Hahaha.

Mary:Very funny Thomas, bu as you mentioned saying of exercise, tomorrow folks is the opening ceremony of the much anticipated Olympia games. We have a big number of the most prominent Bendian athletes there at the host nation of Ilyseum and we..

Richard:How big are we taking Mary? Huh? Hahaha!

Thomas:Hahaha! I got that one right 'Chard!

Mary:Oh my Gosh!! You guys quit it! Hahaha. We have a delegation of at least 20 athletes. They will be participating in Foot race categories as well as as a contingent of boxers. Some notable of these athletes is 27 yr old 4x Bendian Marathon Champion, Paul Hardinger, who we are lucky to welcome today just before he heads to Ilyseum. Can we let him in now?

(PAUL HARDINGER COMES ON-CAM)

Paul: Good morning to you all.

Richard: Same to you my friend.

Mary: How you do feel Paul?

Paul: Fine i think, some nerves creeping also. But i think im ok.

Thomas:So Paul, how is it to be part of the Bendian delegation to Ilyseum's Olympa Games? Does it feel anything like the Bendian Marathon?

Paul: To be honest guys, this game is more of a big challenge than the other marathons. This is where i could showcase Bendian sports in its best. This is also where i could show to the world that Bendian athletes are in a grander scale. You dont get to say 4x champion and Olympian medalist at the same time right.

Richard: This coming opening night, what has the Bendian delegation have in mind?

Mary: Right! what uniforms?

Paul: Well, most of us are going to wave our flag and Krishna Felicia Drezkol, our only girl, gets to ride a destrier we rented at Ilyseum and carry a rather big Bendian Flag. Uniforms? Well its varies according to event or category. The foot race athletes are gonna come in with sleeveless black sport shirts in black jersey shorts and for the women theyre gonna wear blue jersey shirts and black short shorts. For those of the boxers theyre gonna wear lehter jackets and i dont know about their shorts.

Mary: Thank you very much Paul! Any last comments or words for the audience?

Paul: Thank you. To the audience, i would very like to invite you to watch us this Tuesday evening on Channel 17 or 20 as we play in the Olympia Games. I also encourage you to buy our T-Shirts on BZach Stores nationwide. Thank you all for the support!

Richard: Oh I am going to buy three for me and these two guys.

Thomas: We'll people, this has been a great day. Here were we talk the talk..

Gregoryisgodistan Olympia Games Preview, Part II

Join us, leave your fields aflower, as we look at Part II of the Gregoryisgodistani Olympia Games delegation.

Enemy Crusher Fattington Krushington The Third will compete in the judo competition. He is a brave, noble Enemy Crusher who is very skilled in judo as well as in crushing his enemies. He is a third-generation Enemy Crusher, and his father, Enemy Crusher Fattington Krushington The First, was one of the first three individuals to be certified as Enemy Crushers in Gregoryisgodistan. He weighs in at a whopping 875 pounds. He will love trying to crush his enemies while winning the judo match.

Enemy Crusher Krushdumpy Krushdumpy is another judoka and Enemy Crusher. True to his name, he crushes two statues of Dumpy O'Rumpy before every match. He is considered a hero in Gregoryisgodistan as he crushed 609 Republican soldiers during the Great Esportivan War. He weighs in at 825 pounds.

Loyal Friend of Lord Almighty Gregory Ugly Hair of Dumpy Is Ugly is one of Lord Almighty Gregory's most loyal friends. He was chosen as a Loyal Friend Wild-Card to compete in judo. He will burn a wig that resembles Dumpy O'Rumpy's hair before every match. He will burn another wig after every match that he wins. He will also burn paintings of Dumpy O'Rumpy if he wins because Dumpy O'Rumpy is ugly and evil.

Slave OC99S9F9D99DG9 is a slave competing in judo. He is not very good but his master ordered him to compete, so he is. He will likely not win a medal as he is only allowed to eat prune juice and gruel.

Slave OOMPALOOMPADOODADLEEEEEDOOODUMPYISUGLYANDIHATEYOU is another slave in judo. She is probably not going to win a medal either, but her master wanted her to compete to physically train so she can be stronger slaving for him.

Enemy Crusher Krushy Choppy is an Enemy Crusher competing in Karate. He is a skilled Enemy Crusher and a skilled Karate expert. He crushes enemies very well and is also amazing in karate. He weights 875 pounds.

Enemy Crusher Fatty Choppy is the other Enemy Crusher competing in Karate. He is Enemy Crusher Krushy Choppy's identical twin brother. Sometimes they like to ask people if they can figure out which one of them is which, and if they guess wrong, they crush them. They look very similar, so they're hard to tell apart. However, Enemy Crusher Fatty Choppy weights 895 pounds, which is 20 pounds more than his brother.

Loyal Friend of Lord Alimighty Gregory Shamwow Junior The Third was entered into Karate under the Loyal Friend wild-card. He is a very loyal friend to Lord Almighty Gregory, and even fed the Lord's pet ferrets while he was out of the country to sign the historic peace treaty with Saintland. He is only average.

Goat Herder IUFOIUSDF8U9 is a goat herder competing in Karate. He is not very good but has brought all his goats with him to Ilyseum. They can be seen grazing on the lawn outside the Gregoryisgodistani housing complex. They are very good goats who love him very much, and he loves them very much. But not too much, not in the Aberforth Dumbledore sense of loving goats.

Cheese Police IUOMPA9 is a cheese police agent. She is the only female athlete representing Gregoryisgodistan in Karate. She is not very good at it but got a wild-card for winning Cheese Police of the Year for 2015. She confiscated over 45 tons of illegal cheese between July 1 and June 30, 2015. Of course, in Gregoryisgodistan, the New Year begins on June 1.

Enemy Crusher Fatty Killy is an Enemy Crusher competing in Pankration. He is the biggest, baddest Enemy Crusher at these games, weighing in at a whopping 1,025 pounds, or over half a ton. He likes to crush his enemies during pankration while punching them as hard as possible. He will certainly be a formidable opponent, and may even kill some of the athletes he's competing against by crush, head injury, or both.

Enemy Crusher Krushy Killy is the second in command of the Enemy Crushers and will also compete in Pankration. He weighs "only" 1,005 pounds, still over half a ton, and is as formidable a force as his older brother Fatty. He will crush, punch, and even bite opponents in the Pankration. He will seriously injure and potentially even kill them. He is a force to be reckoned with.

Loyal Friend of Lord Almighty Gregory We Love You God was entered into Pankration as a Loyal Friend exemption. He is average, but also likes to tackle and punch opponents. He won't kill them, though.

Sex Slave JUNIEPER is a sex slave competing in Pankration. She competes in Pankration and acts like she's having sex with her opponent, only with her skimpy clothes still on. So she gets down on them. But she tries to hug and cuddle rather than fight, so she probably won't win.

Baby O9DSF8SDUF is a baby boy, just born last month. He can't even walk, only crawl. He can kick, punch, bite and scream, but not like an elite opponent. He can even claw you with his hands. But he'll almost certainly lose in the first round. He cries a lot and isn't potty trained, so things could literally get messy for the opponent even if they win.

Join us tomorrow as we review the remainder of the combat sports and start previewing the foot races, then join us on Wednesday as we finish the foot races and look at the team events.

And of course, Wednesday night, you can watch the opening ceremony of the I Olympia Games at 7 PM on Sport TV. All Olympia Games action will be streaming live at OlympiaGames.gs, and you can also watch whiparound coverage on several different TV networks depending on the time of day.

Whenever action is underway, either Sport TV or Sport TV 2 will serve as the primary network. Sport TV will usually have it, but it may switch over to Sport TV 2 if there is a World Cup of Hockey or World Baseball Classic match going on. Network 1 through Network 10, recently made 24/7 variety networks and renamed from Overflow 1 - Overflow 10, will also show coverage, live and tape delayed, at various times of day. However, there will be no tape-delayed coverage while live events are happening, because that would just be stupid.

After expressing significant dissatisfaction with the Olympic Games due to a change of host, numerous delays both before and after the change of host, and athletes being unable to compete under their names, leading to Gregoryisgodistani networks pulling TV coverage and a lack of motivation among athletes (though not to a boycott, since that would make us no better than Dumpy and the Republicans), this is being treated as the major annual showcase of Gregoryisgodistani sporting excellence.

Sports Minister Hiram Hield had this to say earlier.

"Our athletes were not very motivated in the Olympics, and I can't blame them. The Games were delayed due to a host withdrawal, and again there were a few days of no action during the Games. Furthermore, our athletes were unable to compete under their full names due to a host decision. It is clear this did not target specifically Gregoryisgodistani athletes, as athletes from several other nations were unable to compete under their real names as well, including The Archregimancy, which is on our Enemy List. So while we are dissatisfied with that decision, we recognize it was not specifically against us.

"While any of these alone could at least be handled reasonably, and the existence of all of them together is likely just a coincidence, it created the perfect storm that led to us pulling TV coverage and that, combined with all the other factors, caused severe demotivation in our athletes. We have nothing against the Paripana Sporting Council, which was just doing the best it could given a bad set of circumstances that were beyond their control. Additionally, some of the fault lies within our own body. While we normally inquire upon official submission of our rosters to ensure that our proper, but irregular, name format will be followed, and we did so when submitting the rosters to the Ilyseum Organizing Committee, we failed to verify again with the Paripana Sporting Council once they were made host. While it is possible the PSC would have refused to use the real names even if we had inquired, we have no way of knowing that and will decline to speculate or place blame.

"But enough about stewing over spilled milk. The Olympia Games are the real chance for us to prove our sporting power. We will dominate these Games, we will win a lot of medals, and we will show the world that Lord Almighty Gregory is God in all his might. For now, sit back, watch, and enjoy the Games."

Hazezans at the Olympia Games Opening Ceremony

In a meeting today of Paola Casamino, (our Sports Minister)the National Sports Outfitters, and her cabinet the games' opening ceremony was discussed. Straight afterwards, journalists from all over our country approached the politician, and this is what we learned:

I spoke with Mr Cristallino, the outfitter, and my cabinet. We decided how our athletes at the Opening Ceremony of these games will appear. Our plan is for all sportsmen to come atop a chariot, two by two, all in completely black outfit. The only athlete on his own will be Taddeo Archi, who is our flabearer. The chariots will be golden and the horses white.
Still, the tailors have designed a revolutionary outfit, that will seem completely on fire! It is hard to explain, but you will love it when you see it.

So what we understand is that:
- Flagbearer will be Taddeo Archi, the 24-year-old Stadion and Dioulos racer.
- The outfits will be as follows:

North Eurasian Unified Sporting Team hockey roster

Well first, the North Eurasian Unified Sporting Team is sending individual athletes from the following North Eurasian countries:

-Pays den Haut
-Southern Democratic States
-Prusy Krolewskie
-Hrvatska i Prekodunavlje
-Great Caledonia and North Hybernia
-Bangweulu Wetlands

With Prusy Krolewskie's national hockey team currently participating in the WCoH, the idea was to send Pays d'en Haut's national team, but with fewer hockey rules, the North Eurasian Unified Olympic Comittee is reluctant to send the team who claims to be the 3rd toughest team of the multiverse, so, finally, representing the North Eurasian Unified Sporting Team is Botten national hockey team. Botten (Bothnia) is a nordic country speaking swedish, finnish and norwegian languages.

Media Information for the I Olympia Games

Ilysee Hockey

While ice hockey is a fairly popular sport in Ficiscia, the Ilysee concrete variation is, for obvious reasons, not. Actually, nobody in the nation has already played it, and the national ice hockey team is currently playing in Hannasea for the 31st World Cup of Hockey. So, instead of sending a female, junior or amateur team, we have decided to send Tigres Urbaltum, the current street hockey champion of Ficiscia. All the players are amateurs, but they had shown a great skill in winning the national championship last year. And thanks to a lot of up-and-coming, former and narrowly failed hockey stars and starlets, the competition usually IS indeed tough. So while not used to Ilysee hockey, these guys know how to play on concrete.

They are physically more advanced that the average Ficiscian hockey player to cater to the needs of the more physical Ficiscian street game, which permits a unusually high number of ways to use your body as a tool to obstruct the opponent. Usually, the Urbaltese team tends to be fairly offensive, but faced with the stronger competition of international teams, they are expected to play defensively and look out for counters. Which should be very dangerous. They play in the usual Ficiscian ice hockey uniforms, black with a green and white vertical stripe on the right side of the front.

General Information

Ficiscia's team is composed by athletes who missed the Olympics (OOC I missed the deadline, IC it was a boycott in combination with a weightlifting doping scandal. Will talk about in the first RP) and university athletes that compete for the sake of living history of the ancient Olympics. Therefore, in some sports the difference in skill may be quite big.

Gregoryisgodistan Olympia Games Preview, Part III

Now, it's time for Part III of the Olympia Games Preview for Gregoryisgodistan.

Enemy Crusher Lardy Kicky is a brave, noble Enemy Crusher competing in taekwondo. He will kick his opponents and possibly crush them afterwards. He eats 20 pounds of macaroni and cheese a day to maintain his weight and even gain some. He weights 985 pounds and enjoys crushing his enemies. He is the number three Enemy Crusher in all of Gregoryisgodistan and will excite the crowd with his ferocious kicks and crushes.

Enemy Crusher Kicky Lardy is the cousin of Enemy Crusher Lardy Kicky. He is the number nine Enemy Crusher in all of Gregoryisgodistan according to the latest Enemy Crusher rankings. He also kicks and crushes his opponents. Like his cousin, he eats a lot of food, consuming 39 pizzas a day, all with extra cheese. He weighs in at a gigantic 980 pounds. He will kick his opponents until he wins.

Loyal Friend of Lord Almighty Gregory Off With Dumpy's Head was selected under the Loyal Friend Wild-Card. He is average, but is tall and may do decently. He will behead a mannequin of Dumpy O'Rumpy before every match with a special blade attached to his foot. Of course, he will take the blade off before the match.

Baby Slave XI98X was only born two months ago. He can kick and crawl, but not much else. He also poops a lot and isn't potty trained. He throws up, spits up, and pees a lot too. He almost certainly won't win, but might annoy other competitors with his crying and pooping. And he's a slave, so there's that.

Baby Slave XI95X is the twin sister of Baby Slave XI98X. She also isn't potty trained and poops and cries a lot. She won't win either.

Enemy Crusher Krushini Krushatani will compete in the wrestling. He is a brave, noble Enemy Crusher who weights 999 pounds. He will use a very violent, crushing style in the wrestling and may injure or kill opponents. There is no guarantee he won't. He may also dive on top of them sumo style after he wins. He eats 50 pounds of food a day, all awesome sorts, like cake, pizza, pie, and everything else.

Enemy Crusher Krushooo Krusharoo will also compete in the wrestling. He is the lightest Enemy Crusher in the delegation, at "only" 525 pounds. This enables him to be somewhat faster and more nimble than the other Enemy Crushers, and almost as strong. He is a solid medal contender.

Loyal Friend of Lord Almighty Gregory Moonie Goonie was entered under the Loyal Friend exemption. She is Gregoryisgodistan's oldest entrant in the competition at 81 years old, but is still a solid wrestler due to constantly wrestling her slaves when they try to escape. Then she beats them with her cane. But she doesn't walk with the cane, she only uses it to beat the slaves. She has 5,000 slaves who work on her farm.

Pervert Chaser CXU9349HSBD is also competing in the wrestling. He is not very good, but opponents must make sure their wrestling suit doesn't fall off, or their privates will come off as well.

Loyal Friend of Lord Almighty Gregory Electruc Rectum is 23 years old and is the Gregoryisgodistani Ambassador to Electrum. He named himself after the country he's in. He is not very good at wrestling but will enter anyway.

Enemy Crusher Fighty Fatty is entering the wushu. He weights 888 pounds and loves to fight and roar. He sometimes eats his opponents after he defeats them, but only if they're sapient ponies. After all, ponies are food, not smart. And fruits too. If he faces a sapient xylocarp from Xylocarpstan, he will crush it and smash it to bits. He doesn't eat people, though.

Enemy Crusher Fatty Fighty is also competing in the wushu. He weighs 889 pounds and is the cousin of Enemy Crusher Fighty Fatty. He too enjoys eating non-human opponents after he defeats them.

Youth Slave IDFSU98SDUF98SUD89 is age 16 and already the third best wushu athlete in Gregoryisgodistan. If he advances to at least the quarterfinals, he will be liberated and made a Loyal Friend of Lord Almighty Gregory. If not, he will stay a slave until at least the next Olympia Games when he can try again.

Baby Slave 9999CCCUU is one week old. He can go googoo gagga and spit up on opponents, but not much else. But he's a slave and his master wanted him to compete, so he will.

Baby Slave I9UDF98USD98FU8SDHYF is two weeks old. Her master also wants her to compete. She won't do well either.

The vast majority of foot racers are pervert chasers, and were selected by virtue of being ranked in the Top 50 Pervert Chasers in Gregoryisgodistan, then drawn randomly. Not the 50 fastest, but the 50 with the most dickapitations and castrations. We won't cover them individually because we're almost out of time and space.

Soldier UJEK959SF will compete in the Hoplitodromos. He is a veteran of the Great Esportivan War, fighting on the Republican front, where he killed 1,909 Republican soldiers and civilians and burned down 18 buildings, including a Church of Saintland Cathedral and a children's hospital. He is a true hero.

Soldier SODJFOIDJS will also compete in te Hoplitodromos. He fought on the Western Front in the Great Esportivan War, killing 1,924 Guaya Beans and setting fire to three Guayabalense schools and two Guayabalense hospitals. After suffering a minor injury, he returned to Gregoryisgodistan and gave the order to launch the nukes at San Jose Guayabal. This led to much death and destruction, and ultimately the Guaya Beans' surrender to stalemate on that front.

Soldier VMMMMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEME will also compete in the Hoplitodroms. He fought in the Great Esportivan War in the Navy, and helped lead the force that invaded the Free Republics. Later, he was stationed across the Strait of Santaguerra from Iesusisgodistan and helped erect the nuclear missiles pointed directly at that blasphemous nation to serve as deterrent.

Soldier LOSDFOSDOF9S995 is the fourth entrant in the Hoplitodromos. He was a pilot in the air force and flew the inaugural bombing mission in Hicana that started the Great Esportivan War when we nuked that nation into oblivion. Then he worked with other soldiers to lead the human blitzkrieg in the Free Republics and San Jose Guayabal. Eventually he crash landed in enemy territory after the Republicans shot his plane down, and he personally murdered 322 of the enemy soldiers and civilians before finding safety.

Soldier ISRHIURIU5U9SUFSAAAAAAAAH was the co-pilot of Soldier LOSDFOSDOF9S995 and is in the same event. He was taken as a POW by the Republicans, but was eventually freed. He vowed revenge and may get it if Gregoryisgodistan goes to war with the Free Republics again.

Soldier LLLLOR is 18 years old, a new recruit. He has not fought in any war, but is training for a possible war against the Free Republics or anyone else. He will enter the marathon.

Enemy Crusher Fatty Runny is a hilarious sight - a 750 pound Enemy Crusher running a marathon. He will be quite a sight to see, and very amusing. He won't win, but he may trip and fall and "accidentally" crush fans or other runners, if he can keep up. Which he can't.

Enemy Crusher Fatty Ialsorunnny is the cousin of Enemy Crusher Fatty Runny and weights 777 pounds. He won't win either.

Lord Almighty Gregory, or God himself, will also enter the marathon and be joined by his lovely wife, Cleffie Martinez. Lord Almighty Gregory will serve as flagbearer in the opening ceremony, winning a unanimous vote of his teammates, since he is, after all, God Almighty. He is expected to be a medal contender as, after all, he is God and is superior to everyone else. Cleffie may win a medal as well. He is the only true God in the Realm of False Gods, but alas, will be leaving after the Olympia Games are over to return to the land of Gregoryisgodistan. He's God, so don't doubt him.

In addition to the clown from Part I, Loyal Friend of Lord Almighty Gregory Dumpy Must Die Yes He Must So Must The False King Of Fake Saintland, Loyal Friend of Lord Almighty Gregory Fake Saintland Is East Saintland, Loyal Friend of Lord Almighty Gregory True Saintland Is West Saintland, and Loyal Friend of Lord Almighty Gregory Death To Dumpy And The Free Republics will enter the pentathlon. We are out of space and can't summarize them. Nor can we discuss the Blitz Slaves or the Hock Slaves, entering Blitzball and Ilysee Hockey. However, the Hock Slaves are also the Lady Ice Slaves and the Blitz Slaves are three-year old actual slaves.

That's all, folks. Join us tomorrow for the Opening Ceremony on Sport TV.

Olympia games: just what is this new sporting competition for the Haven, and why is its squad by far the largest?

One thing will be clear when looking at any photographs of delegations for this years Olympia games, a new event based on the ancient greek Olympics. And that is this: out of all the delegations, one is about three times the size of everybody elses, and that one is carrying the golden ship-emblazoned flag of the Greater Vakolicci Haven.
Just why is this? Well. The delegation entry limit is 77 entrants: 75 individual, 2 teams. That's exactly how many entries that Celeria wanted to make, and so it therefore went aheadand did. However, teams from Velstrania (52 entries) and the Vakolicci Haven (64 entries) soon followed, and at this point it was clear what was going to happen: an unintentionally massive Havenic team would be participating at these games.
What the Havenic team didn't have to do, however, was make it look painfully obvious. They could, for example, have used threeseparate flags, since three separate flags for Celeria, the Vakolicci Haven and Velstrania do exist and are used for literally everything else. They didn't have to take a massive group photo, stay in the same area, train together, share facilities...I think you get the point now, they didn't have to act like one singular delegation, which they were trying to claim to not be. By way of formality, they will at least come in separately in the opening ceremony: the Celari led by their King, the Vakolicci by Robert Strong, and the Velsturmen by Elirconas, the captain of their renowned hockey team.
The fact that the Haven is literally bigger than everybody else in this event should translate (should being the key word, no guarantees) into more medals. This largely depends on the performences of two people however, namely Celari athlete Maria Schtenko, and Havenic ao just who are these people? We decided to take a look to see where they came from, how they became so good, and what they're really like outside of the spotlight.

Maria Schtenko was born in Kelisroten, Celeria, in 1998 to the powerful leading family of Clan Schtenko; in fct to its direct line, with her parents being Ignus and Sophia Schtenko. Her childhood was one of privilege, though unremarkability for individuals in those social circles: one would not have remarked on the young Maria's athleticism or academic ability, because it was not immediately obvious in the least...largely because it did not exist.
Nobody quite knows what happened to Maria when she was aged 7, apart from the fact that it involved a car going very fast over and over the young girl's twitching body. What is known, however, is that she woke up from that event with bones, organs and muscles replaced with brand new cybernetic replacements; she was now far stronger, faster and more intelligent than the average human could hope to be.

Far from shunning her for her differences as was previously feared, Maria was seen as a hero upon her return (who else had survived an encounter with a hit-and-run driver looking better than when she'd started?) So much so that when the King offered a new round of dutchies, confiscated from the rebellious Pavlovic Clan, Maria took the most prominent one: the former Pavlovic seat of Altach, and it's millions of acres of fertile land that went with it. She was now Her Grace, Maria, of Clan Schtenko, Dutchess of Altach and Protector of the East.
Things went well since then for Maria. She graduated from Uldartre academy, the most prestigious school only for the very very rich of Celari society, with the highest grades in her year. She entered 3 Olympics, winning a gold and a bronze in the last one (both in wrestling.) She got married, though believes that athletics is more important than children. And she also found time to endulge her hobby.

Maria Schtenko's hobby is an unorthodox one, and descends really from Schtenko Clan tradition. 'To imprison a Schtenko is to lose a prison' is the general phrase, because Clan schtenko has a 'thing' about people who imprison its members. It tends to try and liberate them.
This is so much the case that the Clan has a group of individuals known as 'Liberators,' a few divisions of elite troops whose job it is simply to rai prisons across the world. The group, with over 60 thousand members, is led by one Maria Schtenko.
The Dutchess is one of the most capable fighters and tacticians that the Clan has, and is generally happy to show it. She leads deadly raids on prisons across Celeria and the world, and has only failed to recover the prisoner once. Generally, she recovers other prisoners as well, leading to her nickname among inmates 'The murderers best mate.' Indeed, many condemned men and women have woken up to see the wall of their ceel blown in and the smiling face of Maria looking down at them as they stand.

Politically, Maria is one of the King's most dangerous opponents. She regularly endorses groups calling for the removal of the monarchy (either by violent or non-violent means), and she is extremely critical of him. In the list of nobles most likely to rebel, the Dutchess of Altach is always ranked in the top 5, climbing to number one recently. However, for the purposes of these games, her nationality will come first: she will be marching behind the King in the opening ceremony.

Today, Opening Cenermony of the Olypia Games

Most probably, the our nation is the first delegation to march in the opening ceremony, because we are the first nation in a Alphabetical order (is not sure).
We send a delegation of 103 athletes (70 + 33 from hokey and blitzball teams).
The Alingan Atheletes are very exited.

I Olympia games preview

Ilyseum - The I Olympia games are about to start and the North Eurasian Unified Sporting Team is sending 65 plus one team of 27 hockey players. 31 of these athletes are from Pays d'en Haut. The flagbearer will be Ruling clan leader Paul-André, clan Bergeron who participates in Hoplitodromos. As a tribute to the North Eurasian nation who sends the most athlete (well ours), the North Eurasian Unified Sporting Team athletes will parade in Pays d'en Haut's clothes including the horse, sword and helmet:

Athlete preview

Simon-Pierre clan Villeneuve: Simon-Pierre clan Villeneuve is competing in Bigae and he's Pays d'en Haut's most famous racer. He's even more famous than his father (who died while competing) and uncle who are also well known in chariot racing. Any foreign nations should note that Pays d'en Haut is a medieval country with no cars where people travel by horse or carriage. Chariot racing is a popular sport in Pays d'en Haut. Simon-Pierre clan Villeneuve is expected to win a gold medal.

Nicolas clan Lemieux: Nicolas clan Lemieux is competing in Quadrigae and is another well known racer in les Pays d'en Haut. Nicolas clan Lemieux is pretty much aggressive while racing.

Barnabas Kiraly: Barnabas Kiraly competes in judo and he's from Hrvatska i Prekodunavlje. He has good techniques.

Grzegorz Kasprowicz: Grzegorz Kasprowicz competes in pankration and is the North Eurasian UFC champion with a career record of 21-4 including 9 knock outs.

Krzysztof Urbanczyk: Krzysztof Urbanczyk competes in Dolichos and he also competed in the XI Olympiads where he finished 13th in men’s 5000 m.

Paul-André clan Bergeron: Paul-André clan Bergeron compete in Hoplitodromos and he's one of the 13 Ruling clan leaders in les Pays d'en Haut and the minister of natural resources. He's the favorite to win the gold medal in this category.

North Eurasian Unified Sporting Team: Representing North Eurasia in hockey is Botten's national hockey team. It's a shame that the North Eurasian Unified Olympic Comittee didn't allow Pays d'en Haut's national team to participate. Our team would have destroyed every other team but insted it's Botten's national team representing North Eurasia. Botten is less tough but will certainly win a medal.
