A Bad Start to Badminton?
Today was the first match day for the Men's Singles category of Badminton, and two Kalosian athletes — Nathan Zola and Rian Kruž — competed.
Nathan (competing under his real name Natanael Zola) was drawn to compete in Group 11. He played against Tommy Watson from Schottia but unfortunately was defeated in both rounds and is last in group standings.
Rian, meanwhile was due to play in Group 14. He went up against Peter P Larry from Britonisea but unfortunately lost as well to his opponent, and is now joint last with Quebec's Marius JB Reiber in group standings.
Is this a bad omen of what's to come? Or perhaps, as they say, when you reach the bottom the only way is up? What you can do is continue to support our athletes' journey in Kelssek and Vekaiyu — stay tuned as it unfolds!

ANNOUNCER: Björn Wang, part of the Table Tennis Men's Team, has been assaulted today in the Olympic Stadium today before his event in a few days. A male assailant with a knife attempted to stab Wang but Olympic security managed to hold him down.
—NBN News
The opening position from this havenic government is that it does not tolerate the detainment, beating or execution of Havenic citizens, no matter the crime that they commit. [...] Therefore, it is necisary that foreign governments do not take it upon themselves to detain against their wishes any havenic citizen, but rather to offer as a maximum punishment deportation back to the Haven in a dignified mannor. [...] If, following this the release is not granted, the Havenic government shall classify the prisoner as a hostage of the host government and shall deploy hostage rescue agents in order to secure a prisoners release.
—Havenic government advice (as is)
An offer of monetary compensation shall be made to the 'victim,' as we are confident that that is all he wants in pressing charges, and we are fond of providing charity to such unfortunate individuals; so unfortunate indeed that they are forced to press ridiculous charges against an innocent man simply to get the money they require to survive... We request that deportation is the maximum sentence possible, as it is the only sentence that this Haven is willing to allow.
—Konstantin Glavus
SCHLOSSER: "This is a country of laws, and they apply to every person within our territory... We will also not tolerate attempts by foreign governments to subvert the course of justice in our country. We are a republic and do not recognize any special privileges attached to noble or royal status. Furthermore, bribery of victims or witnessess is itself a serious crime."
Konstantin Glavus, for someone who is officially little more than a diplomat, has gained something of a fan club throughout the Haven.
—The Times of Iros
I am in no ways responsible for what the Haven chooses to do as punishment for arresting a member of its diplomatic staff. We now await the Kelssekians response, however what is known is that the Haven has very little sympathy for those who interfere with its diplomatic staff. Random cyberattacks by groups of citizens, terrorist incidents and other such occurences are known to happen...

The Official Olympic Broadcaster for Britonisea
Broadcasters for Estogium, Nightom and the rest of the Ultimaverse
Is Britonisea heading for an Olympic Flop, or will things change? \\ VIEWING FIGURES!!LIKE (5,059) | MOREThe Britonish are very disappointed at their own delegation so far, as this is proving to be a fairly difficult Olympics for us. Despite having a very large delegation, on the tenth of the Olympics, Britonisea has only managed to gain 9 medals, and is not expected to reach it's 25 medal target that it set before the Games had started. There has renewed talks on whether the Olympic budget should be, as the Britonish Government has decided to fund more money in to the Delegation but there has been poorer results this time around. To put it in to perspective, on Day 14 last year, Britonisea had 7 golds, 5 silvers and 6 bronzes, which is 18 medals in total. But this may be different because the schedule was shorter last year, and they also had a qualification process, which cancelled out a lot of other athletes, and Britonish Athletes successfully got the right to go to the Olympics. Though, it was expected that Britonisea would be on a level higher than it is on now.
The question is: How far is Britonisea going to get?
Far enough not to be embarrassed. Certain countries sudden success seem to have hindered the Britonish Delegation's performance as many of them are heard to have private conversations about how it is throwing them off course, and even some conversations heard includes asking for every athlete to be tested for enhancement drugs. Though, this was an eavesdropped conversation, so we shouldn't mention this any further.
In the Men's Singles, it seems that Britonisea is doing quite well as Bowie Salcedo and Ansell Fox both reach the Quarter Finals of the Olympics, and are not due to play each other, which means, they have a chance to both get to the Semi Final. If both of them go to the Semi Final, we will inevitably receive another medal to our tally. This will be revealed later.
Our Mario Atletico qualified for the Round Stages in the Olympics after running a fast time of 10.24, coming 11th overall, and therefore will be getting quite a good lane for the next rounds. We think that he has everything to lead him in to the finals. Darren Dupont Jared Mcguffie qualified in the Men's Hammer Throw, so that is something to look forward to, they came 2nd and 8th respectively, and are hoping to do a Britonish 1-2. Analiese Joe looks as though she is still taking her journey to an Olympic medal.
Below you find some figures regarding the Britonish viewing figures of the Games so far. The viewing figures are of live viewers1, and do not count the On Demand watchers. The event mentioned was the most watched, judging by session, at any time (the highest peak) per day. Due to the poor results from the Olympics, it seems like the viewing figures have declined, and it also seems that the IGBK may not be interested in acquiring rights to broadcast the Winter Olympics; rumour has it, Britonisea will be returning to the Winter Games, hoping to get it's best result (to be honest, our record in the Winter Games is one medal, bronze...), and the task shouldn't be hard.
IGBK station Percentage of Television Users (Avg)2 Number, Rounded to nearest 10K (Avg) Peak IGBK 1 - Day 2 of Athletics (Day 10) 21% 7.45m 7.60m IGBK 1 - Gymnastics-Men’s Artistic-qualification (Day 11) 26% 9.09m 9.38m IGBK 2 - Diving-Men’s 10 m Platform-finals (Day 11) 17% 5.94m 9.01m IGBK 1 - Water polo - Men’s - QF (Day 12) 15% 5.25m 5.49m IGBK 2 - Badminton Qualification (Day 12) 7% 2.45m 2.63m IGBK 1 - Day 5 of Athletics (Day 13) 18% 6.73m 6.79m IGBK 2 - Table Tennis (Day 13) 3% 1.12m 1.29m IGBK Sport - Volleyball - Men’s Beach (Day 13) 1.5% 0.56m 0.58m
1 One view is watching at least 10 minutes of a broadcast that is larger than 45 minutes, and 5 minutes of a broadcast that is smaller than 45 minutes. In this case, the Olympics run in 4 hour session each, so one viewer has to watch the Games for at least ten minutes for it to count. The ten minutes do not have to be consecutive, and do tally up throughout.
2 The amount of television users facctuate between 32 to 37 million views.

Day 13: Hope is not Lost
The games played today has built a bit of suspense for Kalosian supporters following the events as they unfold. Nathan Zola managed to beat his opponent, the Quebecois Christopher-Lil Twist Jones in the first round, although Zola was defeated in the following two rounds, rendering him last in the group table.
It was a different story for Rian Kruž. He defeated Marius JB Rieber, also from Quebec, seemingly with without as much effort as his colleague had to face. The two were joint 3rd in group standings yesterday; today's match has broken the tie and Rian is now 3rd out of 4 (no tie). Will he continue to climb upwards and qualify to the knockout stage?
Meanwhile, the Round of 16 was held today for Men's Beach Volleyball. Kalosia's beloved Paolo and Luka Sitšilianu went up against Matthieu Choquet and Georges Landry from Terres des Gaules. Both sides played very hard during the first match, with the opposing team managing to score 17 points before the Sitšilianu pair reached 21. However, they were willing to put up a fight. Choquet and Landry were not going to give up just yet, but Paolo and Luka weren't backing down. The second round ensued, and after a very tense game, Choquet and Landry were narrowly defeated and thus eliminated from the competition.
With the onset of Saturday night — a time of the week where nightlife is typically most active, sports bars are expected to have a night of partying. However, the journey is not over. Paolo and Luka Sitšilianu may have to face any of the following 7 athletes:
- Carolus Enderssen/Mihai Ionescu (Natanians & Nosts)
- Christian Heckathorn/Cooper Heckathorn (Unified Beretania)
- Ben Stephens/Parson Kennedy (Taeshan)
- Darren Eastlow/Tom Eastlow (West Phoenicia)
- Tim Peterson/Paul Slaughter (Electrum)
- Emmit Clausen/Alvin Richter (Taeshan)
- Cactus Heckathorn/Lenny "Buzz" Cordova (Unified Beretania)
Stay tuned for more coverage of Olympic-related news as Saturday night unfolds here in Kalosia.

Paolo and Luka Sitšilianu Eliminated from Men's Beach Volleyball
Sad news from Kelssek and Vekaiyu today — the only Kalosian athletes competing in Volleyball have been eliminated from the competition.
Paolo and Luka Sitšilianu, who have dominated our coverage of Kalosian athletes competing in the games, played against Tim Peterson and Paul Slaughter from fellow Rushmori nation Electrum, earlier today. Although the siblings had previously won against them in the group stage, their opponents delivered them their first (and last) defeat in this year's Games. In Kalosia, all eyes were on this match, in which Peterson and Slaughter won both rounds with the same score of 21 to 15.
