Track&Field - Global Athletics Tour season 2 - RP/results

by **Liventia** » Mon Sep 26, 2022 3:42 pm

Following a successful first season, the NS Global Athletics Tour in track and field returns for a second, expanded, season.

Modelled on the RL Diamond League, the GAT aims to bring the world's best – and only the best – together in a series of meets, held across the multiverse, in a number of events but not a full complement as you would expect at a World Championships or Olympics. In other words, more selective and of higher quality.

This year, new events have been introduced in the 400m hurdles, 3000m steeplechase, 5000m, shot put, discus, and javelin. Additionally, four Challenger – second-tier – meets will take place alongside 12 top-level GAT meets and the GAT Final. All meets except the Final will now take place over two days.

At each of the meets, athletes will be awarded 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, or 3 points for ranking 1st to 8th in the final. In events with heats, all other athletes score 0 points. In events with more than 8 athletes in the final, 2 or 1 points will be awarded to the 9th and 10th placed finisher as well; all other athletes score 0 points. This also applies to field events. Should there be a second-tier meet structure, any events held under this banner will award 5, 3, and 1 points respectively for the top three finishers per event only. If there is a tie for any placing, the tied competitors will receive the average number of points for their tied positions.

In field events (excluding high jump and pole vault), instead of the top 8 qualifying for the last 3 jumps at each event, only the top 6 will take the last 3 jumps. The "final 3" system is not used.

At the end of the GAT regular season, the top 6 athletes in field events, top 8 athletes from 100m to 800m/1000m including hurdles, and top 12 in all other events qualify for the GAT Final in Nassau Bay, New Gelderland. The GAT Final will be a championship-style event, meaning it's winner-take-all and previous points don't matter.

The purpose of this thread is to post roleplays which will contribute to your nation's results. Roleplays will be graded out of ten, and will be weighted relative to others' RPs. This bonus will degrade slowly over time. The cutoff window is in the evenings European time.

Please don't post roleplays that simply repeat the results without adding additional information. "XYZ ran 10.91, ABC ran 10.93 and didn't qualify", will score 0 bonus; by contrast, "XYZ ran 10.91, blaming his poor timing on a sore heel," would score some bonus.

If you are hosting a meet this season, you're encouraged to post some information about the host city or stadium for others to use in their RPs.

All meets, except the Final, will be held over two days (throwing finals + sprint heats on Day 1, track + jump finals on Day 2).
"a" meets will hold men's events in the 200m, 800m/1000m, 3000m steeplechase, 110m hurdles, long jump, high jump, and discus throw, and women's events in the 400m, 1500m/mile, 3000m/5000m, 400m hurdles, triple jump, pole vault, and javelin throw.
"b" meets will hold men's events in the 400m, 1500m/mile, 3000m/5000m, 400m hurdles, triple jump, pole vault, and javelin throw, and women's events in the 200m, 800m/1000m, 3000m steeplechase, 100m hurdles, long jump, high jump, and discus throw.
All meets will hold both men's and women's events in the 100m and shot put.

Four second-tier Challenger meets will be held.

Global Athletics Tour returns to Orean for second season premiere
The Global Athletics Tour is back – and is literally picking up where it left off, with the Orean International Meeting opening the season later this week.

Liventia's capital hosted the inaugural Final of the multiverse's main athletics circuit last season, with five home athletes claiming GAT titles at Grovers Olympic Park. However, Tour organisers have downgraded it to a regular meet on the series, with another Olympic Stadium – the one in Nassau Bay, New Gelderland – serving as the host stadium for the GAT Final this year.

The Orean International Meeting is one of two Liventian meets this year, with the Neverend Grand Prix also returning in the second half of the season. Of note, the controversial indoor Nykipik meet in Timantirkas returns as one of four stops on a new second-division Challenger Tour.

Fifty-five Liventian athletes, including all five defending GAT champions, will wear the Red-and-Gold this season.

Barnum Zackary heads into Chartistan's first Global Athletics Tour meet with a backdrop of uncertainty

Chartistan have only ever participated in one Olympic Games in their entire history, those being the Games of the XV Olympiad held in Terranean Coast and Bunjil, Electrum. Those games were more about swimming in the hearts of the Chartistani public than the athletics showcase the members of the Juniper Project had to offer. Doireann MacClellan ended up scoring the first medal for Chartistan at the Olympics, but that's besides the point. The Juniper Project didn't return for the 16th Games due to "funding issues", so any hope of a Chartistani Olympic team faded off for another chart year. But at last, there's an opportunity for someone that isn't a clone to step up and show this country what it's made of.

The 2nd running of the Global Athletics Tour has allowed an 8 person Chartistan unit, including 3 former Chartistan internationals, to partake in athletic competition in hopes to accrue enough experience to make a run at the Olympics. The GAT, who's original edition composed of 20 events, adds 14 more events to its calendar, made up of 12 first tier meets, 4 second tier meets (Including a stop in Billboard for the Heatseekers Grand Prix) and the GAT Final, to be held in Nassau Bay, New Gelderland. The delegation, made up of 4 males and 4 females, also includes a couple players who will forgo eligibility to be selected for World Cup or Cup of Harmony action for this cycle, in which Barnum Zachary is one of them.

The 200 meter sprinter from the Musicville district of Billboard would've likely been a midfield contender for Doctor Combbrush's national team, but has personally come out that he would likely be placed in reserve if he hadn't gone ahead with running GAT events. "There's a ton of players who are vying for midfield roles. You have Amphibia, you have Tofu Ball, Yeet and a couple of new guys who would pounce on a chance to get a midfield role. Me and a couple of others thought that we'd be lost in the shuffle and end up on the bench, so we decided to head to GAT knowing that we'd not go into the World Cup squads and sit it out until 93. It's that simple."

As one of 46 athletes competing in the Men's 200 meter event, he's expected to have some tough competition throughout each of the 4 events. Among those is defending 200 meter champion Pete Norris of Liventia, who outran Aboveland's Edvin Lundgaard on home turf in Orean to grab the title, although he didn't fair well when the Olympics came around. To Zachary, that's just athletics. "You have an incredible time one second and the next you don't perform and flounder on the big stage. I'm just gonna take in everything one meet at a time and see how it fairs." Upon being asked about running against an emu from the StrayaRoos Barrier Islands, Zachary laughed. "An EMU? I know they're big in the Barrier Islands and all but there's no way that he's going to run away with it all when we're at Orean!"

Indeed, the first meet of the 2nd running of the GAT picks up right where the first one left off - Orean, Liventia. Zachary only has this event, Soluca, the Challenger meet at Timantirkas and Quickenden on his slate and a potential of 35 points should he win all 4 events, although the chances of that with a reigning champion, an emu and 20 others also wanting to end up on the top step are slim. Zachary, while on the marks, has more than just 200 meters to clear to end up outside of a hard place.

Controversial Nykipish Venue Returns to GAT as Aboveland and Nykipflugpuu Unite to Field "Plurinational" Delegation

VANKKAVALTA - The ABL trigramme returns to international athletics in representation of the Aboveland and Nykipiflugpuu track and field team, destined to compete together in the second edition of the Global Athletics Tour. The team, comprised of 33 athletes — including all four defending GAT champions — is, according to Nykipish administrator Kyrmy Kyrmynen, the "most inclusive" international sporting team to sport the ABL trigramme in history: a record 45% of the team's athletes are Nykipish, or of Nykipish descent.

In a departure from previous athletics and winter sports team entries, and in the wake of a low-profile Summer Olympics appearance for Team Abovian Union, the Aboveland and Nykipiflugpuu GAT delegation — retaining the team name imposed via the Tugiketorkkanvaartisaarto Agreement — was assembled through the cooperation of the Abovian Athletics Association and the Nykipish Tourism and Sporting Board. The two unrelated organizations' warm relations led to the surprise joint-delegation announcement on the eve of the GAT 2 meet assignments for individual athletes. In addition, the two organizations reached an agreement to define the location of the meet to represent Aboveland and Nykipiflugpuu in the second edition of the tournament: a prize which ultimately went to the ill-received and massively controversial Timantirkaan Sporttirakennus venue, in the now-pacified Nykipish capital of Timantirkas.

"GAT 1 was a trying time for Abovian politics and Abovian-Nykipish relations," administrator Kyrmynen admitted, "and the added fuel of [Abovian Olympic Committee head] Arne Kuadonvaara escalated things beyond athletics and track sports. But now, the separate teams are gone, and the competing venues are no more: we have one team, with one event to call home, and one common objective: to reconcile, both between our sister nations and with the sporting community at large."

Kyrmynen's comments refer to the heated, shadowy circumstances in which the inaugural Nykipiflugpuun Ihmyysporttityrnyy was held: at the time, the Nykipish archipelago was under the provisional administration of the Abovian central government through the MISTANYK peacekeeping mission, and massive question marks rested on the small island's capacity to hold a peaceful sporting event as the threat of social unrest and political upheaval grew — before the fact that the indoor sporting venue was reportedly far behind in its construction schedule. In the end, the tournament was held in front of a reduced yet enthusiastic crowd — as masses outside the venue, on the Abovian mainland, and across the multiverse decried the Abovian van Aalsbyyre administration's "disdain for Nykipish lives": a partial collapse of the building just before the meet began trapped and killed Nykpish construction workers under the rubble, and the event was allegedly held with the victims' bodies still trapped.

Returning President Kaisla Saari, who had spearheaded the protests against former President van Aalsbyyre as details of the stadium collapse surfaced, denied being unhappy at the venue chosen to represent Aboveland and Nykipiflugpuu. "The decision was taken by the 3A and the NTSB; the Aboveland and Nykipiflugpuu athletics delegation is an entirely apolitical body of talented men and women from all corners of the Abovian Union. I don't have a doubt in my mind that this is the path we must follow: one of unity, diversity, and plurinationalism. It's the only way Aboveland and Nykipiflugpuu will heal, and with that healing, the way that the Union can strive to become a benchmark for the multiverse."

Others, however, were not as thrilled with the decision, no less as the ABL athletics meet had nearly been awarded to the northern city of Bjørnskog: notorious for its high unemployment, emigration rates far above average, and a lack of infrastructure and industrial developments compared with the rest of the Union. Alpine skier and Bjørnskog native Sigrid Storstrand was "furious" at the decision, and believed the Abovian government should have taken action to develop the more neglected corners of the mainland.

"The government should have stepped in," she criticized. "It's ludicrous to hold another event at a place where athletes were running next to hidden corpses! I don't buy the Nykipish need to 'redeem' their image, either: meanwhile, nobody looks towards the derelict cities of northern Aboveland. Bjørnskog had begun to put a redevelopment plan into action to receive the Tour, and now we've been shunned in the name of political correctness and diversity. Abovians need help too."

Are you part of the 97% of Magnus Phoenicians who won't be tuning into coverage of World Cup #92 over on Channel 7: Sports One?

Are you hungry to watch sports that involve more than kicking a ball or slamming your head into it? Are you home alone with a broken ankle and the batteries in the remote are dying and you only have enough battery juice left for one flick of the remote? If that sounds like you, I encourage you to tune into either Sports Two on Channel eight or Sports Three on Channel nine where both broadcasters have promised minimal football recaps. Instead, Sports Two will feature live coverage of the GAT.

GAT you say isn't that a General Achievement Test, taken by students in high schools in a faraway land called Australia?

Well yes, but it also stands for Global Athletics Tour. It's an athletic event where the crème de la crème gather together in a series of meets to see who can outrun, out-throw and out-jump each other.
The winners leave with some nifty new titles to add to their sporting resumes and a wealth of additional experience.

Tania English, a former athlete in the high jump and now President of Athletics WP, the Federation governing body that lives, eats and sleeps all things athletics confirmed on the Athletics WP webpage on VibrGold;
'Forty-five ambitious Magnus Phoenicia athletes will take part in thirty-one events over three months for the Global Athletics Tour.'

Sixteen competitors will begin the journey at International d'Oréan, Grovers Olympic Park, Orean, Liventia, the first stop in the Tour.

We last appeared in Liventia for the XVI Winter Olympic Games, a doomed appearance for Team Magnus Phoenicia or West Phoenicia as it was known. Unifying several allied countries to compete together was a disaster. Images of unity, friendship and athletic equality may be good talking points for the Sports Minister. But we were only able to achieve eleven medals all up, and we only managed five. There hasn't been a bombing like that since 1946 when King Jarius Bush II died during the 2nd War against Quadripartite League or it might have been the 5th West Phoenician Civil War. History is not my strongest round in a game of trivia.

We are so often in Liventia competing in sports that it was a good move when both Phoenicia Anemoi and Magnus Phoenicia Air scheduled twice-a-week flights arriving at Danahue-Harley International Airport and Orean Airport.

I urge all my readers to check out the GAT schedule. If you have some annual leave saved and you are a sports lover I recommend travelling to one of the destinations hosting the tour, aside from Liventia we have familiar names like Sargossa and Ko-oren. The not so familiar but I want to mention Schutzenphalia and West Ruhntuhnkuhnland because having such a long name is cool. Banija is also on the list of hosts, probably one to miss if you are still upset. They took first place in the latest Lacrosse tournament.
Quebec and Shingoryeo are also on the list of host nations. It felt just like yesterday when our Summer Olympics delegation competed in Quebec and Shingoryeo and Electrum for the XVI Summer Olympic Games.

Many Magnus Phoenician athletes may feel a sense of deja vu as several competed in the same track and field events. Several tried but failed to secure a medal, this tour is a great opportunity for them to perform and improve on their last appearance.

While I wish all our athletes the best and may they make the most of this opportunity. I do wish to shout out to some medal winners who will be making an appearance at the GAT.

Silver medallist Hyperion Thomas returns to compete in the Men's 3000m steeplechase. His first stop is Liventia, so be prepared to watch his race on the television if you have opted to stay home and watch the event from the comfort of your couch.

Liesel Debney won gold in the 100m at the last Olympics, so she will have a lot to prove if she wishes to remain on top. She did finish in a very competitive time, If she can keep in that zone, I don't see her having any issues leading the pack.

Mercy Christos rose to prominence by winning gold in the women's 1500m with a personal best of 3:59.98. She will need to improve on that time as currently, Amaogechukwu Madu of Banija has a record of 3:53.51.
Mercy Christos fan page on VibrGold has downloaded tons of photos recently of her training, so fingers crossed it pays off.

Last but not least I want to mention Bernike Khan. A women's shot putter, she rose to fame winning bronze at the XV Summer Olympic Games.
She returned for the XVI Summer Olympic Games and did even better by pulling in gold after a terrific performance.
She is now one of the nation's sporting darlings until she majorly fucks up; which we pray she doesn't.
Bernike Khan is another one to watch, even if you don't understand shot up, her performance, humbleness, agility, and power are top notch. We wish her all the best at the Global Athletics Tour.

That's me signing off now. Be sure not to miss any of the Track and Field moments at the GAT which can be viewed on Sports Two or Sports Three. Stay away from Sports One, unless you are a hooligan who is into football at the World Cup.

Battle of the Titanesses

Aaron van der Westhuizen

If the last few Summer Olympics are anything to go by, it's newfound energy displayed in the track and field athletes.

"Our track and field athletes have improved greatly over the last decade. Funding of coaches with impressive resumes, the building of new training and gym facilities, and financial support for struggling athletes who belong to the Institute of Sport, allow them to keep their minds on their training without the stress of worrying about finances in the short term.

A newfound energy Athletics MP optimistically hopes will keep building in momentum.

Tania English, MP Athletics President was all smiles while posing for photos with track and field athletes at Grovers Olympic Park, Orean, Liventia during day one at the first stop of the Global Athletics Tour.

"It was like watching Titanesses perform on the sporting field. It was like an Amazon convention. It was a very proud moment to see so many women partaking in track and field alongside their male counterparts. While we need to remind ourselves it is only the beginning to have three female athletes perform to such a high standard to achieve a Global Athletics Tour record is an achievement they need to be applauded before. Many more to come I hope."

After watching the women's javelin compete. I feel a war of the Titanesses brewing between Winter Alexander and Cassiopeia Del Dorran especially after Winter Alexander's performance was a magical moment for the 19-year-old.

Silver XV Summer Olympic Games javelin medalist Cassiopeia Del Dorran who is not scheduled to compete until Meet 4 at Danvirk, Cordia was in the stands offering emotional support to her teammate.
I'm not a scholar in kinesics, but a poster by the name of What's Up Doc on VibrGold, "claims" to have completed a Bachelor of Social Science with a Major in Behavioural Studies, uploaded photos of
Cassiopeia Del Dorran observing the field event.

'Miss Del Dorran may have a smile plastered on her face, and the knowledge of when to applaud, but that is all conscious body language behaviour. She knew cameras and fans were around, it looked more like an illusion. Her real thoughts came across it other body movements missed by the less experienced eye.'

At the last Olympics Miss Del Dorran underperformed, her best throw was 57.19 and she finished in 38th place, a disaster when you compare it to the Games where she took out the silver.
Winter Alexander faired a lot better. Sure she wasn't moving mountains with telekinesis, but she had a further distance of 58.11 and a 33rd finish spot. A major letdown on both their performances.

However, What's up Doc went on to further comment;

' You could see the small headbobbing gestures from Winter Alexander's first two throws. You can picture Del Dorran thinking…nice average performance, leading the pack, but I'm sure I can perform better. Her eyes went from supportive to narrowing in annoyance after the third attempt where Miss Alexander threw a distance of 66.66. While additional attempts didn't have her javelin outdoing the third attempt, they were still all good throws. A vast improvement.
A smirk appeared on Miss Del Dorran's face when she may have believed Issoe Budoli of The Jovannic was nipping at her teammates' heels with an impressive 66.49, alas Budoli follow-up attempts did not go the distance allowing Miss Alexander to finish in first place.
Cassiopeia Del Dorran is a great athlete and the silver medal proves it, but you can see it's not enough. After the stellar performance of her teammate, she will be even more nervous when she goes into her first meet, she is going to want to throw even further than Miss Alexander, so she can show she rules the roost when it comes to Javelin'.

Is this accurate? Leave your thoughts in my comment section.

Is a battle of the Titanesses what the sport needs? There is nothing wrong with healthy competition between athletes. It will create entertainment and pull in new fans who may never have thought to support Athletics.[/i]

Stay tuned for more updates.

Afanc Strait to compete in second Global Athletics Tour season

By Beatrice Allaway
TBC Sport in Nassau Bay, New Gelderland

The Afanc Strait will send its athletes to the Global Athletics Tour, marking the first bite at the cherry for the newly constituted Afanc Strait Olympic Committee.

"We are so excited to be competing in this event for the first time," said Afanc Strait Olympic Committee head Alexander Lennox. "This is a perfect opportunity to get the kinks out of a dual representation in an international event without the high-stakes nature of the Olympics, with a lot fewer events going on at each different event."

In a written statement, Confederacy of the Afanc Strait chairperson Liam Penderyn echoed those sentiments. "I wonder what my tennis career would have been like if Ceni and New Gelderland had been under one flag, one banner on the tennis tour," he said. "I'm excited for the Confederacy of the Afanc Strait to prove to the world that this concept works."

As the result of discussions within the ASOC, the Afanc Strait Olympic committee will take on the trigramme "CNG", to represent that the committee represents both Ceni and New Gelderland. "I think it's a workable compromise," opined Lennox.

The Afanc Strait will send a full delegation of 50 entries spread across each event, although some events will understandably have better representation than others from the ASOC. In particular, the ASOC has followed in New Gelderland's footsteps by emphasizing field events rather than the more competitive sprints and middle-distance races. (Indeed, the men's 200m race has the most total entries with 46, while Afanc powerhouse field events like men's shot put and women's discus have fewer than 20, for example.)

From the Gelderlish side, the delegation will feature gold medalists from multiple athletics events at the Olympics. XVI gold medalists Sally Rowbotton and Tessa Forgrave will compete in the discus throw and 400m events, respectively, while men's world record holder Christian Willis will compete in the men's shot put event. Multiple-time long jump and triple jump medalist Emily Cook will also compete in both events, although she'll face her triple jump nemesis Câmila Garcia in this series as well. And long-distance runner Andrew Nassau-Green will attempt to improve on his paltry Olympic medal record.

On the Cenian side, Lennox is excited about a couple entries, almost exclusively in the field event: Senna Azexor in the women's high jump, Annett Westgreen-Sennerach in the women's pole vault, and Aki Tangent in the men's middle-distance races. "We're really pumped for Cenian athletes to compete on the world stage and to show the world what they're made of," said Lennox.

Azexor echoed those sentiments. "I know that we may not be the most experienced in international competition, but we're excited to get out there and give our all."

New Gelderland will host the winner-take-all finals of the competition in the Olympic Stadium in Nassau Bay, chosen for its hosting resume; Ceni's bid for a tour event to be hosted at the Cenial Halcyon National Stadium was not accepted, perhaps because of the work necessary to convert the stadium into a track-and-field stadium.

Liventia will host the first meet at Grovers Olympic Park in Orean, another former Olympic host stadium.

"We wish good luck to all our athletes competing in Orean, and in future events," said Penderyn. "We want as many athletes to represent us in Nassau Bay as possible."

THE BILLBOARD GAZETTE

ANNYEONG HASEYO, TRACK AND FIELD!

Official Chartistan Athletics Team launch a true showcase of Chartistani talent

Barnum Zachary's 4th place outing at the first event of the Global Athletics Tour event of the season wasn't really the debut of the Chartistan track and field team. If there was anything to put on the first showcase, even if it was just one lone athlete, of Chartistan's non-clone athletic prowess, it wasn't a guest staring role or a cameo on the course for 20 seconds - Okay, Zachary maybe guest-starred on this episode of the Siimon Salonen Show - It was with wonder and awe.

Barnum was almost immediately thrusted into the Orean limelight with a debut performance that buzzed through the Grovers Olympic Park all the way to the locker room nest. Here was an absolute rookie to the track game up against Olympic caliber talent... 2nd best showing through the heats, only topped by GAT champion Pete Norris's sub-20 run. A stroke of beginner's luck helped by the fact that nobody else was putting the pressure on him - Up until when he actually went to the Final for that weekend. Only a margin that can best be described as one singular kiwi seed against StrayaRoos competitor Adam Djili kept him in 4th place and, for the time being anyways, in GAT Final contention.

When Zachary stepped foot in Quebecois territory, more specifically in a hotel just outside Joongyeong for the Chartistan Athletic Team launch, he felt like a track star.

When more than half of the competitors are competing in their first meet, a sharp increase from the lone Zachary tying his track shoes in Orean, the team naturally decided that it was best for the team to "launch" at the Meeting de Joonyeong, the 2nd event on the 17 meet schedule. The 8 athletes were given a star treatment, cameras flocking them every which way. Almost all of them dressed for the occasion - All except Wank Hesky, his idea of fancy was like a date night at a fast casual establishment with creme cookie shakes. He had to wear "dad clothes".

Pole vaulter Grant Coles was perhaps the person everyone's cameras were fixated to. Nearly voted into the exclusive club of "Chartistan's Sexiest Man Alive", a pantheon reserved for only Chartistan's hottest hunks and that one dude who ended up getting a mistress and sending some... Shall we say catfish material messages, the tall, sunglass wearing man was seemingly posing for magazine covers in the middle of him walking over to the conference room.

To put it another way, Coles was getting the ladies.

The launch itself, like any normal WGPC car launch, was more of a showcase of things Chartistan wanted to showcase that weren't really the track team until the track team was wearing their uniforms, rather blatantly hidden underneath their dresses and suits and dad clothes. White with splashes of red and blue and yellow like the Chartistan flag, it was a far cry from the purple jerseys the football team wore, but to put it in the words of Hesky, "It's Chartistan. Why settle for different when you can have Chartistan?" Hesky was drinking beer from a styrofoam cup he had brought in from Billboard, but that was besides the point.

Hesky, Sorenson, Zachary, Coles, Wonderworld, Victoria, Kurate and Williams, while not the team that you'd expect to represent Chartistan if you payed any attention to the since-canned Juniper Project, felt like 8 humans who genuinely knew about each other and had things to say, unlike the cookie cutter clones from 2 Olympiads ago. They are a unit first and foremost and, although he was virtually left alone by himself in that first meet, Zachary did receive messages from his peers, especially Niam Sorenson. "When I saw him run for the first time outside practice, I knew that Barnum had something in him," the Musicville resident said. "If I had to choose between a steam train and Barnum Zachary to send to the Olympic Games, 95 times out of a hundred I choose Zachary. He's more reliable than a damn steam train!"

After a couple of group photos with all 8 team members and a 7 glass, one styrofoam cup toast, it finally felt like Chartistan were getting into athletics. How Wank Hesky, Grant Coles, Alice Wonderworld, Janice Victoria and Lindsey Williams will fare, however, is up to fate, wisdom, and a little less reliance on dimension hopping and venting about an ex to a nursery rhyme to decide.

Athletics - not Ko-oren's biggest forte in the last Olympics. Water sports (pretty much everything apart from swimming), gymnastics, and various other disciplines are all seen as the core curriculum, yet some will tell you that athletics (and swimming) are 'easy medals' due to the amount of events. There's some truth to that: a fantastic swimmer can win multiple medals but a fantastic skateboarder can only win your nation so much. There's also not a lot of truth to it: everything is competitive.

It's fairly necessary for Ko-oren to join the GAT: it will pit us against the best of the multiverse more often, and hopefully that helps with our preparations for the next Olympics as well as function as very important measuring points on the way there. That said, the GAT is also a great competition on its own. Something we'll find out soon: the third meet (out of 13) will be held in Sathtonoru, late enough that we should have an idea what the rhythm of the GAT is, early enough to generate some hype for the meets that follow it. Some other places on the list: Liventia, obviously, but also Quebec and Shingoryeo, Sargossa, Banija, StrayaRoos, Darmen, and then finishing in New Gelderland. Sathtonoru is a 'b' event, which means that we will see the longer distances for men (400m, 3000m, 5000m, 400m hurdles, among others) and shorter distances for women (200m, 800m, 1000m). The men also get the triple jump, pole vault, and javelin throw, while the women get long jump, high jump, and discus.

Sathtonoru is a small-ish city, a short distance away from the Capital cities, in particular Senoren. Most visitors will fly into Willowbourne International Airport, from which a frequent intercity train takes you to Senoren (most likely advertised as either an intercity train terminating in Gehrenna, make sure to check the intermediate stations). At Senoren, change for the line terminating in Tepkusoren, and after a few short minutes, you roll into Sathtonoru. The city lies in the subdivision of Mayara, where Gehrennan is spoken, in a smaller region called Jatunar (historically: Jattulnar), a low-lying region on the western end of the Bay of Ko-oren. A few lakes dot the eastern outskirts of town, from which you can easily spot the skylines of Senoren and Maethoru. On clear days, you can make out the city of Gehrenna as well, and even the western mountains, a little over 100 km away. In the realm of sports, Sathtonoru has been put on the map with the Olympic Academy, of which there are twelve strategically placed throughout the country. Other sports are played, but the only team with any kind of notoriety is the third-tier soccer club Sathtonoru Kaptu. For entertainment, your best bet is to go to Senoren.

In the GAT, we're looking for a few athletes that we think can be contenders:
Men, running
- Noé Noland, 110m hurdles
- Aemeni Aacella, 400m hurdles

Men, other
- Librecht Reigerhaag, high jump
- Ladislas Hogue, pole vault

Women, running
- Phoebe Abingwater, 5000m
- Eshe Saigmaura, 100m hurdles

Women, other
- Cyra yFergwsinion, long jump

GAT Once Again

Blanco Borrayo reports from Orean;

It proved a struggle in truth, to balance the demands of the inaugural Global Athletics Tour with the domestic calendar. A struggle that Sargossan Athletics Authority didn’t entirely overcome. But athletics is something taken rather seriously across the Greater Republic. So, when season two of the GAT appeared on the horizon there was little doubt that the SAA would once again attempt to make it work. Particularly off the back of a near forty medal haul from the recent Olympic Games in Electrum and Quebec and Shingoryeo, a quarter of which were won in the athletics disciplines. This time around lessons will hopefully have been learnt, as schedules are finessed, and logistical challenges faced with a greater understanding of their implications.

Much to the delight of the fans back home, who love nothing better than watching their sporting heroes in the throes of international competition. Normally such occasions were solely limited to football. Not so anymore. And there are some particular names that they were be looking out for.

Sargossan sprinting has been a little in the doldrums in recent years, with generations of athletes haunted by the great names of the past. Talía Espinar is playing her part in arresting that decline, having followed up taking the 100m title at the Season 1 grand final by claiming Olympic bronze in Prescott. There was a time that the constant attention seemed to wear Talía down. But she appears to have overcome that and is maturing into a genuine world class performer. As too is Francisca Velasco, who comes into the GAT as the one to beat in the Steeplechase events. There’s nothing like an Olympic gold medal to make a statement in that regard. Both Alita De los Reyes (bronze in the 400m Hurdles) and Agota Escobar (bronze in the 10,000m) are also arriving for the first event in Orean having claimed some Olympic hardware.

But back in Prescott the field events on the women’s side were something of a disappointment. Ysabel Anzures will be an athlete particularly on the hunt for success. She has been hitting some serious distances in the javelin events in the Azul League and finished in an agonising fourth place in the Olympic final. Natalia Reyes will also be looking to translate good domestic form onto the international stage, having disappointed in the Olympic pole vault final.

On the men’s side the undisputed star of the show is Luis Andino. The Olympic Triple Jump champion had long since outstripped any domestic rival before topping the podium in Electrum. He’ll be hoping to continue his hot streak across the GAT venues. As too will Marco Carballal in the high jump and fellow silver medallist, sprinter Óscar López. But where the SAA are really hoping to see improvement is in the 400m, where Ángel Mina is an athlete of huge potential but just can’t seem to get his race to click when it really counts. He’s going to have several attempts to correct that fact in the coming months.

The first GAT event in Orean provided an early opportunity to see some of Sargossa’s Olympic medallist in action. And they did not disappoint. Alita De los Reyes looked at ease in winning the 400m hurdle event. And Agota Escobar went even better in the 5,000m, setting a tour record as she finished nearly four seconds clear of her closest competitor. Natalia Reyes’s poor form continued though, as she could only manage seventh place in the pole vault. Another competitor suffering through a malaise at the moment is Lorenzo Rubio. The tour long jump record holder has had a lean year at home and followed that by finishing 24th of 25 competitors in the Olympic final. A fourth place finish in Orean wouldn’t have improved his mood much. And Óscar López could only manage fifth place in the 100m final. Perhaps keeping his powder dry for his favoured 200m events.

What is "Kirungabi Itangira Guhera"? A Brief Introduction by First Lady Musabyimana Uburiganya

Twenty-three years ago, along the hills of the Kahawa Valley, Kanika Umuhoza hid in a coffee bush, fearing for her life. The cries of her slain husband, Mutoni, echoed across the valley; his blood ran down the slope as the boots of the retreating Fupi mashetani made the earth below her feet tremble. "Where are the women?" the soldiers barked angrily, their intentions implicit and abhorrent, swinging their batons and cocking their guns when they were left unanswered; the screams and sobs of Lucienne, her neighbour; Gregoire, her educator; Mwamini, the village doctor; all faded as the march of the boots grew quieter, and the sounds of slashing and goring more distant. Hiding in the bushes, Kanika prayed for God to spare her, to protect her and the unborn son she was protecting, from the horrors of the genocide.

The razing of the village, the slaughter of her Barebare brethren, finished no sooner had it begun; she knew it was safe to emerge from the bushes and make her way back up to her home when the patter of a small contingent of the Kirungabi Barebare Liberation Front underscored the timid chirp of the crickets, as night fell on what embers remained of the settlement of Cyimvura. Into the next day, some KBLF officers remained at the village, and as the pink dawn sun clawed its way through the thick brush of the foggy valley, her son was born. She named him Nsengiyumva: "I pray to a God that hears", and his shrill newborn cries echoed across the valley as those of his late father had the evening prior.

The vicious, inhuman attack of the mashetani had a lasting effect on Kanika: her scars, inside and out, bore the weight of the genocide and put it on display; even her brain chemistry was stunted by the hours of torment and misery she had had to endure. Her story is one shared and carried by every Barebare alive today: it affects our children, our spouses, our teachers, our leaders, our doctors, our firemen, our police. As refugee camps and relocation facilities sprung up across the territory of liberated Kirungabi, Barebare began to try to rebuild their lives from the depths of the genocide — but they could not do it alone.

In 2003, I married my beloved, Innocent Uburiganya, and together, we created the Kirungabi Itangira Guhera development program: "Kirungabi Starts Again". The program, aimed at reintegrating Barebare victims of the genocide into society, encouraged the building of unity and a national identity between Barebare and Fupi. Immediately, hundreds of thousands of Barebare were admitted into the program, and with our support, the future of Kirungabi started to take shape. The first few years of the program were fruitful, as refugee camps became villages that became towns, and widowed, injured, scarred, and orphaned Barebare started to carve their own life paths with access to healthcare, housing, and food. But together with Innocent, we both believed there must be some way to further promote the healthy development of our young population, and to unite Kirungabi through a common vein, on the path to reconciling the very real, and very deep, differences between Barebare and Fupi.

The city of Ville Amahoro became the base of Kirungabi Itangira Guhera when it was grown out of the Amahoro Refugee Camp in 2007, and in 2008, I launched the Sporting Commission within KIG. Through this Commission —and opening the program to include all talented and promising young Kirungans — the program became a universal project behind which all of Kirungabi could rally and stand proud with. It was then that I met Kanika and young Nsengiyumva personally, as I did with the hundreds of Barebare who relocated from their tents in their displacement camps to the shining beacon of progress that is Ville Amahoro.

Nsengiyumva and thousands of other young Kirungans thus began their sporting journeys all across Kirungabi, as the reach and influence of our Kirungabi Itangira Guhera program spread and grew. Some athletes entered the tennis program in Imisozi; others, like Yaradukijije Rutaganda, pursued the wondrous, high-octane world of auto racing; but the backbone, and the pride, of the KIG Sporting Commission, lies in its athletics program. It is thanks to it — to our hard work and investment, and to our drive, passion, and will to let the demons quench us and make us stronger, that Kirungabi today is more than a nation ravaged and a people dividided by a genocide. Kirungabi Itangira Guhera develops the brave, tough, and incorruptible champions of the future.

Twenty-three years ago, Kanika Umuhoza believed she would die, butchered in amongst the coffee bushes of her quiet southern village. Today, her then-unborn son Nsengiyumva has beat international athletes in the qualifying rounds of his maiden international sporting event. My sincerest congratulations go out to him and the rest of the delegation of Kirungabi in the Global Athletics tour, for their worthy performances in the first meet of the championship in Neverend, Liventia.

Icyubahiro Kirungabi!

GAT: Afanc Strait takes opening meet by storm with victories in steeplechase, long jump, pole vault

By Beatrice Allaway
TBC Sport in Orean, Liventia

Henry Ormskirk, Alexander Sennacherib and Annett Westgreen-Sennerach all won their events in their Global Athletics Tour debut.

The latter two won in their first international competitions ever, marking a positive start for Cenian athletes competing under the Afanc Strait banner for the first time, while Ormskirk's victory comes after two Olympic Games under the shadow of Noah Mercer, widely regarded as the best long jumper produced by New Gelderland.

"We are absolutely thrilled by these performances, but there's still a long while to go to be crowned global athletics champion," said Alexander Lennox, head of the Afanc Strait Olympic Committee. "Nonetheless, I think these initial results show that Cenian athletes can indeed compete on the international stage without too much transition needed."

In the long jump, Ormskirk immediately set the mark that would win him the meet, at 8.24 meters. But he abandoned the next two attempts after the run-ups "didn't feel right" to him, as he put it in an interview; his mark seemed safe as the nearest competitor was still seven centimetres short. But Luiz Campos of Costa de Ouro, a former Olympic champion himself, put himself in contention with a mark equaling Ormskirk's.

"Yeah, that was nerve-wracking, to see Luiz make his next two attempts. Of course, I was pleased when he missed the next two, since my second best attempt was miles ahead of his," Ormskirk said. Thomas Moravia of The Jovannic took the bronze with that aforementioned 8.17 meter mark.

In the steeplechase, Sabu Chowdhury of Magnus Phoenicia was Sennacherib's main competition, and the two ran together neck-and-neck despite all the obstacles. But it was the final stretch that sent Sennacherib over the edge, beating Chowdhury in a photo finish and handing him a tour record for his efforts.

"Yeah, baby!" Sennacherib said while panting after his valiant effort.

And in the pole vault, the result was hardly in doubt after Westgreen-Sennerach cleared the 4.72 meter bar and rival Phoebe Hughes did not, after the requisite three attempts. But Westgreen-Sennerach had another target in mind, besides the meet victory: the tour record of 4.90 meters, set by Alicia Mills of Hannasea last season. She fell short on the penultimate attempt, failing to clear the 4.87 meter bar.

"Don't you worry about it, I'll be back!" she declared in a post-competition interview. "Sure, I didn't make it this time, but this isn't my only bite at the cherry."

On first glance, it appears that the combined Cenian-Gelderlish delegation will have Magnus Phoenicia, which subsumed the better-known Kingdom of West Phoenicia, as a main rival in this tour. Magnus Phoenicia's athletes won four events across both days in Orean, despite being pipped by Cenian athletes on two occasions. However, it should be cautioned that only one meet out of twelve has taken place, and event organizers would probably warn against trying to turn a competition for individual athletes into a nation-versus-nation contest.

The tour will now move on to Joongyeong, the capital of Quebec and Shingoryeo, where 12 Cenian and Gelderlish athletes will compete. Athletes to be watched will include recent Olympic gold medalist Sally Rowbotton in the discus throw, shot put record holder Christian Willis, and multiple Olympic medalists Andrew Nassau-Clark and Emily Cook in the 5000-meter and long jump, respectively.

Joongyeong's refurbished Parc de l'Armistice ready to welcome visitors for the GAT II

Parc de l'Armistice in middle of the Shingoryeoite National Games last March.

Patrice Moreno

JOONGYEONG, JOONGYEONG - The recently-rebuilt Parc de l’Armistice in Joongyeong is looking to host the second event of the twelve-event Global Athletics Tour series on Oct 14-15.

The event, the first international event to be held in the sport of athletics since its refurbishment and repurposing into a multi-purpose stadium, will be used as a test event for a possible joint Summer Olympics bid, slated to be held in around six years’ time.

The PDA, technically named the Parc de l’Armistice at CSKA Complex due to its location in middle of the multi-sports club named after the the Royal Quebecois Armed Forces, is also expected to be used for opening and closing ceremonies of a prospective Winter Olympics bid in four years’ time.

While no official statements have been made, it is rumoured that the prospective bid will look into past precedence established by Yeaddin-Neverend Winter Olympics fourteen years ago, with Joongyeong will be hosting the ice-based events while Eiran Mountains of New Gelderland are expected to host snow-based events.

The new stadium, informally known by many as the PDA ver. 3, holds 78,000 in athletics, a figure that’s considered to be slightly bigger than the average size of athletics venues across the world. It holds the ability to reduce seating, however, with the removal of up to 18,000 seats to allow for the spectators’ convenience in events where such measures, usually driven by security or other logistics-related demands, would permit so, or in the case where event hosted would hold larger demand for the press than usual. The hosting committee did not clarify if there will be VIP seating areas constructed in the near future.

The Quebecois interest in the meeting is known to be quite high. Then just-completed stadium was visited by the Royal Quebecois Olympic Committee President Arlene Lafontaine, who expressed great delight in the state of the reconstructed stadium.

‘This stadium is a top-class facility, and there’s nothing to deny about it,’ Lafontaine said with enthusiasm at the Shingoryeoite National Games last March, ’At the Parc de l’Armistice, the venue long remembered for the lives and sacrifices of the people, I see a phenomenal venue that could host athletics championships at any level, including the GAT and the Summer Olympics.’

Once the home of the CSKA Quebec’s football division from year 1892 to 2054 (two years ago), the PDA has seen good use in the past year of its opening. In addition to the Shingoryeoite National Games, the PDA has hosted the Quebecois Intercollegiate Championships in April and the QAF national championships last May, which also served as the qualifying event for the previous summer’s Summer Olympics.

Scheduled second on the international calendar, Joongyeong is one of twelve top-tier meetings in eleven countries that travel across Anaia, Atlantian Oceania, Rushmore and other regions. Returning after a successful inaugural edition that ran across two years back in 2050-52 cycle, the tour is expected to see the continued interest in the international athletics world that for the most part, has concentrated its efforts on the Olympics.

While still early in the schedule, the two-year schedule continues to be filled with excitements as the Tour started out to success at the Meeting international d'Oréan in Orean, Liventia. Then, following the tour’s second meeting in Joongyeong, the GAT will head next to their Anaian neighbours Ko-oren for the Tobteki Solar Iwetabi in Sathonoru, Ko-oren, next weekend.

More news about the GAT, including the four-meeting second tier, will be announced over time.

THE BILLBOARD GAZETTE

FANCY FAST FEET

Hesky, Victoria win their respective 100 meter Joonyeong heats, Wonderworld also advances

In the packed confines of the Parc de l’Armistice in Joonyeong, Quebec and Shingoryeo, the Chartistan Athletics Team couldn't have asked for a more tense opening day to their season. With Grant Coles and Lindsey Williams planning to do their events the very next day, 3 out of the 5 Chartistani athletes sent to the Meeting de Joonyeong were to participate in heat qualifying. First, in the Men's 100 meters, was Wank Hesky, a guy perpetually in dad clothes and being as cheap as he can, running his first official meet in the second heat. Sargossa's Tito Vivar had just scorched the stretch with a sub-10 second time, which by heat standards was nothing short of amazing. To top that would be almost impossible, but Hesky knew better.

As the gun fired, he and the 8 other athletes took off. The 100 meter stretch between the start and finish lines lasted around 10 seconds to elite runners, but for Hesky it felt like an eternity. 5 other guys were on his heels at every passing moment, all of them begging to make the final round and be in contention for the podium. Wank Hesky was absolutely not used to this situation, but his legs forced him to keep going. As the finish line neared, TJUN-ia's Jason Jepkosgoi and Aboveland Siimon Salonen were somehow neck and neck with him for the heat win. How was he competing with the very best of them?

Never mind that, how the hell did he win that heat?

As 7 of the 8 athletes crossed the finish line within 16 one hundredths of a second, Wank Hesky was deemed the winner of the whole thing, edging out Jepkosgoi by one hundredths of a second and Salonen by two. He thought he needed a shake with one straw, but a heat win was a heat win - Maybe two straws would do today. Indeed, the lightning fast heat was enough to send 2 wildcards through (Most track heats of 2 send the top 3 per heat through to the Final automatically, with the top 2 remaining times also going through), and the Afanc Strait's Jathid Elanex and TJUN-ia's Fernando Alcoron were given well needed lifelines.

Lifelines were also conveniently thrown out in the Women's 100 meter event. Both Janice Victoria and Alice Wonderworld were slated to compete, with Alice drawn in Heat 1 and Janice being assigned to Heat 2. The interdimensional traveler didn't have any sort of trouble going through the 100 meter sprint, the only downside being that she wasn't fast enough to clinch an automatic berth. .04 seconds behind Sargossa's Giuliana del Pozo, she was in the first wild card berth for now, but any sort of faster, more competitive Heat 2 would send her home.

Janice Victoria, still having a virtual pet on her pocket for some reason, took off the little device as she made her way over to the starting blocks. Clearly wanting to Joonyeongot cha if you Joonyeongot them, Victoria took off in full flight, running away from the rest of her competition, at least by 100 meter standards, in which case it wasn't really a lot. Nevertheless, she would super smash the heat of 6, finishing .26 seconds ahead of 2nd place in her heat, yet another Sargossan, Talía Espinar. Her 10.69 time was the best in both heats as well, setting her tone heading into the Final.

There was one thing that Janice's Heat 2 brought other than a blistering pace - Giala Majon of the Jovannic, in third place, set a time of 11.24 seconds, a hundredth of a second ahead of Alana Sifcu of StrayaRoos. The wildcard system, therefore, sent not only Alice Wonderworld, but also Angora Startstar of Kriegiersien, through to the Final, with both athletes setting 10.96 and 11.06 times respectively. Thus, all 5 Chartistanis that were slated to compete in Joonyeong had made it into the Final.

To an outsider, it was 3 more than they expected before Hesky, Victoria and Wonderworld hit the track for the first time.

The cutthroat nature of the Global Athletics Tour hasn't been dawned on the Chartistan team, at least not yet. Barnum Zachary proved that this team could challenge for wins, but nobody seemed to notice - It was only one athlete - to care about. Now, with triple the amount of competitors, Chartistan put out a statement to the rest of the athletics world. Only problem was that the Finals are a completely different beast. In order to get the points, they say, you have to finish well where it counts. For the GAT, it's the Finals of the respective meets that dole out the points, points that may decide who goes to Nassau Bay or not.

Someone needed to flex the rainbow.

THE BILLBOARD GAZETTE

THERE'S GOLD IN MUSICVILLE'S HILLS

Lindsey Williams wins first women's 3000 meter Steeplechase event, first event win for Chartistan

A sort of disappointing second night in Joongyeong, IA Quebec, was completely overshadowed by the first ever running of the women's 3000 meter Steeplechase event in the history of the Global Athletics Tour. The 11 woman field, containing 2 Sargossans, 2 Liventians, a Britonisea runner, a Ko-orenite, an Abovelandian, a Cordian, a TJUN-ian, a woman from the hosting Quebecois and of course Chartistani Lindsey Williams, would be embarking on a perilous, almost 2 mile journey, with the event's signature barriers and water jumps common throughout the various Summer Olympic Games that have been held over the years. For the GAT, however, it was an entirely new sight.

The 7 grueling laps of running, with each athlete having to endure 28 whole jumps, took up a good chunk of time for all 11 runners, but it was clear that there was a strong path forming up, headed up by Sargossans Francisca Velasco and Alita Cabanilla as well as Chartistan's Williams. Lindsey had a strong start to the event, but dropped into 3rd place by the halfway stage, ailed by her water jump lengths helping the pair behind her pass her. However, the faster overall speed of Williams helped her catch up to the Sargossan duo, which, as well as Cabanilla and Velasco losing their own pace, helped the Chartistani regain the lead with 2 laps to go. Lindsey Williams will hold onto the lead even as she once again didn't get a big enough leap through the water jump to land in shallower water, to win the first women's Steeplechase event by 1 and a half seconds over Velasco.

Lindsey's win is the first ever event win for Chartistan at the Global Athletics Tour, as the other 4 athletes that day went up as high as third. Wank Hesky's 100 meter dash was marred by a decrease of speed of .02 seconds compared to his heat due to him using the exact same running technique, a complete no-go when it comes to actually competing for wins. Wonderworld and Victoria had it worse at their 100 meter sprints - Janice, who had the best time in the heats, slumped down to 7th place and a 11.16 time, with Alice posting a 10.94 time in 5th place. When asked about her run, Janice said that the lack of speed was mainly due to how she got off the starting blocks, having a delayed reaction time compared to everybody else.

The cream of the crop other than Williams, however, was pole vaulter and Chartistani hearthrob Grant Coles. Coles, who trained for this event with a rainbow colored pole (Hence the term "Flex the rainbow"), swapped that for a regular colored one for the men's pole vault event. The Chartistani started off well on the first 2 heights before starting to stumble with a 5.43 meter high bar, just barely making past the bar. Having more 3rd time scares on 5.58 and 5.68, he cleared 5.73 on his very first try before falling at 5.78, behind eventual winner Isak Haamer from Aboveland and 2nd place Felix Ruiz from, once again, Sargossa, but finishing in 3rd ahead of Matvejs Liepinš on a tiebreaker. Matvejs took 2 tries on 5.73 compared to Coles, who again did it on his first try.

The Global Athletics Tour now heads to the Tobteki Solar Iwetabi in Sathornoru, Ko-oren, where the remaining 2 Chartistanis will make their GAT debut - Niam Sorenson in the men's 100 meter sprint and former national football team player Lillian Kurate in the women's 200 meter sprint. Whether these 2 could live up to the expectations placed by their peers is anybody's guess. One thing is clear for Kurate, however - No matter how she does, she might try to vent on her ex in the middle of the meet.

THE BILLBOARD GAZETTE

THE ONLY ONE OUT

Niam Sorenson crashes out of the 100 meter dash while Kurate makes the 200 meter final

The second heat of the men's 100 meter sprint at the Tobteki Solar Iwetabi, the 3rd event on the GAT calendar held in Ko-oren, was the first taste of humble pie for one of Chartistan's 8 participants.

Niam Sorenson, who was perhaps the least experienced of the Chartistanis when it came to athletic events (He served whiskey before getting into football due to his popularity in the Musicville neighborhood of Billboard), didn't run the fastest of sprints across the Ko-orenite track. Barely edged out by Britonisea's Jordan Willis, he was .12 seconds behind the top 2 of Bizimungu and Dennis Robson and a hundreth of a second off 5th. Not that that mattered anyway - The 4th and 5th place runs in the first heat were faster than anybody but the top 3 in Heat 2, with Banija's Kakyomya Kyalema and Darmen's Albert Ray getting into the next day's main event.

Sorenson, who would have to sit in the stands and watch Lillian Kurate's women's 200 meter final after she made it in via wildcards, said that he was fine sitting on the bleachers in the Tobteki Stadium for once. "Everyone came out of meet 2 saying that Chartistan actually can have an elite track program. It's only Year 1, stuff like that was bound to happen eventually. Not saying that I'm proud of being the first one out per say, but someone had to do it.

Niam Sorenson's DNQ for the Final, while hurting his potential points haul, does put the remaining athletes into contention. With Kurate's wildcard finish, 7 Chartistanis headed into Day 2 with the chance for event wins. Grant Coles and Lindsey Williams only have the Final to worry about due to the small size of their events, but out of the remaining 6 athletes, 5 times out of 6 a Chartistani advanced from the Heats over to the Final. Every single time, the athletes were guaranteed at least 3 points due to the points structure. Sorenson, the odd one out, will have 0 points to his name, and won't have a shot at adding onto his points tally until Münzenbruck, the 6th meet on the schedule.

Lilian Kurate ended up feeling bad for her teammate once the microphones got onto her for an interview. "Look, I may be clowning around about my ex, but Sorenson isn't my ex," she said during a press conference. "I know these things happen, and you have to get prepared for the next one. We all know the GAT is an onslaught despite being only 2-4 meets per person. You always have to be at your best to compete for points."

Kurate got into the 200 meter final after scraping 4th place in Heat 1, .12 seconds behind Inga Bercina as she slowed down suddenly towards the finish line as she started to run out of breath. With a 22.60 time, the 2nd heat proved to be one that favored the Chartistani, with 4th place Marianna Rice-Richardson clocking in at a 22.63, leaving Iktamila Sorajangga of Pemecutan .01 seconds off. If Kurate slowed down even more, she wouldn't have made it.

When it came to what the team will do for the upcoming break during the Thunder Cup? Sorenson replied, "The whiskey's on me."

Solid But Not Spectacular

Blanco Borrayo reports;

Although Quebec and Shingoryeo co-hosted an actual Olympic Games only recently, the action in that nation did not feature athletics, nor did it feature the city of Joongyeong. Fortunately, the The Global Athletics Tour has been on hand to put that omission right, when action moved to Joongyeong’s Parc de l'Armistice. The first day of which included a first GAT look at two of the fastest Sargossans on the planet.

Talía Espinar is an unassuming character but her coaches and the top brass at the Sargossan Athletics Authority want her to stamp her authority on the competition, having taken a medal in the 100m in Prescott. It may not have been a showing to strike fear into the rest of the field but a third-place finish in Joongyeong was a decent start to her campaign. Although not as decent as Giuliana del Pozo. Who eclipsed her much vaunted teammate by taking a hugely impressive gold. On the men’s side Tito Vivar’s meet was a little more upside down. With a commanding performance in his heat followed by an underwhelming sixth place finish in the final. Happily, teammate Paco Limones added points to the tally with third place in the 400m Hurdles.

Fans at home, and those that had made the trip, were particularly excited at the prospect of watching not one, not three but two Olympic champions. Francisca Velasco broke the Games record in the Steeplechase and was consequently a big favourite in the same event in Joongyeong. If only someone had mentioned that to Chartistani Lindsey Williams. Williams tussled with Velasco and teammate Alita Cabanilla throughout before finding herself out in front with two laps to go. It was a lead she wouldn’t relinquish, crossing the line with the Sargossan dup left in second and third.

If Velasco’s second place finish was disappointing, Andino’s fourth place in the Triple Jump was agonising. The Olympic champion was among the podium places in the opening attempts but drifted away as the competition went on. His failed final effort summing up his mood entirely. But there was to be some joy in the field, with Felix Ruiz taking second place in the Pole Vault and Rufino Borquez doing the same in the Shot Put.

After which the roadshow hit the Tobteki Stadium in Sathtonoru. The Ko-oren crowd got to enjoy another big sprint win for an athlete in dark blue, as Malena Sainz topped to podium in the 100m Hurdles. It was the undisputed high point of an otherwise quiet meet. María Fernanda Dávalos made the only other headline on the track, with a third place finish in the 1000m. And there was a rare success for Sargossa’s women out in the field. Nieves Cabanilla’s best effort of 68.53 in the Discus good enough to take third.

All in all it’s been a solid, if not spectacular, start for the athletes in dark blue. Action now moves to Cordia, where the Thunder Cup will provide another international outing for the nation’s finest. Then the business will really pick up, with Soluca’s own Estadio Matías Almeida the venue for two days of the finest athletics action. In that meet of all meets the Greater Republic’s best will be wanting to put on a real show.
