Difference between revisions of "Anastasiania at the Tyrellian Ylompics"

Revision as of 12:42, 13 March 2006

Anastasiania are sending a squad of 374 athletes to the Tyrellian Ylompic Games, despite the diminutive size of the nation. This is partly due to the high sport participation in the country and partly due to the desire to send "everyone with a chance of finishing in the top forty" as Olympic Committee Chairwoman Lisa Ormsby stated when she announced the squad. The flag bearer will be cycling star Minna Hartskog.

Delegation & results

Cycling

Women's Road Race: Minna Hartskog, Sarah Rapid, May Brown Men's Road Race: Kevin Harris, Ken Lunny Women's Time Trial: Minna Hartskog, May Brown Men's Time Trial: Kevin Harris, Ken Lunny Men's 1000m Time Trial: Maia Lehkosuo, Ricardo Olivares, Joan Moore Women's 500m Time Trial: Warren Rushton, Erik Åhlland Men's Keirin: Erik Åhlland Men's Madison: Morten Irgren/Seamus Pearce Men's Individual Pursuit: Noel Coe, Daniel Crutchley Women's Individual Pursuit: Alexandra Nuttall, Zoe Harris Men's Team Sprint: Rune Claesson/Erik Åhlland/Esa Niskanen Women's Points Race: Jean Levy Men's Points Race: Mark Kinsella, Philip Wainwright Men's Sprint: Erik Åhlland, Esa Niskanen Women's Sprint: Runa Trankvist Men's Team Pursuit: Noel Coe/Daniel Crutchley/Jani Ryti Women's Cross Country: Ella Järvensivu, Lina Gripenhall Men's Cross Country: James Caiger, Danny Lagord

Hartskog has been named as a favourite both in road race and time trial, while Lunny is in with a genuine chance in the time trial after finishing second in the final time trial of the Tour of Spruitland, behind Walter Kippel. Anastasianians are very keen on the cycling sport, and have seen a number of talents rise through the ranks in recent years.

Swimming

• Women 4x100m Medley: Heather McDonnell/Kay Evans/Therese Karlsson/Carole Neville
• Women 800m Freestyle: Philippa Jacobi

Anastasianian media believes that the best gold chances lie with Bolland in the women's 100m backstroke, Utterström in the women's 100m butterfly, Falk in the women's 200m butterfly and Shea in the men's 400m medley.

Gymnastics

• Men's Gymnastics Qualifying: Aleksis Vartio, Allen Huntly, Mattias Stjärnbeck
• Women's Gymnastics Qualifying: Susanna Silvererberg, Aimee Portsmouth, Tara Stockton, Johanna Hannula
• Men's Trampoline: Rolf Jacobsson, Robert Varish
• Women's Trampoline: Petria Sorely, Mary Pearce

A rather large gymnastics squad are, however, not believing in any chance of a medal.

Athletics

• Men's 100m: Craig Cleverley, Hermann Andren
• Women's 100m: Cathrin Relander
• Men's 200m: Craig Cleverley, Jon Harewood, Hermann Andren
• Women's 200m: Anna Råberg
• Men's 400m: Miikka Pasanen
• Men's 800m: Miikka Pasanen
• Men's 1500m: Jonas Svensson
• Women's 1500m: Terrie Duncum, Kate Crowhurst
• Women's 5000m: Sarah Tindall
• Women's 10000m: Sarah Tindall

• Men's 4x100m Relay: Craig Cleverley/Hermann Andren/Adam Råberg/Jon Harewood
• Men's Long Jump: Ainsley Livermore
• Women's Long Jump: Cathrin Relander
• Men's High Jump: Alexander Sarfve, Jim Oldman
• Women's Shot Put: Gwen Mainey
• Men's Decathlon: Ken Beckford, Benjamin Downing
• Women's Heptathlon: Hillary Saville

Alexander Sarfve won the Anastasianian championship by clearing 2.35 on the third attempt, and will be among the champion candidates in Tyrellia. So will Gwen Mainey, whose shot put personal best is a respectable 19.11 meters.

Rowing

• Men's Single Sculls: Sune Björmark
• Men's Double Sculls: Erkki Vanhanen/Pekka Tuomalainen
• Women's Double Sculls: Wendy Milner/Rachel Adams
• Men's Quadruple Sculls: Sune Björmark/Erkki Vanhanen/Pekka Tuomalainen/Ian Richmond

Vanhanen and Tuomalainen are probably in with the best chance of a medal, but rowing is a low-profile sport in Anastasiania.

Sailing

• Men's Mistral: Pontus Karlsson
• Laser: Kevin Swales
• Men's 470: Simon Alvbåge
• Women's 470: Jane Towse/Eve Seddon
• Yngling: Lina Olsson/Ann-Cathrin Forsblom/Carolina Gouran

Alvbåge have somehow managed to be cited as a medal favourite before the Games, mainly owing to his row of five Anastasianian championships, the only sailor to have managed this.

Shooting

• Men's 10m Air Rifle: Peter Nolan, Lee Wheat
• Women's 20m Pistol: Chandra Hollis
• Men's Skeet: Brian Butcher
• Women's Skeet: Louisa Unsworth

Hardly any favourites among the five who turn up in shooting events, as gun shooting is a rather novel events to the Streetian part of the population and many among the Svenska and Suomen communities are opposed to guns due to history.

Archery

• Men's Team: Brian Whittingham/Rickard Eriksson/Jesper Daniels
• Women's Team: Myra Eckstein/Moa Hagman/Amy Bone
• Men's: Brian Whittingham, Rickard Eriksson, Jesper Daniels
• Women's: Myra Eckstein, Moa Hagman, Amy Bone

Six archers are sent to Tyrellia, but neither of them are expected to challenge for medals.

Triathlon

• Men's: Jacob Prutton, Billy Hyron, Marcus Ring
• Women's: Matilda Nilsson

Matilda Nilsson has won her last eight triathlon races, including a win in a race held in Sike kali, Rejistania.

Fencing

• Women's Epee Individual: Gwen Taylor, Lucy Yorke, Dorothy Blewitt
• Women's Epee Team: Angela Brook, Gwen Taylor, Dorothy Blewitt, Diane Nahal, Jane Pettersson, Lucy Yorke, Rhianna Taylor, Marlene Smedman, Emily Nicholl
• Men's Foil Individual: Brian Hockenhull, James Pilgrim
• Women's Foil Individual: Angra Churms, Rachel van der Merwe

The Anastasianian Olympic Committee refused to comment when they were asked where they found nine women who could wield an epee - or, indeed, what an epee was.

Pentathlon

• Men's: Ivan Rowlands, Matthew Bannister
• Women's: Kari Eldershaw

Canoeing/Kayaking

• Women's Single Slalom Kayak: Sandra Fennbäck, Tindra Lundström
• Men's FC-1 1000m: David Lidholm
• Women's FC-1 1000m: Nathalie Lidholm
• Men's FC-2 1000m: Matt Elliot, David Lidholm
• Men's FK-1 500m: Walter Hatch
• Women's FK-1 500m: Tiina Lehtinen
• Men's FK-1 1000m: Casper Pettersson
• Women's FK-2 500m: Tiina Lehtinen/Ida Jönsson
• Men's FK-4 1000m: George Stevens/Daniel Sjöberg/Dexter Wotton/Walter Hatch

The K-4 with Stevens, Sjöberg, Wotton and Hatch has put out some very good times in recent training sessions, but they are the only favourites and it will be the only race for these guys - bar Hatch, who is also turning out in the K-1 500 metres and is slated to be the sprinter of the side. He has been known to tire in the late stages of races.

Diving

• Men's 3m Springboard: Karl Hemsley, Lars Malmqvist, Göte Leidholt
• Women's 3m Springboard: Tuulikki Ahtisaari
• Women's 10m Platform: Imogen McCabrey
• Men's 3m Sync. Springboard: Karl Hemsley/Keith Standing
• Women's Sync. 10m Platform: Emilie Jernstig/Imogen McCabrey

Nine divers will represent Anastasiania, with Tuulikki Ahtisaari the best on paper; however, her best international placing is a seventh place at a meet in Starblaydia.

Weightlifting

• Men's Lightweight: Jyrki Leppistö, Tony Innes
• Men's Middleweight: Ryan Hunt
• Women's Heavyweight: Eva Zachrisson

Wrestling

• Men's GR Heavyweight: Steve Marriner
• Women's FR Middleweight: Abigail Jervis, Danielle Foley
• Men's FR Heavyweight: Carl Bradford

Taekwondo

• Women's Lightweight: Cecilia Westerberg
• Women's Middleweight: Hanna Rincon
• Men's Heavyweight: Leif Otterborg

Rincon is the only one of the combat athletes to have any serious chance of a medal; the four-time Anastasianian champion was also champion of FIFA last year, but has struggled with injuries before the tournament.

Judo

• Women's Middleweight: Carita Lilliewall, Faye Arben
• Women's Heavyweight: Nora Nyman
• Men's Lightweight: Per-Olof Greisz
• Men's Middleweight: Peter Svahn

Syncronized Swimming

• Women's Duet Sync. Swimming: Sue Symon/Dora Stanford

Equestrian

• Individual Jumping: Johanna Rosenqvist, horse: Vikegård

A symbolic participation of one athlete and her horse; however, Rosenqvist has made a name for herself in the world of equestrianism.

Badminton

• Men's Singles: Dominic Wilde, Adam Lindbäck
• Women's Singles: Annett Linder, Helen Vanzan, Gina Dean
• Men's Doubles: Dominic Wilde/Adam Lindbäck
• Women's Doubles: Annett Linder/Gina Dean, Helen Vanzan/Cecilia Grahame
• Mixed Doubles: Dominic Wilde/Helen Vanzan

Dominic Wilde will have a busy two weeks, with participation in three events. However, it is likely he will be eliminated early in the men's singles, and can thus concentrate on the doubles events.

Tennis

• Men's Singles: Gavin Crouch, Maurice McDonald, Warren Mayers
• Women's Singles: Liina Malvalehto, Johanna Månsson, Emilie Sundgren
• Men's Doubles: Gavin Crouch/Phil Fletcher
• Women's Doubles: Liina Malvalehto/Emilie Sundgren

Liina Malvalehto is probably the most promising tennis talent Anastasiania will ever see; the 20-year-old has an almost complete array of shots and is a medal candidate both in singles and doubles (with Sundgren, who often puts out her best performances in doubles games).

Table Tennis

• Men's Singles: Geoff Mirfin, Jeff Frecklington, Olle Thorstensson
• Women's Singles: Sara Schelin, Victoria Naysmith
• Men's Doubles: Geoff Mirfin/Jeff Frecklington, Olle Thorstensson/Fran Staff
• Women's Doubles: Sara Schelin/Victoria Naysmith

Mirfin is another title challenger; the 28-year-old has won three Anastasianian titles and two FIFA titles, but the question is whether he has the stamina to win all games at the gruelling Ylompic schedule.

Baseball

Pitchers (15):

• 2 Scott Rumbold
• 5 David Murgatroyd
• 9 Mats Oskarsson
• 12 Ben Eastwood
• 15 Ottar Aske
• 17 Andy Mellish
• 23 Brett Johnston
• 28 Harvey Gurnell
• 30 Herman Stockton
• 32 Burt Hunter
• 33 Petteri Hirvilahti
• 48 Joe Clarke
• 56 Martin Prescott
• 61 Esko Verhelä
• 67 Tino Nilsson

Catchers (3):

• 16 Clyde Jeffrey
• 41 Allan Bell
• 62 Craig Herscott

Infielders (10):

• 3 Gustav Hansson
• 4 Magnus Lannersjö
• 6 Matthew Howe
• 8 Konsta Komulainen
• 14 Thomas Thydahl
• 21 Jarkko Jokinen
• 26 Robbie Luttrell
• 27 Daniel Pike
• 31 Jason Cruickshank
• 46 Stefan Birgersson

Outfielders (8):

• 7 Esa Salparanta
• 10 Johan Forsander
• 11 Chris Gale
• 20 Juuso Salparanta
• 22 Craig Nicholas
• 38 Scott Harvey
• 42 Jonathan Tressider
• 54 Steven Day

Baseball is a new sport in the Street, imported mostly from forays into Atlantian Oceanian nations such as Casari and Bedistan. The Anastasianian side is not expected to do well, but Murgatroyd throws a mean curveball and Jokinen is a hard hitter in the local pesäpallo league, where he plays for Väänäkoski.

Basketball

Women's

Guards:

• 3 Lina Gottander
• 19 Tora Rahmbrant

Forwards:

• 12 Outi Ihalainen
• 16 Susan Molloy
• 37 Britta Läfvensten
• 43 Carol Moore
• 50 Jayne Alston

Centers:

• 22 Andrea Strandin
• 40 Tuulikki Ilola
• 55 Minna Hannila

Basketball is just as new as baseball, but again, there are some talents. 19-year-old Minna Hannila is probably the best, and there are rumours she will play in Sarzonian leagues next season. However, the players are all amateurs, and they are not expected to do well.

Football

Men's

Keepers (3):

• 1 Michael Leahy, 22, FC Allenby
• 16 Jason Kimes, 20, Gardwick Albion
• 25 Darren Lacey, 18, Nudsby Wanderers

Defenders (9):

• 2 Kari Hokkanen, 19, Heino, left back/central defender
• 3 Kalervo Kottila, 21, Ärvo, right back/winger
• 4 Oliver Dyren, 20, FC Köksberg, central defender, captain
• 5 Sam Brookfield, 18, Wickham, central defender
• 13 Kevin Wells, 22, Ordwich, left back
• 17 Mark Hudson, 19, Hittlesham AFC, right back
• 18 Kuisma Olasmaa, 20, Riihikoski, right back
• 22 Neil Davis, 18, Bambury United, central defender
• 24 Jonny Larsson, 21, Björntorp, central defender

Midfielders (8):

• 6 Maurice Mowat, 21, FC Köksberg, central midfielder
• 8 Turkka Kivelä, 19, Liitojärvi, central midfielder/right winger
• 9 Bengt Henriksson, 28, Sveaborg, right winger
• 11 Michael Breen, 21, Bambury United, left winger
• 15 Paul Briggs, 22, Gardwick Albion, attacking midfielder
• 19 Jay Donoghue, 19, Tamton, central midfielder/left winger
• 21 Esko Oksanen, 20, Väänäkoski, left winger
• 22 Glenn Olsson, 21, SK Älgborg, central midfielder

• 14 Jens Strandin, 20, FK Jönsbro, striker
• 20 Aarto Eskelinen, 22, Määtelinna, striker
• 23 Thomas Faga, 22, Chadwick FC, striker

The Under-23 team from Anastasiania contains many future stars, with Aarto Eskelinen and Oliver Dyren having captaincy experience from their domestic sides. However, football in Anastasiania is underdeveloped compared to many other countries, and it will take time to come to the top.

Women's

Keepers (3):

• 1 Marjo Harju, 27, Määtelinna
• 13 Elaine Marsh, 30, Teybridge Athletic
• 20 Kayla Hayward, 22, Tamton

• 14 Clara Moss, 24, Chadwick FC, right back/central defender
• 16 Rebecca Portsmouth, 27, Ufford United, central defender
• 18 Tiffany Monk, 33, Wootton, full back, captain
• 21 Sofia Viilo, 23, Vaaranta, central defender/left back
• 24 Julia Blombom, 25, FK Jönsbro, left back

Midfielders (8):

• 3 Liz Leach, 27, Riversbrook FC, defensive midfielder
• 6 Alanna Gardner, 32, Hittlesham AFC, central midfielder

• 8 Andrea Rönnholt, 24, Uppfors, right winger
• 11 Katri Anttila, 20, Väänäkoski, left winger
• 17 Emmi Taivalsalo, 22, Ellissi, winger
• 22 Mia Randall, 30, Igglesham, central midfielder/right winger
• 25 Suzie Williams, 26, Ruscal FC, central midfielder

• 9 Jayne Draper, 23, Ribbersback City, forward
• 10 Sandra Webster, 26, Ufford United, striker
• 12 Marie Bengtsson, 25, Andval, striker
• 15 Siri Nordblad, 30, Rammskog FK, forward
• 19 Hannah Keeney, 29, Obchurch United, striker
• 23 Ilta Tuulari, 27, Tuunu, forward
• 26 Helga Paulsson, 22, Vingbäcken, striker

Tiffany Monk captains the side, who are expected to do better than the men in their first outing in international football; Monk has also captained Wootton to three domestic titles. Other stars include Marie Bengtsson, who scored nine goals for Andval in the recent All-Nation League season, and Andrea Rönnholt of Uppfors.

Handball

Handball is somewhat of a national obsession in Anastasiania, and the teams are expected to fight it out with Rejistania and Kelse for the medals.

Men's Team

Mynttinen and Hanskki have been national heroes ever since Anastasiania eked out a 27–25 win over Rejistania in the last FIFA cup final, when Mynttinen made a brilliant pass to Hanskki who scored the deciding goal with but seconds to spare. Still, Rejistania have plenty of FIFA handball titles stored in their cupboard, and it will be a formidable challenge.

Goalkeepers (3):

• 1 Hans Persson, 28, Köksberg
• 12 Mattias Ångkvist, 22, Oxberga
• 16 Einar Ångbratt, 24, Petersfors

Outfielders (13):

• 2 Kari Mynttinen, 34, Ryykkökoski, left back
• 3 Marko Ikäheimonen, 28, Siirivaara, left winger
• 4 Sven Björking, 27, Jönsbro, playmaker
• 5 Joel Wahlbom, 24, Oxberga, line player
• 6 Åke Wahlkvist, 30, Hasstorn, right back
• 7 Per Cronlind, 22, Linddalen, right winger
• 8 Kari Pulkkinen, 26, Vaaranta, line player
• 9 Stefan Sörensson, 27, Ringvallen, playmaker
• 10 Pekka Lehkosuo, 28, Suukkonlinna, left back
• 11 Aukusti Hanskki, 33, Nelmanen Pallo, left winger
• 13 Anders Fogelbratt, 32, Vingbäcken, left back
• 14 Roger Hellmar, 23, Storkalk, right back
• 15 Mats Matsson, 18, Fuglängen, right winger

Women's Team

The women's team are yet to beat Rejistania in international matches, though Ingrid Kvarnland has said that she will not retire until she's beaten the Rejistanians. Meanwhile, the team also includes some young Suomen talent in Koskela, Koivu and Anttalainen, but overall the women are ranked with slightly lower gold chances than the men. Nevertheless, most will be disappointed if the women don't reach the final.

Goalkeepers (3):

• 1 Sara Sunding, 22, Olsö
• 12 Anna Helena Birgersson, 26, Uddingsvall
• 16 Jenni Nissilä, 32, Kauppi

Outfielders (13):

• 2 Therese Persson, 28, Linddalen, left back
• 3 Minna Koskela, 19, Launavaara, right back
• 4 Selma Koivu, 22, Väänäkoski, right winger
• 5 Andrine Ståhler, 26, Krakshamn, playmaker
• 6 Ronja Klinthult, 29, Spårvik, line player
• 7 Veena Marjakangas, 33, Typpy, left winger
• 8 Tuija Klinga, 28, Rännmilli, right back
• 9 Minna Jaakkola, 31, Uutivuora, left winger
• 10 Ulla Håkansson, 28, Älgborg, line player
• 11 Annemari Viilo, 30, Lukkovuora, playmaker
• 13 Ingrid Kvarnland, 36, Farneborg, left back
• 14 Jeanette Killwald, 32, Järvtuna, right winger
• 15 Jenna Anttalainen, 18, Ellissi, right back

Volleyball

Men's Team

• 1 Scott Muller (libero)
• 3 Antero Hurme
• 4 Torbjörn Kjelldahl
• 5 Tapio Aapro
• 6 Darren Milton
• 7 Bruce Dara
• 8 Dean Lennon
• 9 Måns Kihlstrand
• 10 Matti Pesonen
• 11 Olle Andersson
• 12 Manu Seppälä
• 13 Alex Chambers

A mediocre team in world terms, with Bruce Dara and Dean Lennon as the stars.

Women's Team

• 1 Maria Karlsson (libero)
• 3 Diana Longhurst
• 4 Charlotte Armstrong
• 5 Mary Rosen
• 6 Ada Edwards
• 7 Bea Åhngård
• 8 Lotta Hartskog
• 9 Moa Norrbo
• 10 Michelle Hatchard
• 11 Tara Dawson
• 12 Lori Wallis
• 13 Ingrid Åkesson

The women's team recently celebrated a famous five-set win over Starblaydia, but still lack in consistency, and behind the first line-up the talent is lacking.

Women's Beach Volleyball

Jeanie Paterson and Beatrice Langman won a model competition, and got sent to the Ylompics as a bonus. However, the TV coverage is set to have men across Anastasiania drool.

Demonstration Events

Cricket

Men's

A fourteen-man team with the best players from the Streetian leagues has been selected; talent varies wildly, however, with Fleetwood-Smythe securing 48 wickets at an average of 14.41 last season, while Jimmy Loye (739 runs @ 28.19 and 8 wickets @ 37.28) seems to have been selected on the grounds that "he's a part time bowler who doesn't throw".

• Adam Schofield, Crantonshire, opening batsman
• Robin Warwick, Tamtonshire, opening batsman/part time off spin
• Martin Wilshire, Baytshire, specialist batsman
• Liam Dodson, Gardshire, specialist batsman
• Rob Feeney, Crantonshire, specialist batsman/part time medium pace
• Sean Scholar, Tey, wicket-keeper
• Jimmy Loye, Rontonshire, specialist batsman/part time off spin
• Olly Gibb, Rontonshire, new ball fast bowler/capable batsman
• Harold Smith, Achumshire, new ball fast bowler
• Ben Wickersham, Baytshire, leg spinner
• Roderick Fleetwood-Smythe, Tey, fast bowler

---

• Sam Watson, Crantonshire, specialist batsman
• Brad Meehan, Urwichshire, wicket-keeper
• Nigel Cunningham, Derwickshire, left arm orthodox bowler

Women's

The women's team has also got some well known stars, with all-rounder Ina Sutcliffe the greatest; however, Amy Woolthorp and Elizabeth Green have been criticised for lack of pace to be considered on the international stage. However, with only four nations having selected sides thus far, this may be one of the easier medals to come by at the Ylompics.

• Charlotte Peters, Tey, opening batter
• Julianne Hurst, Tey, specialist batter
• Betty Thompson, Crantonshire, specialist batter/part time medium pace
• Rachel Hawkes, Gardshire, specialist batter/part time left arm orthodox
• Charlotte Towns, Baytshire, wicket-keeper
• Ina Sutcliffe, Gardshire, new ball fast bowler
• Marcia Bullock, Achumshire, part time off spin bowler
• Amy Woolthorp, Baytshire, medium pace bowler
• Elizabeth Green, Tey, medium pace bowler
• Jane Anderson, Rontonshire, leg spinner
• Lisa Green, Crantonshire, medium pace bowler

---

• Joan Champion, Stredshire, wicket-keeper
• Cathy Parker, Gardshire, all-rounder, off spin bowler
• Christine Fredericks, Crantonshire, medium pace bowler
