Ariddia at the Second Summer Olympics

Ariddia's presence at the Second Summer Olympics was overseen by the Ariddian Olympic Committee (C.O.A). The delegation's official sports' code is ARI.

This Pacific Ocean country sent a much smaller delegation to this Olympiad than it had to the first Summer Games. The delegation contained a few famous "veteran" champions, and a great number of novice athletes who were given their first opportunity to compete on the international stage.

Among the experienced athletes were Youssef Kasmba (archery), gold medallist at both the Tyrellian Ylompic Games and the first Summer Olympics, and Christina Zhang (fencing), also a gold medallist at both the Tyrellian Ylompics and the first Summer Olympics. The "core" of the Ariddian delegation, however, were its twelve gymnasts and ten judokas, the latter with an impressive line-up:

• Admina Mwakingwe won silver in Tyrellia and gold in Ashford.
• Julie Lanza came fourth in Tyrellia and won silver in Ashford.
• At Suwil won gold in Tyrellia and silver in Ashford.
• Darren Foams came fourth in Tyrellia and won bronze in Ashford.
• Joseph Kabir was not present in Tyrellia, but won bronze in Ashford.
• Adam Jameson won gold in Tyrellia and gold again in Ashford.
• Olivier Aleksanyan won silver in Tyrellia, but had the great misfortune of facing his compatriot Adam Jameson in the first round in Ashford, a knock-out round, preventing him from making it any further in that competition. The C.O.A. was extremely displeased at the organisers for pitting two such athletes against each other in the first round, but the Committee's protest was to no avail.

The PDSRA's star gymnasts, who swept up twelve medals (of which four gold, and not counting aluminium) in Tyrellia and thirteen medals (of which six gold) in Ashford, were also present.

The rest of the delegation to Arcadia was made up of "novices" - athletes who had never competed at such a level before. The Ariddian Olympic Committee and the Ariddian authorities explained that they viewed this as an opportunity to encourage new talent, and to uphold the Olympic spirit - namely, the importance of taking part and doing one's best. These Ariddians competed in the fields of athletics and in team sports. They were considered to be among their country's best, but not quite up to top international standards yet.

Ariddia's flag-bearer for the Opening Ceremony was E Ol, captain of the national blind football team.
