Highlights

  • Day One:
    • Opening Ceremony
  • Day Two:
    • One medal event, the women's cycling road race. Spruitland media reported [3] that pre-race favourites Valerie Platt attacked early, leaving the other favourites behind, but they eventually caught up, with the attack "having taken a lot of energy from the main players". Thus, it came down to Elke Mancuso of Spruitland and Aika Pasada of Chicanada in the final sprint, and Mancuso went away in the final kilometre to win gold.
    • Swimming: Team-wise, Bedistan and Anastasiania impressed in the pool, with seven and five athletes qualifying for the final respectively in the four events that had semi-finals. The largest lead came from Abby Brickley of Milchama, who was over half a second ahead in the 100 m breaststroke semi-final [4].
    • Gymnastics: Andossa Se Mitrin Vega and Milchama failed to qualify for the women's team final, while Ariddia went out on top in the qualifying half a point ahead of the rest of the field. In the individual competition, Kari Elain won the all-around qualifying with four marks above 9.89, while five Ariddian athletes qualified for the final – the most from any nation. Athletes from Kelse won both the uneven bars and the balance beam events.
    • Sailing: Ryan Nortel and Jose Sonero of Kelse won a dash for the line to win the first race of the men's 470, but they only finished fourth in the second race, and Casari's Easley and Sisco lead [5]. In the women's 470, Jane Towse and Eve Seddon won both races by clear margins (42 and 10 seconds), and lead by six points. Aaron Bakboordt of Spruitland finished in the top three in both races of the Men's Finn and leads that event.
    • Team sports: First round of pool play. Rejistania, Spruitland and Milchama all score six goals in the men's football; medal aspirants [6] Casari eke out a 6–5 win over Allanea in baseball [7]; Anastasiania keep Schiavonia to seven goals in the men's handball, scoring 25 themselves; the water polo pool matches sees five teams scoring more than ten goals; and in the Atlantian Oceania battle, Schiavonia take a three-run win over Starblaydia in men's cricket.
  • Day Three
    • Cycling: Starblaydi Juan Svoboda proved that pedalling fast can defeat complex tactics as he won the 242km Men's Road Race by over three minutes.
  • Day Four
    • Volleyball: The Spruitlander Women's Beach Volleyball team delighted male viewers by playing topless.
  • Day Five
    • Controversy in men's 200m Breaststroke: Sven Ejeborg of Anastasiania and Ila Kansu of Rejistania finished within the same hundredth of a second with just some milliseconds between them. Since IRL rules declare that times must be measured only up the the hundredth of a seconds and anything more exact must be discarded, both swimmers were awarded gold while no silver was awarded
    • Randy Richter of Starblaydia was the first athlete to win 2 medals in the ylompics. He won bronze in 200m Butterfly on day 3 and silver in the 100m Butterfly on day 5
  • Day Six
    • Kansu Syku became the most successfull athlete by winning gold in Women's 100m Butterfly. She also won gold on day 4 in the 100m Backstroke.
  • Day Seven
    • Ariddian swimmer Alan Heath won two medals in one day, finishing second in the four hundred metres freestyle before going straight on to win the fifteen hundred metres.
    • Also in swimming, in the heats of the women’s 50m freestyle, Ariddian Mélanie Sandré finished 23rd, ahead of seven other competitors – an amazing feat, considering she has only one leg. Sandré took part in the Games to remind the world that athletes with disabilities exist, and that they can deliver impressive performances as well.
  • Day Eight
    • With Spruitland failing to take a medal today, Bedistan is the only remaining nation that has won at least one medal per day so far.
    • The Rejistanian athletes in the Men's Individual all-round in gymnastics did not give the opponents any chance: Iane~l I Kereselehini won gold, Ka~nsu H~senu silver, Kansu Jeri bronze and Hsene Seta~o reached the fourth place.
    • The tiny delegation from San Adriano finished its participation in the Games, with swimmer Sabrina Vannucci coming eighth in the final of the women’s 50m freestyle. San Adriano finished the Tyrellian Ylompics without a medal.
  • Day Nine
    • The Casari Olympic Committee announced that all athletes finishing fourth would be awarded an aluminium medal.
    • Ariddian gymnast Anaïs Reed won her third and fourth medals, taking the gold on the uneven bars and the bronze in the vault event. This gave her a total of two gold medals and two bronze.
