[Ananke II]

It’s a fine day at De Gent Stadium with Nations getting ready for their first game, The Swordsmanship.

*Weather reporters stated it’s expected to remain sunny with cool breeze up till high noon.

If your hearing birds singing...... guess again … it’s the sound of chainmail & breastplates carried by squires and servants rushing to help their lords, ladies and barbarians with their armor garments. Locking and buckling loosen chains.

*Now looking over to the Judges table, Anastasia Beaverhausen & Kalin Arn seems to still be fighting over who will Blow the opening horn . Its been going on for over 20 minutes....*

& it seems we have first round Match making done:



*From over looking the chart, it seems Devil Heart will compete twice, we are not sure why, maybe more will cleared after the first round.......*


* First Round ended with interesting results....*



* As promised we now return to discuss the weird double match we spoke of earlier:*

*It seems Devil Heart Swords (Canada) Competitor, Whip Devine was asked to compete twice due to her Weight issues. Judges only stated that with that size of a bone structure there was a debate whether they should allowed her to compete at all – wondering if one swing of her Sword will slash her competitors skulls.

* Suffices to say that it didn’t help her much. Both matches: First was against Jantis Bond from Mutanatia, 10k Islands. Divine coach stated she was expecting to take down all the male players by her Sensual Seductive Aura but then she met Jantis Bond, a petitlish light figured female who wasn’t really into seduction & Whip Divine lost.

Then came the second match against Lt Hikaru Sulu from Trecdom, Texas, a fine fencer and a swordsman who left Whip Divine in a confusing state when he hit her 10 times in less than 2 minuets. The Judges were simply mesmerized by his quick feminine moves...

[Ananke II]

* In the Second round its worth mentioning the combat between: Toshio Demanzana of Almonaster Nuevo (Canada) and Arano Jira of Vrolondia (Yggdrasil)....*

* Both competitors ,rather big in size, were hovering over each other like wasps in an honey contest.....*

*Toshio Damanzana was first to hit Arano Jira gaining 4 Ace points but was knocked down a second later in a Cardio Swing to the chest by Arano Jira which followed by Arano Jira Back Flip swing, leaving Toshio Damanzana in a an Open Shield Defense stance...............
That didn't last long as Toshio Damanzana gained strength immediately resolving to a knee crash movement while swinging the sword against Arano Jira shoulder hitting him for 3 points and winning the battle...*

[Ananke II]

* After a quick hour of resting the competitors returned to a 3rd round of battles *



*Although there was no real hustle and fusel in Round 3. There is one particular fight worth mentioning: The Extravaganza battle of Arabella Penumbra of Solskin, Yggdrasil and Troy Barnes of Benevolent Thomas, 10k.....*

* One must say they took the Extravaganza to their heart: Mrs Penumbra blade was colored shimmering bronze, with lamps and butterfly’s engraved on it, While she wore light silver colored plate with the sloskin national flag engraved on its front and back. *

* On The other side of the Arena, her rival wore Golden with Purple Strips Heavy Plate armor while holding an oddly-formed blade of a bronze color, with stars engraved on it & its griped embedded with tourmaline.....*


* The Match started with Arabella running forward Troy with speed of light knocking him down and hitting his chest with the point of her sword, gaining 4 points. Troy rolled quickly to the
side (although with such an armor it looked like a rather long slow motion picture) and was quick to block a second swing of her sword with his shield…. pushing her away from him.

* The quickness of her moves and the light armor enabled her to gain 2 more points while grabbing his shield with hers, pulling him to her while hitting him twice on the head and shoulder…then releasing his shield....*

* Troy on his part knocked her several times with the grip of his blade gaining 3 points........
If it wasn’t for his armor he would have probably won this fight but it seems the shinny heavy Extravaganza was his downfall.....*

* With 8:8 points each , Arabella was able to circle troy twice in a quick Yemen move, nudging him with her body and hitting slipping her sword near his neck after he fell down , gaining the 2 extra points for the win....*

[Ananke II]

* Unlike the first 3 rounds, the winners in the 4th round were picked for gold silver and bronze based on the time it took them to take down their opponent!!! *



* Notable is the fight between Jantis Bond of Mutantia (10K Islands) who seemed to be on the defense for most of the fight with Lt Hikaru Sulu of Star Trek (Texas)....*

* Till round 4, Jantis was able to gain a rather quick win for under 1 min but with Lt. Hikaru, she seemed to have lost her inner quick balance at the start of the fight....*



* With 2 kneel blocks with sword and only 2x 1 hit on her rival armor……it didn't seem like she was going to survive it for much longer…....*

* Lt. Hikaru like his mate at the 1st round, was also quick on his toes Slashing and Clashing his sword against her breastplate armor.... *

* But then the Unexpected happened & Jantis bond - to the Judges astonishment - did the famous bend like a leaf Slip attack.......Undermining Hikaru.........
flipping a leg and knocking him down for 4 points & Winning the battle & taking The First Gold Medal !!!!!!! *

* The fans at Observers Seats are in Upheaval over Jantis Bond, A Petitlish figured Woman taking the gold Medal for what was once a Male Category only *




All in All 2 regions claimed victory Today in Swordsmanship with 10k Islands taking both Gold ( Jantis Bond - Mutantia) and Silver (Duncan Idaho - Woonsocket) Medals, & Texas taking Bronze (Vaculatestar) Medal.

[Ardreas]

Ardreas is excited for 2 victories taken by the Islands. Though disappointed we weren't among them, at least we lost to the Silver Medalist. Congratulations to Mutantia and Woonsocket!

*Excited Cornua blasts echo through the stadium as the Ardrean delegation cheers for their fellow Islanders*

[Ananke II]

Well done Woonsocket and Mutanatia. Having nations from 10ki win both gold and silver in the first discipline is pretty impressive.

[Randomain]

Nicely done Mut and Woon!

And here's a quote from Randomains participant, Guy Threepwood, regarding his sword training after the second match:

"I can’t help but feel I’ve been ripped off. [Towards the reporters camera.] I’m sure you're feeling something similar."
– Guy Threepwood

[Barry]

Yay, Mut and Woon! A Gold & Silver for XKI right out of the gate, er, (sword) sheath. Well done.

Unfortunately, our swordsman, Mai "Rapier" Witt, lost with a disgraceful performance in the 1st Round. He is now rumored as being used for target practice by our lovely - but still drunk *glares at Gunny* - archer, Betty "Bullseye" Bowfinger. May her aim be truer than her ability to hold strong drink.

[Ananke II]

Betty seems to have been pretty drunk for quite a while now, Barry. Are you sure she's not doing it on purpose to avoid competing?

[Barry]

Possibly. Although her condition does seem to have improved her aim.

[Ananke II]

*It’s a glories day today with perfect 25c, sunny with a bit of feather clouds... but nothing to worry about as the Cult of Chamomile promised us that
they will burn enough frogs tongues & spider hair to make sure the day will remain with good weather....*



While enjoying the Outdoor Open Bersa Archery Arena...its hard not to hear the yet Another excitement, coming from the judges row.....*

* It seems Nurse NightInJail “over hammered” herself yesterday with Golden Syrup Mead and “decided” to dress in "Mistress of the Dungeon outfit"......
....Now she’s arguing with Anastasia Beaverhausen over who will blow the horn..... as Kalin is still in shock from the Knockout punch Anastasia handed her yesterday at the Midgets Unite Gala....*

* According to Judge Mariko Santarosa, out of the 50 archers, 18 women will be competing today.....*



* Unlike the Swordsmanship tournament where everyone had to dress a well protective armor, Mariko Santarosa continue : "today the archers will be competing in every day Medieval Clothing…" *

[Ananke II]

The Archery Target competition




* Well the first two rounds went without any casualties. well not quite!!! We did have some incidents…


** Jaakor, of the Yaator Clan from The Grendels showed great skills in the first round which with 7 bullzeye hits was able to move to the second round but then something snapped..... It seems when Judge LeeLoo asked her fellow Judge Kalin Arn if she thinks “that’s a dog or a wolf” referring of course to Jakkor and unaware her Microphone was On… which made Jakkor point the arrow at the Judges table and hitting LeeLoo favorite PatchBag. Of course it ended with him being disqualified!!! **

* Then came the case of Maria Olazawa from The Zombie hunters of Almonaster Nuevo who decided to use some arrows she bought yesterday at the crafting fair.... & ended up piercing the golden breastplate armor of Baroness Luertha De Gent who’s family donated the Olympic Park….. *

** Another failure came upon New Texas when their archer "L'il Tex XVII” took 6 out of 7 targets which ended in him being disqualified. That has sparked some hot chilli moos that ended up with L'il Tex XVII jumping on an horsey and riding str8 into Judges row..... using a rope to round up Judge Kalin arn who lashed back in return, pulling the rope and throwing L'il Tex XVII out of his balance and into the ground....**

* !!! All in All with 22 moving to the second round and only 10 qualified to the 3rd round, we can't wait for the last round which will start in 10 minutes !!! *

[Ananke II]

Upheaval of Rounds

*It seems with the 3rd round coming to an end... the judges didn’t expect to see A Triple tie.
3rd round required all competitors to hit 7 targets in different shapes and sizes & all in 200 meters distance. *



* From looking at the chart, the highest number of targets being hit was 5. Three Archers done exactly that. While Winning was assured for these Archers, the question still remained who is the best....?!!?!? *

* After 10min of discussions between the judges it was agree that the 3 remaining will be ask to compete one more time by hit 5 rows of targets of different shapes and sizes in A: 210m, 220m, 230m, 240m, 260m distances *



10 minutes later It was interesting to note that:

* Betty “Bullseye” Bowfinger of Barrarabia who showed till then great potential and was able to do 1st, 2nd & 3rd round completely blind fold, when doing the 4th round she failed miserably & left her with Bronze Medal!!! *

* Anysu Anir of Vrolondia was able to target all rows securing A Gold Medal but when the judges were looking closely they realized she missed the targets at 240m, which granted her only Silver Medal !!! *

* Vaculatestar Archer on the other hand was able to pierce down all targets starting with 260m and going down. Gaining him 5 row hits and A Gold Medal !!! *

*** This Conclude our Target Archery Championship with 3 regions taking medals: Vaculatestar from Texas with Gold Medal. Vrolondia from Yggdrasil with Silver Medal and Barrarabia from 10k Islands with Bronze Medal ***

[Ardreas]

Well, now the Islands have one of every color. Yay for full rainbow victory. Heh

Needless to say, we butlers are popping our shirt studs over Bullseye Betty's performance.
The blind fold was of great assistance to her in keeping the blazing sun out of her eyes while battling an excruciating hangover headache.
We may request a formal inquiry as to why the Judges made her remove it for the final round.

[Mondragonia]

Well done to the 5 medallists! An excellent result after only 2 disciplines.
Robin of Loxley gave this interview after the event:
"Well, it's a game of 2 halves. The reason I didn't do as well as expected is I had to replace my glasses just before I left the Islands, & I'm not used to shooting in them yet. I will do better in the distance event, as I don't need to be accurate as regards a target, I just have to concentrate on getting the right angle of release, which doesn't need glasses!"

Hmm, the 16th of March... feels like something is going on that day.

Oh yeah, it's my cat's birthday! He turns 17. I guess I'll have to practice throwing him, see if that helps with the goats.

[Aersoldorf]

My team of cooks is eagerly awaiting the goat throwing competition, not so much to watch their teammate as to gather ingredients for their own event

[Mondragonia]

Mondragonia are pleased to announce our Goat Throwing & Wrestling team have brought 2 examples of our Great Knockneehairye breed, and will they be giving exhibition bouts with our athletes, or against suitably skilled athletes & spectators.

This is Grand International Champion Peregrine Skyldhelve Old-Hobbe, the last Mondragonian to win the title,
seen with some of his assistants & companions at his last Victory Picnic.

He is retired from full-time wrestling & now, as Chief Instructor, coaches, mentors & spars with the younger Caprid & Human athletes, as part of the effort to put Mondragonian Goat Throwing back at the top of the Premier League bring renown & medals to our Glorious Islands!



Grand All-Mondragon Tower and Ground Champion, William 'Billy' Greatbig Trollhammer-Gruff, whose current title he won with an unbeaten yearlong series of bouts, culminating in his clearing the Tower of Humans without conceding a single fall at the All-Mondragon Finals last fortnight!



Some of our athletes practising:






Of course, we have brought liniment & fuel to share with the Athletes Village



We wish you all the very best of luck in the next rounds.

Goat Throwing Championship


* The Competition most nations have talked about in the past 2 months has arrived *

* The Goat Throwing Championship, a well known Up hill tradition in Canada region which was introduced into The Medieval Olympic by Canadian Committee Representative Almonaster Nuevo *

Today Athletes will compete in 4 rounds, equal 4 goat weights :

22kg - The Feng Goat, 25kg – The Low Hill Minque Goat, 30kg – The Bella Nox Goat, 40kg- The Nuevo Full Coated Goat.

* An Herald from the Judges Row has informed us that The Field track has been sprayed with Slimy 7 layers of foam donated by an army of unknown origin to lighten the goat fall *

* Throws will be judged based on Distance and Techniques........ *

*We were told the judges will take under consideration Nuevo Techniques along with Hard to do Traditional ones such as the: shot-put style throw, a javelin throw, the hammer throw style technique, Grizzly bear technique *



It's interesting to note that some athletes have travelled all the way from their home region Bringing “other family” to see them compete.

[Ananke II]

The Results for the Goat Championship have finally arrived with some surprising scores



This Photo was captured by "Borderland Sports Network Channel" during the second round



* Like in The previous games, we had several interesting events *

* Diane Semsson (Wysteria in Texas General Consul Sister) who's in the middle of her 3rd round started sweating and crunching just to realize she was in Labor!!!, 10minutes later & with the help of Nurse NightInjail she gave birth to a Triplet.....*

* Martha Salm of New Ecopia showed great skills with the Curve throw but then it seems...around the 3rd round she started to neglect the Curling technique barely scraping the bottom floor of the 3rd round required. Her realization of the matter made her reshape her throw back to normal but it was too late and landed her just the bronze medal.....*

* Another Great Performance was from Kuuro, The Grendels Goat Thrower. His Body Strength & "Horn, Slap & Flip" Technique landed him Several awards including "over the ditch & into the fall" remark after his goat found herself in a...well weird situation....



* While Speaking with Several of the athletes that didnt manage to go pass the 1st round, we were amazed to find out that they thought it would be a Piece of Cake and therefor didn't bother to practice much....shame...indeed a shame!!! *


* As one can see The 4th Round left Us with A Triplet Tie between the throwers of Qanzona, Devil Heart & New Ecopia....*

* Judges LeeLoo and Kalin Arn asked to make another throw for the tie rivals but it was , it failed to pass majority Judges vote :NightinJail, Beaverhausen and Santarosa were against....*

Well with Final Ruling - We have 5 medalists:

* Latrell Spencer of Benevolent Thomas wins Gold Medal *

* Kuuro of The Indomitable Borderlands of The Grendels wins Silver Medal *

* Hugo AF29 of The Corporate Paradise of Qanzona wins Bronze Medal *

* Lucifer Star of The Familial Spirits of Devil Heart wins Bronze Medal *

* Martha Salm of New Ecopia wins Bronze Medal *

[Benevolent Thomas]

Got dat gold baby!

[Aersoldorf]

Congrats BT, good form. I should have entered all events now that I think about it. I just chose the 2 that I was most interested in.

[Ardreas]

Man, knocked out in the first round again. We're not doing so hot. But congrats BT, you keep the Islands in the spotlight.

[Ananke II]

I managed to get to the 2nd round this time before losing out. Improvement!

[Barry]

Man, big congrats to BT for his Goat Throwing Gold! We always knew he could 'sling the bull', but this?

And kudos to New Ecopia for his Bronze. Way to represent!

Our Goat Thrower made it to the final round, but was constantly running off to the Men's Biffy during the contest. That really threw his timing off....Rumor also has it that he's all goo-goo-eyed over one of the female Wysterian Judges. He may have been trying too hard to impress her.

[Duckyian Empire]

Way to go, BT! I'm surprised that my competitor made it to the final round this time!
