This race actually worked somewhat well, and if it weren’t for ISIS, may have been one of the highlights. Around 20 racers headed to the sea, equipped with boats, and surprisingly, actually stayed still and listened to instructions. Upon the “go” signal, many boats departed, heading north towards Ukraine and the Dnieper River. The course was amazing, many athletes said afterwards, with curvy, straight and wide areas throughout the rugged making for an interesting race. Halfway through the river, ''Watergod'' of ISIS killed 2 boaters, with those who survived passing him and making it to the end. However, with many complaining about an unfair start and many wanting to try out the course again, it was decided to have a second race for fun and to make it more fair. | ||

Although the host cities had spent nearly a month building beautiful arenas, Fix came to the committee days before opening to propose a new idea. He offered a private event server, where committee members and mods would be able to properly regulate the games. The committee left the decision to the hosts, who had spent months working on dedicated arenas, but the hosts agreed ISIS was too much of a threat. The games were pushed back a week while everyone attempted to build a last minute Olympics in the new server. | Although the host cities had spent nearly a month building beautiful arenas, Fix came to the committee days before opening to propose a new idea.

===<nowiki/>=== | === Spleef === | ||
[[Category: | The first event began, with all spectators in spectator mode to avoid a repeat of constantinople. 16 competitors were dropped into the first two chunk layer of snow in survival, and given shovels. Strangely, the community had a moment of actually being decent. No one broke any blocks (except for one incident), and everyone prepared for the start. The two chunk, six layers of snow quickly depleted to the final layer as a contest between DethLogik, gusse5gusse and KyorisCat. | ||
== Britain - ? == | |||
== Australia - Date Unknown<nowiki/> == | |||
In Late January, Australia was chosen as the next host for the Olympics. Construction started shortly after. The date of the games has not been decided as of writing, however the 14th of March is the expected date. | |||
== America - July 2021 == | |||
In early May, America was chosen as the next host for the Olympics, with a date of the games being slated for June 13th. However, various delays brought the opening day to July 17th instead. | |||
=== Running === | |||
Controversy didn't take long to arrive at the American Games, as the first race in running (long-distance) saw an unidentified player use a Splash Potion of Swiftness, rendering some runners faster than others. Much discussion was held in the aftermath of the event, but ultimately a quick poll among participating athletes was taken to amount for their opinion on the fairness aspect of it all. When the results showed most players not really having a strong opinion over the race, that seemingly put a halt in further debate. | |||
1st Place- ''Beaverman1'' (Lower Australia) | |||
2nd Place- ''xK1_'' (Canadian Rockies) | |||
3rd Place- ''Basically_Andrew'' (Persia) | |||
=== Archery === | |||
By all accounts, or lack thereof of any controversy, archery went smoothly despite only four athletes competing. | |||
1st Place- ''69Shock'' (France) | |||
2nd Place- ''2theMAXStairFax'' (Madagascar) | |||
3rd Place- ''Ionao'' (Antarctica)<br /> | |||
