Maximusian Athlete takes home the gold
November 6th, 2019
While Monday showed some less-than-stellar performances by Maximusian athletes, Today has shown quite the opposite. Six events took place and Libertas Omnium Maximus managed to medal in two of them, earning a gold and a silver medal. It would seem the Athletes of LOM are far better equipped to face the challenges of running events than archery.
The gold medal, earned by Jordan Anders, was a stunning performance in the Women's 800m run. Anders set an Olympic Record time of 1:44.38, a time that will be quite hard to beat by future competitors. Anders reportedly was overcome with emotion during the medal presenting ceremony and cried tears of joy as the Maximusian Anthem, We Shall March (Ever Onward), played. Bars all across LOM could be heard chanting her name during the ceremony. Anders' run may go down in the books as one of the best Olympic performances of all time.
Anders's run is a true story of success, and a cause for celebration, but is not the only noteworthy run of the night. John Cromwell also made his mark on the 800m (just for Men's), finishing with a time of 1:45.27. This quite respectable time earned him a silver medal and all of the glory accompanying it. Cromwell also had participated in the Men's 100m, making his feet even more impressive. He had already run a massive race before nearly winning the 800m!
In the coming days we will see the conclusion of Track and Field events and the beginnings of Aquatics. In these coming days, we will see the human body continue to be tested in ways it has never been before. Athletes will reach new heights as they continue to fight hard for their nation.
