SHUELL DECLARES THE GAMES OPEN!
Day One Recap
Archery
Central and Shuell have declared the games open in what should be an interesting and brilliant showcase of regional sport. The opening ceremony was a celebration of Shuell and yet celebrated years of cooperation and peace between the nations of the IDU, culminating in a massive eagle rising at centre-stage.
Although it is November, the usual good weather spell of early November should permit a good edition, with the calendar also permitting some winter sports to come along for the party. The temperatures during the first week and a half should be stable around 12C, but should fall shortly after which has caused some questions between committee members due to the climate during Winter.
The C.O.L. anticipating such, trained during October in the interior where the temperatures are colder, so that the athletes could get used to less warmer temperatures. It is a reminder that the Lusitanian hopefuls are still unsure if they are to compete with a statement on all sports coming during the night. New Lusitania put Miguel Ferrão as the flag bearer for this momentous occasion as over twenty countries compete for the coveted medals. The first competition was Archery and it didn't start well for the Lusitanians as either entrant could participate as da Cunha had a sprained arm at the final preparation tournament, the Torneio do Infante, in the southern part of the country. Meanwhile, his female counterpart was unable to come due to personal matters meaning the traditional sport did not have a national representation.
Meanwhile, for the eighteen nations competing it was business as usual.
The early competition was the Team tournament as sixteen nations placed their best duo competing, with some interesting results in store. Lauchenoiria had a less than great start in this sunny morning placing a surprising last, at 1854. The hosts didn't find what were looking for in the morning after a slow start, reaching better results after a few rounds, getting a final result of 1902 (11th). The podium however was taken by the Shen Empire in third, Kerlile in the silver position and Serriel taking gold. What's most interesting here is the considerable gap from Kerlile to Serriel, a total of eighteen points between them.
In an afternoon of intermittent sunshine, the Women's competition took place as eighteen took their sharp shooting skills to the test. The momentum carried from the team event was clear both at the top and bottom of the table. Shuell's Rehberg finished in the lower positions along with the Laeralites and the Lauchenoirians. Juliette Ross had a disappointing performance finishing 13th, despite having done solidly in the morning. Eiria's Elsane and Gardavasque's Fletcher were consistent throughout the day with the latter only two points from the medals. Between her and the bronze were Comhar's Ellie which scored one more than her and the medalist herself Kerlile's Flanagan with 654, a result which will definitely be a good one for the matriarchy back in her homeland. Juanjuan of the Shen Empire managed to edge out silver with 656 after an excellent final round as Bonnan deservedly took the gold for her nation of Zamastan.
With little time to lose between events, in the men's it was a closely fought competition which lasted until the very end. Lauchenoiria's sport campaign started off decently enough with Teófilo Soto getting a 5th place as Laeral, the only nation allowed two athletes for this event produced an average day as both sat in midtable.In the final round, L.O.M. found their man John David cut off the podium by the hosts Andras which put it closer to the centre with a sharp eye, to take bronze, a decent start to proceedings for the hosts. Serriel's Doreli came close but a 23 in one of the rounds proved to haunt him as She Yi took gold by three points meaning The Shen Empire took the final top spot of the day. The first day of the celebration of sport came to a close when the medals were presented to their winners by national and committee officials.
The day's Winner
Despite all three tournaments being hardly thought, only one country could truly be considered the winner of Day One - The Shen Empire. A nation that was on the top of their game today to get on all three available podiums, including a goal medal.
Update: Following the medal celebration, the IDUOC had their final deliberation on the Lusitanian situation. As previously intended, New Lusitania's delegation will, in fact, participate in the First Olympiad according to the published document as they hope to get some good results in their first International stint. The team believes they've prepared well enough. Paulo Roque from the committee believes that and adds the extra precautions due to Shuell's climate, up in the interior to get more resistance in colder conditions. António Rodrigues, running for the 100 metres event evaluated their preparation by remarking that "many steps were taken so that we can come home with something."
OOC - Thanks to Shuell for letting me participate and for hosting what seems to be a good games. Will post Day 2 soon.
