Day 3 of the ESOlympiad!

Day 1,714, 19:01 • Published in United Kingdom

• by Elle Roslin

Welcome all to the inaugural ESOlympic games. Just like its real-life counterpart, here countries will compete for medals, status, and the everlasting gray-train of corporate sponsorship. So join in the fun, pick a country, and win prestige and free tanks!

DAY 3

Well well well, what an eventful day in the pool and in the gym! American swimmers of course continue to shine, along with some young (and maybe doped up?) Chinese swimmers. Rowing, judo, and diving rounded out the day.

Three bonus rewards to announce:

20 Tanks to Ukraine for so closely missing out on a medal in gymnastics. Japan appealed and ended up knocking them out.
10 Tanks to the UK for the field hockey captain being a tough cookie - broken jaw and still playing!
5 Tanks for Canada, as a 'Gin & Juice' reward for the Canadian rider getting nearly trampled by her horse.

Lucky Nation Selection

You will recall that I decided to assign the likely top 5 medal winners by random lot. Here are the winners:

China - Alphabethis
USA - Ando Calrissian
Russian Federation - Mezzalily
Germany - BeeDeeCollector
UK - Verygamer747

Special mention to Apronchef, King of Apronia which shall hereby be founded in Uzbekistan!

Current Medal Standings

I have created a GDoc tracking medal winnings. Keep an eye on it over the course of the games to see how you are doing:

Want to participate? Still plenty of countries left! Just message me or post your selection in the comments 😃

If nobody takes them I'll start opening the competition to others!

If you open it to outside of ESO players i'd love Cuba ^_-

Ando Calrissian Day 1,715, 01:38

Damn you, Roz! Now I'm going to have to support the USA. 🙁

...but they'll get me a lot of tanks. Makes up for it, I guess.

You can only choose countries that have not been chosen already, so check out the list and let me know which you would like

Alphabethis Day 1,716, 06:55

roz, thanks for all the entertainment, (and tanks, I go for Canada, btw), I think
a central point of all the ESOlympics would be fine, something like a forum URL or sort of.
