The Olympics

Not to be confused with the Penguin League, a similar event yet not The Olympics

The Olympics is a major athletic event where many states and nations compete for medals. The Olympics was invented during the High Penguin Confederacy in 1894 when a lost human athlete crashed into Antarctica and claimed to be part of the human version of the olympics. The High Penguins and the human together decided to bring it to Antarctica. First played by the provinces. The original host city was Olympia (according to the human athlete he named the city after where the "Ancient Olympics" were held) in the modern day Antarctic Peninsula and the city which gave name to the County of Olympia.

At first there were only Summer games which were first held in Olympia. The winter games were held in 1924 in the Trans-Antarctic Mountains. The Olympics were suspended during Khanzem and also during the Snowman Empire. They were revived by the Frozantium Empire, PreTerra and Olde Antarctica. The three nations created the Intercontinental Olympic Commitee (IOC) and also the first Paralympics and the Youth Olympic Games.

The IOC compirises of intercontinental sports federations, National Olympic Commitees (NOCs) and organising comitees for certain games. As the decision-making-body for which city hosts the olympics, it's the IOC's job to decide which city holds the olympics (Winter, Youth, Para and Summer as such). If a city is chosen as a host then it'll get it's own NOC who is reponsible for organising the games. Bids are made eight or nine years before the games as the hosts need time for preperations.

The governmerning body of the city is also is reponsible. Not only do they need to build a olympic village but they also need to improve what the IOC considers poor (eg public transportation, road and highway network, overseas connection etc). Sometimes the national government may also have the burden of helping with the highways, the overseas connection. In fact sometimes international governments has have to help out.

Many nations consider it a honour to host the Olympics. Not only do they have the honour of actually hosting them but also it brings great wealth and the stadiums left over can be converted for other uses (like rounders for instance). It also improves life for many city residents since they may have better public transport, a better airport and so much more. It also gives many athletes who no one has ever heard of fame.
