Giovannilandian Olympic Report - 3rd Day Here's your awaited Giovannilandian Olympic Report! Let's review the events of yet another day in the Olympics. Handball: The Giovannilandian team sadly not qualify for the knockout round, as they lost 32-22 on a close match to Hertfordia. The team couldn't get the best runner-up spot either, as Teralyon and Bobki had greater goal differentials. Baseball: It wasn't a wonderful day for the baseball team either, as they lost 3-0 to Fujai. It is not over yet, though, as the team can still advance as best runner-up. They need, however, to win against Irador, the group leader, and score as much as possible. Basketball: Yet another loss (against Nieubasria) ended the hopes of Giovannilandian basketball fans. The team now sits at last on the group with zero points, and even a victory against Bobki won't save it. Football: A close match against Cambria resulted in a draw, even after extra time. The last match against Irador will decide if the team goes to the knockout stage. Rugby Sevens: Giovannilandian rugby fans were also sad after seeing a loss against Zoran, ending most chances of qualifying as the Zoranians now top the group with 6 points. There's still a match against Nieubasria, however the team would need a miracle to win enough points and be the best runner-up. Volleyball: To end with a good news, Giovanniland won 3-1 against Reçueçn on volleyball, as they initially lost a set but went on to win all the following ones. There is lot to come as the team will meet Cambria, Fujai, and Nieubasria soon. Despite these losses, our athletes stay strong and there's plenty of chances for more medals in the coming days! Be sure to tune up tomorrow for another Olympic Report.

Giovannilandian Olympic Report - 2nd Day Hello all for another Giovannilandian Olympic Report! This day in the 1st Summer Olympics, there was plenty happening, as several team sports had their first matches. Let's make an overview of everything! 10k run: In this tiring event, athletes had to run 10 kilometres! Giovanniland did pretty good on here, as Marko Kambraya got a silver medal for running the entire distance in 27 minutes, just 36 milliseconds after Molly Hurdle from Fuentana. Other athletes didn't do so well, as Anastasio Fernando-Vittoriani, Giorgio Quirano, and Sara Urbana-Amorio were placed 20th, 21st and 22nd, respectively. Handball: The Giovannilandian team got off to a good start in a close match against hosts Cambria. Both teams played evenly, and Giovanniland won by only one point, with the final score of 24-23. Soon, the Giovannilandians will play against Hertfordia, leader of the group by point difference. Baseball: It was a wonderful day for the Giovannilandian Baseball team, as they won 5-3 against Cambria. Giovanniland now tops the group, being ahead of Irador, which won against Fujai, by point difference. Basketball: While our country had luck on other team sports, the Basketball team did not succeed, as they lost on a close match 61-70 to Larxia. The team still has chance to qualify to the knockout round, as they will play Nieubasria and Bobki. Football: The Giovannilandian Football team succeeded against Hertfordia, winning 2-1. In the first half, the Hertfordian team scored a goal pretty early, however the star of the match Regina Horatiano-Viselli scored 2 goals on the second half to turn the match around and give the win to Giovanniland. Water Polo: This was yet another successful start for Giovanniland. Our team played against hosts Cambria (again!) and won 8-4. In conclusion, this was a very eventful day! There was only a silver medal, but the many wins on team sports show that Giovanniland has great chances of getting into the knockout round of these, and possibly win more medals for our country. See you tomorrow!
