The Fuentana Olympic Contingent: Behind the Scenes
Baron Comte von Fontaine, Fuentana's Monarch, wouldn't miss it for the world. As final preparations began for the TWP Summer Olympics, the Monarch announced he would accompany the Olympic contingent and personally cheer the nation, all while rubbing elbows with the elite across the region.
After a sumptuous brunch with the monarch, the athletes returned to Boutique, a chic new hotel in Saint-Josalyn. There, they lounged for an hour and a half before donning their official uniforms and making way to the opening ceremony.
Fuentana's athletes had a surprise in store. When their nation made their way out for the parade, the basketball team pulled out bluetooth speakers and blasted Crab Rave. Then, team by team, they flossed and moonwalked to introduce each other. The last tandem of athletes to be introduced were the nation's sole men's 4 x 400m relay team, who fashioned themselves into an a cappella quartet called Botched Handoff. They gave a stirring rendition of Fuentana's national anthem.
Time will tell whether the fancy footwork of Fuentana's Olympians will translate into glory on the track, the basketball court, or the baseball diamond. But the optimism is palpable among these athletes and their monarch.

Here's a prompt if it helps:
Where or how are you finding meaning during this crisis? Writings may deploy poetry or prose in response. As you ponder the question consider some of the following:
- Persons: what have friends, family members, strangers said or done to render care and support? Have you read about or learned about any heroic figures in your local community or beyond?
- Places: is there a special space in your home or neighborhood (if safe) that you've turned to?
- Practices: are there any daily rituals or regular practices that have helped you? This can range from cooking to watching The Office to prayer or meditation to art.
-

Fuentana's First Medal: Em Scissors takes Bronze in 1500m
In a closely contested 1500m final, Em Scissors held on during the final 200m of the race to finish with a bronze. This gave Fuentana their first medal in the Summer Olympics.
"It's a little disappointing that [teammate] Molly Hurdle did not qualify for the finals. We've been training together for the last two years," noted Scissors. Despite that, Hurdle was clearly overjoyed at her teammate's accomplishment. She was captured on camera cheering loudly.
During the post event press conference, Hurdle explained: "It's definitely a lot of emotions to process, but the running community is a small one. I've raced Francine and Catia plenty of times, and each one of us, Em included, has had our victories. Sometimes it comes down to who had the best rest, the best food, and so on. For me, well, I know not to carboload on fettucine alfredo before the big day."
Scissors added with a bit of shade, "The important thing is that the medalists truly earn it." At Fuentana's Olympic Qualifiers, two middle distance runners failed pre-race drug tests and were immediately slapped with an eight-year ban from the national team program.
"We train the right way by training at high altitudes and carefully following a dietary regimen that relies on good, healthy food and good old fashioned training. That's what makes this moment so special."
Scissors and Hurdle were later seen celebrating in Saint-Josalyn with the other medalists and with Fuentana's Monarch at a well-known whisky bar. The Monarch seemed to be quite cozy with one of the runners...
