The Wait is Almost Over!!
By: Matthijs de Jong
New Larxia- As the almost 2 month long break comes to an end, the Liga de Larxia is all set to start in a few days time, and the supporters are not the only ones happy. The players are also very excited to begin yet another year in a League, which many consider one of the best leagues in the Esferos.
There is a keen sense of intrigue within the supporters as well, after their favourite teams strengthened their squads with new players, some developed in the Youth Systems, and some signed new in the Transfer Window.
Though the closing of the transfer window is a whole month away, the teams have not been shy of being active in the market, with quite a few cash-rich teams picking up highly rated international talents in this windows, while the slightly cash-strapped teams turned to the local talent that they can garner into world class players. Both strategies are great, and its not like the Rich teams don't look within Larxia, but every League needs that little foreign influence that is vital and adds the character to the beautiful game of Football.
There were also many rumours of potential legends leaving their clubs. Yes, I am talking about Leo Messy. The NL Falcons supporters went through a whole roller coaster of emotions in that transfer-saga, with League rivals Nexilia CF also in the fight to secure his signature. Though the NL Falcons supporters must be heaving a sigh of relief as only yesterday Leo Messy extended his contract with NLFC, and agreed to defer his wages to accommodate the club's financial requirements.
The First match of the Season will see last year's winners New Larxia Falcons go up against Nexilia CF in a bid to win the first trophy of the season, The Larxian Super Cup. A few days after which the Liga de Larxia will kick off in all its might. Hope to see you all in the Stands!!

Formula 1 in Larxia?
By: Matthew Cash
New Larxia- As the talks between the Motorsport Associations of Esferos have intensified over the possible inauguration of motor races spread across the year in a season format. There are debates as to what to call this magnificent event, but the name 'Formula 1' has seen the most support yet.
Every participating member association will come together to form an International Association for regulating and laying down the base rules of the event. The Asociación Automovilismo de Larxia (Larxian Motorsport Association) has started preparations to revamp the La Marina circuit before placing an official bid to have the circuit included in this sporting event and be known as the Marina GP.
La Marina Circuit
The planned revamp of the circuit includes bigger pits, a larger beside the Straight between the Starting Line and Turn 1. The 50,000 seater Grand Stand's capacity will be increased to 69,000. Another Grand Stand will be built for the Straight between Turns 7 and 8. The most major revamp that the circuit will see is the relaying of the circuit with involvement from Wattstep Inc. The company will work alongside the AAL in laying their technology beneath the circuit. This will generate a lot of electricity from the races held here and will supply electricity to the event and the surrounding areas. Larxia continues to remain serious in its pledge for a greener and cleaner Esferos, and will do exactly that by making the Marina GP as self-sustainable as possible.
Several high profile people and motor companies are also thought to be interested in submitting an official bid to have a team based in Larxia participating in the races. Major Larxian tire manufacturer Virelli is also preparing a major bid to be named as the official tire of the Formula 1. Further details of the individual bids will be revealed as we move further towards the dates of the bidding.

"How are we feeling lads? First time in the knockouts of the Rugby World Cup?" Eddie Hansen asked in his address to the team.
"I believe I speak for the whole team when I say that we're ready for the next challenge. Cambria won't know what hit them, when they face us tomorrow," Captain Kirk replied to assent from the rest of the team.
Felix Cage added, "We have prepared for the Cambria match very well. We have studied their tactics, and created counter-tactics and surprise tactics of our own. We have prepared in the best way possible, now you just need to go out there tomorrow and be confident. Confidence will be key in the match against Cambria, and of course the matches ahead."
"We're also the only Andolian team left, so let's bring the trophy back to Andolia. It's been away from its home for far too long," another player added. The other players murmuring their support.
"Lets go out there and give it our best shot and show those Cambrians that you do not mess with the Larxia."
"Let's go on the count of three. 1...2...3. COYF"
"COYF" Every player in the room shouted at the top of their lungs

Cage stood on the sideline, in silence, a small smile playing on his lips as he saw Kirk completely humiliate the players who have professionally trained in rugby for so long. He had found the diamond in the rough! The single greatest player that every coach wants to find once in their lifetime was right in front of his eyes.
"KIRK! COME HERE," Cage shouted, as he gestured Kirk to the side," You were good out there. Now I just need you to show me if you're fit enough to play full matches. MATTHEW! Yes, take him to the fitness camp, and get a medical done on him asap, then take him to our fitness tests, and send me the recorded readings. Is that clear?"
"Yes Sir, right away. Come on let's go," Cage's assistant, Matthew Wass replied as he gestured for Kirk to follow him.
"Go with him and I'll let you know if you made it. All the best," said Cage, as he left.
"Thank you very much," Kirk replied, visibly grateful.
A few days later, Cage sat in his office as Wass came in to give him the medical reports.
"Sir this is unnatural."
"What?"
"Take a look for yarself"
Cage took the reports in his hands and started reading, eyes getting wider with every line he read. This is definitely unusual, but in a good way. He will make a very good Loose-Head. He perfectly fits that position."
"But Sir, weren't we looking for a Tight-head?"
"I know, but there is something about him that just screams GOAT you know."
"Ok boss. If you're sure"
"Yes I'm sure. Now could you be a saint and prepare to file a petition to the Director to consider this guy's admission to the University. And make sure that he gets good help for the Examinations. We need him to score good, just in case our plea is not accepted. Move at lightning speed. We want him before someone else finds out how good he is."
"Yes Sir. I'll get started right away."

"That was an amazing performance right now against the H&J, but we need to guard ourselves from complacency going forward," Hansen remarked in the dressing room.
"You were amazing out there, but we need to prepare for every match with a similar rigour and determination," Cage said, in agreement to Hansen.
"The coaches are right lads, we need to make sure that we don't take the remaining of our opponents lightly," Kirk said addressing the rest of the team.
"I want to see each one of you back in the movie room tomorrow so we can study Giovanniland and try to create counter-tactics for them as well. Am I clear?"
"Yes Sir."
"AM I CLEAR?"
"YES SIR!"
"CO!"
"YF!"
"CO!"
"YF!"
"COYF!" "COYF!"

24th June, 1412
Felix Cage, the the Head Coach of University of Nexilia, was in New Larxia for the National Rugby College League, with his team from UN, one of the top universities in the nation. Now UN was a great university, but their Rugby team had been lacking in quality, so much so that the last time the team had won the league was 14 years ago. That was the reason Cage was hired by UN, to improve the quality of the sports program in the University.
He was on a leisurely morning stroll in the Memorial Park on the southern side of New Larxia. While jogging in the park, he went through secluded area of the park, which most people avoided due to the criminal activity on that side of the park, but ignorant to that fact, Cage kept on with his run. While running, a masked figure suddenly jumped out of a bush, brandishing a knife towards Cage, intentions clear. Now even though he was a rugby coach, he wasn't as strong as he used to be, so he tried to quietly give his wallet to the mugger, not wanting to cause any kind of trouble, when suddenly, another figure tackled the masked man to the ground in a blur, knocking out the thief.
This was when Felix Cage first met the then 18 year-old, legendary Larxian Captain, Jake Kirk. No he wasn't the mugger, he was the guy who tackled the mugger and save Cage's life, and Cage being Cage, focused more on the tackle than the fact that he saved his life.
"That was a strong tackle! Where'd you learn to tackle like that?" Felix inquired.
"Ohh that? I have been training to be fit enough to play Rugby for the past three years, a lot of coaches turned me away because I couldn't afford to pay," Kirk replied dejectedly, reminded of his past failures.
"With that tackle they should be paying you!" Cage exclaimed.
"Can you please not? I've given up trying, I can't pay and no coaches would take me without it. Who are you anyway?" Kirk replied, visibly agitated.
"Of course I have to. I'm Felix Cage, the Head-Coach of the University of Nexilia Rugby Team. Why don't you drop in at Manitoro Grounds two days later. My team is training there for the NRCL. Come and train a little, if you're good enough, we'll try to get you in. It is up to you. I'm gonna need your name by the way."
"Thank you very much for the opportunity!! My name's Jake Kirk. Once again, you have no idea what this means to me. Thank you very much," an elated Jake replied.

"Another Great Win!! Well Done Guys!" manager Eddie Hansen said, overjoyed.
"We were great out there against Hanita Grasce, a 14-3 win is great and it puts us in an amazing spot at the top of the table, but we need to buckle up for the remaining matches as we face Hertfordia and Giovanniland in the remaining Group C fixtures," Kirk said, cautiously encouraging the team.
"I expect y'all in the movie room first thing tomorrow morning. We will study the Hertfordians in this tournament. They completely mopped the floor with the Giovannilandians, so we will have to study them thoroughly and come up with some counter tactics, and some surprise tactics of our own."
"Then we will move onto the training grounds, and try to deploy those tactics, and see how they work with our set of players. Is that clear everyone?"
"Yes Gaffer. Let's go get a good night's sleep and prepare for day after tomorrow."

10th November, 1409;
"The Falcons have done it. After 28 years in the league, they have finally won the coveted trophy and have been crowned the best team in all of Larxia!!" a commentator could be heard on the TV in the background in the house of 15 year-old, Jake Kirk.
"Dad, one day I'll be up there, lifting that trophy high above everyone's head, and you'll be so proud of me!" an over-excited Jake told his father as they were celebrating their favourite team winning the league.
"Oh you wanna play Rugby do you? Son, we're struggling to make ends meet, I have had to take out loans just for you tuition. I don't think we can afford the Rugby. Trust me no one would be more happier than me even if you play at that stage," his Dad, Matthias Kirk replied, trying not to dishearten Jake as much as he could.
"But Dad!!! Please, I'll work on the side if I have to, but please do something," Jake pleaded to his father, who was showing signs of hesitation.
"I'll try my best to get some sort of arrangement about flexible payments, but I want you to be prepared in case no one agrees," Matthias warned Jake.
"Okay Dad. Thank You just for trying!! Love you so much," Jake replied with as much gratitude as his 15 year-old self had in his body. He was truly overjoyed at this.
"Well then, Let's get to training you and getting you ready. We'll have to show off your talents well if we want to have any chance of getting good coaching."
"Yes!! Let's Go DAD!!", Jake replied with enthusiasm as they went to a park near their house to throw the ball around.
They used to spend hours on the weekends playing Rugby, passing the ball, and Jake used to play a lot with some of his closest (and quite relevant to the story) friends.
(OOC: @United Adaikes thanks for the really good RP prompt. I will be making this a series that will go along with the WC, which will show how my Captain Kirk got into the team.)

"Well done lads, that was a good win in the first match, I was impressed with you overall efforts on the field," said the manager Eddie Hansen in post match address to the team.
"Yes very well done lads, you executed stuck to the game-plans and executed them just as we intended. If you keep this up, we will be one of the teams to beat in this World Cup," said Coach James Mario, as Felix Cage nodded in agreement.
"The coaches are right. We've done really well, and converted the amazing training ground performance to a great match effort. Though we must not get complacent now, it's just the first match, and we're here to win!! What are we here for??" Captain Kirk said with all his heart in a bid to increase the spirits even further.
"We're here to win!!" the team replied.
"I can't hear you!! WHAT ARE WE HERE FOR??"
"WE'RE HERE TO WIN!!!!"
"THAT'S RIGHT, SO LETS ENJOY THIS WIN AND WORK ON OUR NEXT GAME AGAINST HANITA GRASCE."
"YES LETS GO," the team shouted as they prepared to leave for the hotel, spirits at an all time high.
"Get to the hotel and get in some rest. We will study how the Hanita Grascean National Team plays, and Kirk, you'll have an analysis of the team first thing tomorrow, go through it and convey everything to the team. Am I clear?"
"Yes Sir!! LET'S TRAIN FOR THE CUP LADS!!"

Zoran- Rugby fever has hit the world as the nations prepare for the much anticipated, Third Rugby World Cup, being hosted by the rebuilding nation of Zoran. The 3rd edition of the Rugby World Cup is all set to kick-off from 9th February, 1422. The live coverage of the Rugby World Cup is brought to you by Falconel Sports, your one stop for anything Rugby, in collaboration with our partners from Min-Su, The MBS Network.
And Ohhh! Do we predict a spicy group stage for Larxia, as they're drawn against the likes of the pretty neutral continent-mates Hertfordshire & Jammbo, a really great friend Blue Bubble, we haven't had that much exposure on the international stage with them Hanita Grasce, and we're not sure what is going on Giovanniland. While good friends, Min-Su have been drawn in Group D alongside United Adaikes, Cambria, Qostaoye and Nagaraningrad.
The Group Stage Draw
Credit: 3rd Rugby World Cup Official Media
Leo Rugiet- We will be coming live for our group stage matches from the beautiful city of Leo Rugiet. The architecture, and the sculptures in this here city are truly breath-taking. The diversity of the past Saint Markan colonists and the native Zoranians is quite prominent, yet quite infused into one another. This city is a true example of how a benevolent colonist can actually bring about good change in a country. And when you look at the breathtaking Markanus Stadium, which will be home to the Larxian Team, the players are definitely going to enjoy playing here, as Larxia takes on Blue Bubble in their first match of 3rd Rugby World Cup. Larxia have participated in the previous edition of the RWC, but this is Blue Bubble's first appearance in the RWC, so they are an unscouted bunch. Tune in to Falconel 1 Sports Channel for all things Larxia.

9th February 1422, 9:00 PM,
"Janice, make preparations for my visit to Zoran for the World Cup, Mackenzie, Dominic and Jamie will be travelling with me as well," The King told his relatively newly appointed assistant, Janice Lopez.
"Right away Sir. I will also get the staff in the Estate to prepare for Your Majesty's arrival," Janice replied.
During this conversation, Prince Dominic, along with Prince Sergio entered the King's office.
"What are we talking about brother?" Prince Dominic queried.
"Oh, nothing much, just asking Janice to make preparations for our visit to Zoran. It will be very interesting to see first-hand, how they have been rebuilding their country. We did provide some assistance to them for the same," King James answered.
"I wanna go to Zoran too!! I haven't met Atsil in such a long time," cried out 13-year old, Princess Georgina, as she sat in the King's empty chair.
"You know I can't say no to you my lovely sister (imagine this but with a little more brotherly love tone)," the King said, "Janice, please make preparations for Gio as well."
"Right away your majesty, I will have everything in order. May I take you leave now?" Janice asked politely as she bowed towards the exit.
"Sure, good-bye,"the King replied.
"So are we excited to go to Zoran," the King asked Princess Gio, "You must be excited to meet Atsil. To be truthful, even I haven't met her since her nation descended into chaos. Dominic, you have been coordinating with Waholi and her, tell me, how has she been."
"I don't know, I guess she has been acting pretty usually, though I feel like somewhere deep down in heart, she feels a little responsible for what happened in Zoran, like it happened because of her," Prince Dominic replied.
"She has always been strong like her father, I'm sure she will be one of the greatest rulers Zoran has ever seen," the King remarked.

Future of Power Generation?
By: Angelo Martinez
Nexillia- A young start-up, called Wattstep Inc., founded in 1420, by the then 19 year-old engineering student, Jay Adhikari, recently secured their Series C funding, receiving Σ75 million ($141.5 million) for 18.5% stake in his company, at a valuation of roughly Σ405.405 million ($764.915 million), from the biggest Venture Capitalist company in Larxia, New Larxia Holdings. At this valuation, Wattstep Inc. saw one of the highest ever Series C funding rounds in the recent years.
Why was this company valued so highly in just 2 years?
Well, the answer is simple. Adhikari created a solution for alternative production of energy in a bid to reduce Larxia's, and eventually the world's dependence on coal and nuclear power plants. As the world moves towards Electric Vehicles, our dependence on electricity will be even more amplified. While there are good alternative sources like Solar Energy, Wind Energy, etc., but the Solar or Wind farms occupy a lot of space that not many countries can spare, forcing them to depend on conventional methods of energy production like coal and nuclear plants. Adhikari found a solution for that. He developed a technology which goes under the roads, and generates electricity from the friction between the vehicles and the roads, or the the friction caused due to a person walking.
Why this valuation?
Until now, Adhikari had only supplied this technology in small, private projects, awarded to him by private corporations to make their office campuses as eco-friendly and self-sustainable as possible. Following his success in these private contracts, the company, Wattstep Inc. came into the periphery of King James, who has been trying to create an ecologically sound Larxia. He immediately talked with the executives of NLH in the next board meeting and convinced them to invest in this promising company. Wattstep Inc. was also awarded a Σ3 billion contract of revamping the power structuring of the Nexillia Metro in accordance with the Nexillia Metropolitan Region Development Authority (NMRDA). This power generating technology will be fitted in the walkways and staircases of the Nexillia Metro, hoping to make the Nexilia Metro network self-sustaining. Further contracts are expected to be awarded to the company based on the success of the Nexillia Metro Eco-Fitting Project.
Needless to say, both Wattstep Inc. and Jay Adhikari have a bright green future ahead of themselves, as visionary entrepreneur Elon Dusk, the owner of Teslar, the biggest Electric Vehicle manufacturer in the whole world, has shown interest in working with Wattstep Inc., and Adhikari.

From the desk of the King of Larxia
With the recent increase in passport fraud across the Esferos, I, King James of Larxia, with the backing of the Royal Council, hereby declare my support for this venture. The new passports are expected to be brought into use by the population by the fourth quarter of the year 1422.

The King entered a sleek black armoured SUV in the middle of a 4 vehicle motorcade, with Prince Dominic and his trusted aide Jamie Marshall alongside him. He was quite confident about meeting the other leaders, but he was a little nervous as well, considering what had happened with that news anchor, Mario Diaz, or Ruiz or something. He was worried that many major political players would be offended, especially one of his closest friends, Prince Marcarius. He was worried whether the nation leaders would try to understand what happened and try to overlook what happened yesterday.
It was quite evident that something was troubling King James. So Prince Dominic tried to ask him about what was bothering him. The King replied, saying that he was worried after the Mario incident, and felt that the leaders would not give enough respect to his words in the meeting after that debacle. The Prince knew how serious of a problem that was, so he tried to reassure the King, reminding him that they had contacted the studio on the Mario situation, and the studio would give them an update very soon.
The King spent the rest of the drive in silence, as the motorcade whisked him to the Duchy Estate. At the Estate, Marshall announced the guests to the guard at the Duchy Estate. "His Majesty, King James of Larxia, accompanied by His Highness, Prince Dominic and myself, Sir Jamie Marshall." The King nodded politely to the guard as he let them through.
The King noticed that quite a few heads of states had already arrived as he entered the main hall. The first one to greet the King was the Mpitarika of Blue Bubble. "This is a really amazing Estate! It makes me want to buy an estate in Blue Bubble. The Esferiads have been treating you well. You must be proud of the work your athletes have put in the Games, rising above the set expectations. You already know Dominic, and this is my trusted aide Jamie Marshall." The King then turned towards Meklit Guntur, "Hello Meklit? Guntur. Meklit Guntur, nice to meet you, quite an amazing performance in Esferiads huh. Congratulations on the bronze medal. Meet the Foreign Affairs Minister of Larxia, my brother, Prince Dominic, I am sure the two of you will get along well, and I hope Larxia and Blue Bubble will be even stronger allies than before
The King then proceeded to mingle with the other leaders, the first one being Prince Marcarius Halohin of Saint Mark. "Marcarius! It's been a long time, how have you been? That is great to hear. I'm fine as well, You already know my brother, Dominic, and this is Jamie, my closest aide. Oh! And sorry about that news broadcaster, I am looking into that matter," the King said, as he plucked a flute of champagne off the tray as a waiter offered a wide selection of drinks, " This estate sure is beautiful isn't it? I know! Makes we want to buy an estate of my own in this nation. Hey, I was wondering if our nations should collaborate and possibly sign an initial trade treaty. We can take it forward as convenient after a review of the benefits. On a side note, I was wondering if you would be open to joining an Internation Scientific Regulatory Body. It is a good initiative that is sure to benefit Saint Mark as well. The monarchs of the world have got to stick together. Alright I'll see you again, I'll meet some other leaders as well. Sure see you later."
The King then approached Sultan Arif Nazhim and his wife Isabella. "Arif and Isabella! How have you guys been. It's been a long time since we meant. yes, I believe the last time we met was when our parents were still the monarchs. I have been talking to some leaders here about establishing an International Scientific Regulatory Body, and was hoping that you would support such a positive and constructive initiative that will only improve the infrastructure and the standards living around the world. It was really good to meet you. I'll go and try to drum up further interest in the Scientific Body. Let us try to meet again soon. Bye Arif, Isabella."
The King, accompanied by Jamie Marshall, continued to talk to the leaders, trying to drum up interest and hopefully get a few members into the Science Body straight off the bat. Prince Dominic also talked to some of the leaders trying to get a trade treaty in here or there, and selling the Science Body in the best way possible to the world leaders.

Mario: Welcome viewers to Day 3 of the Esferiad news. Today we will cover the happenings in the Esferiads over in Quoriv and Kharventhin, as Larxia managed to win another 2 medals, once again a gold and a bronze. I will pass it over to Natasha Diaz, who will bring you news from Quoriv. Over to you Nat.
Natasha: Thanks Mario. Hello viewers, welcome back to Quoriv, as our athletes duke it out against athletes from all over the Esferos for the prestigious Esferiad medals. In the 100 m Run, athletes Florence Carter, Chris Davies and Paula Pryce managed to qualify for the semi-finals, which saw the elimination of Pryce, as Davies and Carter made it into the finals. Both of them finished at the exact second, finishing at 11.01, but Davies was unlucky, as he was a tad bit late than Carter, missing out narrowly on a Bronze, or maybe even a joint bronze. High Jump athletes Dani Levante and Austin McMop, both qualified for the finals, but they weren't able to finish in the top three. Tennis! Tennis is where it was a good for Larxia. Tennis Start Rafael Nodial went all the way and won a well-deserved gold in the Tennis Singles Event. Emma Williams also came close to glory of her own as she barely lost to United Adaikes' Lacey John. In Baseball, Larxia handily defeated Fuentana 10 runs to 6 as Larxia go top of Group B. There was no Basketball match for Larxia today, as this was a rest day for the Larxian team. That is all there is to report in Quoriv. Back to you Mario.

Tank you bery mush, I'll now pazz id ova to Zami.
Jamie: Are you okay Mario? Well, thanks anyways. I'll be taking over for the news for Kharventhin. Larxia had an average time here in Kharventhin. Marta Diaz our very own Nat's sister, managed to qualify for the finals of the 200 m Backstroke, but lost a medal position by 40 seconds finishing behind 3rd placed Ethel Merman from Saint Mark. In case of Trap Shooting, there was no Larxian representation in the finals of the event. The Water Polo team had a good day in the office as they beat the team from Teralyon 10-6, making their way to the 2nd spot in Group B. It was a day of rest for the beach volleyball duo of Garcia and Velasco, as the other 4 teams in the group battled it out today. That was all for the results of Day 3 in Kharventhin, though i believe tomorrow there will be a lot more to report on tomorrow as the leaders will sit down for a formal meeting in the Duchy Estate here in Kharventhin. Back to you Mario.

From the Desk of the King James of Larxia
Dear Kassakira,
I am very delighted at being invited to the formal meeting being hosted by you in the Duchy Estate of Kharventhin. It will be a good opportunity to talk to the world leaders and improve Larxia's network.
I am writing this letter to you to personally confirm my attendance for this event, and look forward to talking to you soon. My brother, Prince Dominic, who you might also know as the Foreign Affairs Minister of Larxia, will also be in attendance for this event.
I look forward to a positive meeting tomorrow.

Mario: Welcome ladies and gentlemen, to the Larxian Esferiad Show, I am Mario Ruiz and we bring to you updates from Quoriv and Kharventhin, where the Esferiads are being hosted. As all of you are aware, Larxia had a pretty good 1st Day, but the fortunes of our athletes didn't favour them on the Day 2 of the Esferiads. Well we can't change what happened, but we will continue to support our athletes through thick and thin, and athletes, if you're watching this, all of us here in Larxia are very proud of how you are performing and representing Larxia on the international stage. Now I will pass the time to Natasha, who will get you the news from Quoriv. Over to you Nat.
Natasha: Thank you Mario. The second day of the Esferiads were a complete opposite to what happened on the first day. Our Equestrian Dressage team managed to secure qualification, but came in 6th in the final round, losing a medal in the process. The Tennis Singles event was one of the best things to happen to Larxia on Day 2 as all of the athletes from Larxia comfortably qualified for the next round. Larxia fell to a close defeat at the hands of the Andolian neighbours, H&J, losing a mere 6-5 loss. The Basketball team on the other hand was handily defeated by the Cambrians, 81-66. Even after this result, Larxia sits 3rd in the group out of 7 teams. That is all for Larxia in Quoriv. Back to you Mario.
Mario: Thanks a lot for the happenings in Quoriv Nat. Now we will move onto my colleague in Kharventhin. Over to you Jamie.
Jamie: Thanks dude. Now to the news in Kharventhin. The 3 m Springboard event was one to forget for the athletes, as only Jake Kidd managed to make it to the Semi-finals, where he ended up missing qualification, so Larxia had no representation in the 3 m Springboard finals. The 1500 m Freestyle Swim also saw no representation of Larxia in the finals, as every swimmer of the Larxian contingent failed to secure qualification, with Marcus Alejandro being the best performer for the nation. Well, onwards and upwards for the swimmers, as they will be looking to improve on their performance in this event. Larxian shooters Drake Maxwell and Hana Lee also failed to qualify in the 10 m Air Rifle event. We wish them the best for their future events and they will be training hard as well. The Larxian Water Polo team had a good day in the office as they handily defeated co-hosts Giovanniland 11-5. And the Beach volleyball duo of Garcia and Velasco fell to another defeat in their group drawings. Needless to say, they will have to step up and give it their all if they wish to qualify to the later stages of Esferiads. That is basically it for news in Kharventhin. Back to you Mario to close this off.
Mario: Thank you Jamie. As things stand, right now Larxia has won a gold medal and a bronze medal, putting us at the 7th position in the Medal tally. The athletes will be working very hard for the remaining days, and we suggest that the people turn up to support our athletes. It would definitely mean a lot to them and probably help them perform even better. That is it for today. Be sure to tune in tomorrow, same place same time. Till then Adiós, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye.

Mario: Greetings fellow Larxians, I am Mario Ruiz, and I bring you the news of Esferiad currently being hosted by Giovanniland and Blue Bubble. I believe that most of y'all have been following the Esferiad Games live, on our sister-channels LSPN 1 through 4. If you're not watching the live telecasts, and need a short summary of what happened, you are in the right place. The first day of the Esferiad was quite eventful for nations like Larxia, Blue Bubble, Saint Mark. Blue Bubble, the co-hosts of the competition started the Esferiads with a big haul of 5 medals on Day 1. Saint Mark had a haul of 3 medals, while Larxia, Nieubasria and Santos-Dominius added two medals to their tallies, with the three nations winning a gold medal and a bronze medal each. Onto news regarding Larxia, we won a gold, which was brought to us by Michael Phillip, who in doing so, also equalled the Esferic record for 200 m Freestyle Swim. Isn't that an achievement to be proud of. This was the 19 year-old's first Esferiad appearance, and he managed to snag a gold in his primary event. Needless to say, all eyes will be on him as we will see him in action in the other swimming events. Our on-location crew tried to get an interview with Phillip, but he replied that he could not come on air as he had to practice for the remaining events, but has promised us time after the Esferiads have culminated. Our other medal came in Artistic Swimming. You could see the amazing coordination between the team-mates. This event also saw the first Gold-Medal tie of the II Esferiad, between Nieubasria and Santos-Dominius. I will now pass over the "torch"(exaggerated air quotes) to Natasha Diaz in Quoriv. Over to your Nat.
Natasha: Thank you Mario, I'm here in Quoriv, where Larxian fans have flocked to the stadiums to support our athletes. You could see atleast one Larxian flag every 2-3 rows of stands. The turnout has been completely overwhelming, and the athetes have shown in their performanes, how much the supporters' presence means to them. Moving onto the status of the competition here in Quoriv, the Larxian Baseball team managed to overcome the team from United Adaikes, in a close match, ending 5-2. The Basketball team also managed to handily defeat their counterparts from Fujai 75-51. Archery was a little underwhelming for our nation, as archer Alex Garcia fell short of qualification by one position. That is all the news related to Larxia here in Quoriv. Back to you Mario.
Mario: Thank you Nat. Now we will move onto the events taking place in Kharventhin. The report in Kharventhin will be brought to you by our on-field team, led by my colleague, Jamie Olivier. Over to you Ollie.
Jamie: Thanks a lot Mario, and welcome to Kharventhin, where our very own Michael Phillip has tied the Esferic record for the 200 m Freestyle Swim. It is definitely a moment to be proud of, as a Larxian has made a mark in the history books of the sport. Also, both the medals won by Larxia on Day 1 were won here, in Kharventhin. It would seem that our treaty and friendship with the Glenpavians is our lucky charm. In other news in Kharventhin, the Beach Volleyball duo of Davide Garcia and Max Velasco lost a close defeat to the duo from Teralyon, losing both sets 21-19. Considering how close this match was, I would say that our dynamic duo have a really good chance of making a comeback. In the 10 m Air Pistol event, Larxia's Riley Brooks lost out on qualifying for the finals even though she had the same amount of points as the last qualifying person, Nine Leiffson from Dalimbar. We do not have the full knowledge as to what the rules are in case of something like this, but Riley has accepted what has happened with her, and is looking towards the future, probably making sure she qualifies safely, so such a situation doesn't arise again. Our Water Polo team suffered a really close defeat to the Cambrians, losing 8-6, which is not that bad. They definitely have a shot at qualification. I believe that is all for today, thank you, and back to you Mario.
Mario: Thank you Jamie for the updates in Kharventhin. Thank you for tuning in to the show. We'll meet again tomorrow, same place same time. Till then, Adiós, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye.

The Larxian delegation has just landed in Quoriv and a are making their way towards the Quoriv Esferiad Village to freshen up before the Opening Ceremony. His Royal Highness, King James has also travelled all the way to Giovanniland to be a part of the Opening festivities of the Esferiad! We have reports stating that Leo Messy and my lovely sister, Marta Diaz have been announced as the flag-bearers and the leaders of the Larxian delegation. The complete delegation is in Quoriv right now, and they will be divided after the Opening Ceremony, as the athletes who will be participating in the sports hosted by Kharventhin will make their way to the Kharventhin Esferiad Village. We also found out what the Larxian delegation will be wearing in the Opening Ceremony. It should be on the screen right about now.
Natasha: I have also seen a lot of Larxian fans flocking to Quoriv and Kharventhin to watch the Games and support our athletes with extreme fervour, like extremely extreme fervour. It's so contagious, like I can't, I just can't. It is totally....
Mario: Unbelievable yes, thank you Nat, that is all for today. There isn't much to report on in Kharventhin at the moment, but my great friend Jamie will be joining us tomorrow, to report on the preparations and results of first day of the II Summer Esferiad. Till then Adiós, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye.
