Hierminister Hereward's statement on the accessibility of free menstrual products in all state-operated schools across Nieubasria Statement | North The High | November 5, 1421 | Hierminister for state of Education, Adela Hereward, issued the following statement:
"Not having the ability to access menstrual products makes it hard to fully participate in school. I want to make sure that young girls have every opportunity to thrive in school and are not limited by factors they can't control.
With the generous attention and fast-tracking made possible by Estates-Minister of Education Blanid, to promote and uphold sexual and reproductive health and rights, we will make access to menstrual products free for all students at state operated schools across Nieubasria. All students in state-operated primary and secondary schools and in select state-operated Universities and colleges schools across Nieubasria will have access to free menstrual products in the coming weeks. We will work with partners and consult with communities to ensure that menstrual products are available to all students who need them. We will share more details on this initiative in the following weeks.
Menstrual products are a basic need and are essential to ensure a person's full participation in school, work, and society. I am fully committed to making these vital products readily available and to supporting girls across the country."

Government of Nieubasria invites small businesses to develop an artificial intelligence decryption service
News release | Clarendon | November 4, 1421 | Innovation, Science and Economic Development Basria, Agency of the Estates-Ministry of Industry
The Government of Nieubasria is looking for innovative ways to help Basric businesses succeed. Today, Innovative Solutions Basria launched a new challenge led by the Prince's Special Police (PSP).
Along with other Basric law enforcement agencies, the PSP is facing challenges in accessing encrypted data seized during the course of criminal investigations. Individuals engaging in illegal behaviours have been using sophisticated encryption techniques to bypass legal prosecution. The PSP is looking for an artificial intelligence decryption system that can process the seized data files and generate specific word lists to try and access the encrypted material.
Quick facts
Small businesses will have until December 20 to apply to the challenge.
Through the Innovative Solutions Basria program, government departments are inviting small businesses to come up with a new innovative product, service or solution that answers a specific challenge they face. Winning small businesses may receive up to 750,000฿ to refine their research and development and, if accepted into phase 2, receive up to 5฿ million to develop a working prototype. The government can then act as a first customer, helping these businesses commercialize their innovations, scale up their business and create secure middle-class jobs across Astoria.
Innovative Solutions Basria is a key component of the government-in-Hier’s Innovation and Skills Plan, a multi-year plan to make Basria a global innovation leader and prepare all subjects to succeed in tomorrow’s economy.
There are hundreds of programs and services that offer everything from funding to expert advice in order to help businesses innovate, create jobs and grow Basria's economy. Using a simple, story-based user interface, the Innovation Basria platform can match businesses with the most fitting programs and services in about two minutes.

Kurabis-based wellness company geared toward seniors to pay 950,000฿ for violating telemarketing rules
News release | Clarendon | November 3, 1421 | Basric Radio and Telecommunications Commission (BRTC), Agency of the Estates-Ministry of Public Infrastructure
The BRTC today announced that Kuradiffusion Inc has agreed to pay a 950,000฿ penalty as part of a settlement for making non-compliant telemarketing calls. The Parducze, Kurabis-based company, more widely known as DiffusariKo, specializes in the direct sale of wellness products geared toward seniors.     
The investigation uncovered that DiffusariKo committed several violations of the Unsolicited Telecommunications Rules between September 1418 and October 1419. During that period, millions of unsolicited calls were made to Basrians– some of which were made to telephone numbers registered on the Statutory Do Not Call List (SDNCL) and outside of the permissible calling hours. Some calls were also made during periods when the company failed to purchase a subscription to the Statutory DNCL. The company enlisted the services of call centres based in Santos-Dominius and Deneiria. 
Basrians who think the telemarketing rules are not being followed can submit a complaint to the BRTC.

Treint- "And there is a good chance that we will see the Astorian teams directly against one another in the finals either the Gold or Bronze match - something not seen even in the first Summer Esferiad OR the World Cup of Football."
Mona- "Everyone at home, please don't forget that the only team able to get in a goal against the Cambrians, or I should say Keller, at the World Cup before the semi-finals was the Basric Nationals under Earc Velding. The Larxians eventually broke the charm, leading them to face the Nationals in the finals- was it Velding or some greater Astorian juju dispelling the mystifying streak?"

                               Today in Quoriv, Vivien Sampaio the Gymnastics Nieubasria posterwoman has announced her retirement from organized gymnastics. This comes just weeks after she says her doctors confirmed her pregnancy. 
Esferic Quorum doctors advised Vivien to not compete in such strenuous activity as this level of athletics poses. This may have contributed to her standings when compared to the first Esferiad. 
Gymnastics Nieubasria has expressed their best wishes as Vivien completes these games and in all future endeavours.
She and her partner, Estael intend to focus on their family in the coming months.

COMMENTARY
"Good evening once again, Orandia! I'm Lex Lascar, as always, and we appreciate your patience with us yesterday. We were, ehm, short a few marbles. But we are here today with gold-medal gymnast Lisa Zenik! While her fellow gymnast Roméo Azaïs has managed to earn several medals in several events under the very broad umbrella of gymnastics, he has yet to earn a gold. Now, Lisa, I couldn't help but notice how calm you looked on the parallel bars yesterday. What's your secret to keeping calm, so you don't crack under pressure?
Lisa: "Honestly? I don't mind crowds when I perform. I know some people don't like it, or block it out, but I like to hear people cheering. In fact, I told the other gymnasts to cheer extra loud when I was up. It's really motivating for me."
"I know I, for one, enjoy a good cheer directed at me. But in the semi-final round, you were in the last qualifying spot. I, and I'm sure all of Orandia, was worried you wouldn't get the green light to continue. What factors do you think contributed to that 15.1?"
Lisa: "I had a new, unique technique I used on the uneven bars, but it didn't quite go perfectly, and I didn't get any medals for it. So my coach and I decided to apply what we could of it for the parallel bars, instead. It takes awhile to adjust a routine like that, and it was very risky, but go big or go home, right? So my head wasn't fully in it for the semifinals, and I didn't get off the bars quite right. But I felt much more confident when I did it for the finals."
"I can't imagine the skill it takes to change a routine so quickly. You must have felt like there was a tug-of-war between your old habits and the new ones. But you prevailed! Now that Roméo isn't the only Orandian gymnast with a medal, how are conversations with your fellow gymnasts going these days?"
Lisa: "I've definitely rubbed it in his face. But then he tells me he can't hear me over his three medals. I think Celeste and Jules are a little jealous of the both of us, although Jules is better at not showing it. I hope they get medals at some point, too. They've definitely trained hard enough to earn one."
"And that's all we have time for today! Thank you for answering my questions, Lisa. I'm going to go watch the last episo–I mean, the last Esferiad events of the day! I'll see you next time, Orandia, and have a good night!"

Blue Bubble and Kharventhin

The Coat of Arms of Kharventhin and Flag of Blue Bubble respectively.


A map of Blue Bubble showing Kharventhin in the north along the coast- the closest city in Blue Bubble is Avaratra.
Basic Information
Blue Bubble is located on the west side of Lavender Island, and has a rich history which is entwined with Giovanniland. As the current Mpitarika attempts to come out of the isolation culture the previous leaders have adopted, working with Giovanniland offers the perfect stage for new relations that Blue Bubble is wanting to begin.
Kharventhin is perhaps the most ancient city in Blue Bubble, with its origins in the Lavandulan civilization. It was founded during Lavandula’s westward expansion in the 16th century BF and served as an important outpost. During the fall of the Lavandulan Empire, it became abandoned for a while, but was reconquered by the Duchy of Quoriv after the Battle of Kharventhin in 187 BF, becoming the main access to the western north of Lavender Island. It remained a major northern city during the Giovannian Empire, and later became the main northern centre for Blue Bubble’s struggle for independence. Its importance of culture is still well noted now, with plenty of monuments and history buildings across the central city landscape. During the time of Blue Bubble, it has been identified as a quietly expanding city, with many close villages becoming suburbs for the city, and is the 3rd largest city in Blue Bubble. It is noted as one of the upcoming cities of Blue Bubble for 1421, and a well-loved holiday for many Glenpavians.
For the games, the airport has received an update, along with the train station, which is located near the athletes village. These and the network of main 61’ Roads are the easiest way of leaving and entering the city. Also highlighted on the map are venues, and places of culture within the city- often around these places you will see places to stay and to eat. Due to The previous stance on immigration and foreign travel, you will see a lot more Blue Bubble based eateries which host a range of native cultural dishes. These dishes include stews with seafood, grains and vegetables, Salted Beef in red wine, and fish in a tender tomato, garlic, ginger and herb sauce. 

Map of Kharventhin with major Places of Culture and Esferiad Venues.
Venues
Rano Aquatics Centre - Aquatics

Built for the Esferiad games, this new venue for Aquatics is part of the Enrichment program for young Glenpavians, and will be used for training and education purposes after the games.

The National Park is a focal point for Glenpavians to visit Kharventhin due to the range of camping grounds, hiking routes, as well as parts of the Reni river dedicated to canoeing and other outdoor water activities like fishing, and Violet Lake, where many fish and row. The city will be used with the river to host the Triathlon.
The National GKA Budo Dojo - Fencing, Judo, Karate, Taekwondo

The Glenpavia Karate Association set up this dojo for all Budo to perform seminars and competitions. As a dedicated space for these arts with large seating areas, Kharventhin decided the Dojo will be perfect. They have recently increased the seating as a gift for hosting the most events in Kharventhin during the games, as there is expectation of increased interest of what the dojo has to offer in the near future. 
Masina Marina - Sailing

Near the mouth of the Reni River, this Marina is popular with new international visitors and those who can afford a space on the spacious dock

Sunday 24th October 1421 - Häřtferdsierndeambeu Esferied Kęmiti Preview of the II Summer Esferiad (Quoriv & Karventhin)

Jeremy Clarkson: Hello and welcome to what is the 2nd time you've seen the Häřtferdsierndeambeu Esferied Kęmiti do news because we aren't going to let some news station or the government do the reporting. Yes, we know we are the olympic committee themselves but our track record for reliable pro-H&J reporting (yes, they can go hand-in-hand) is like that of a 5 star hotel. So everything is fine on the accuracy end. Now where were we... oh yes. Let us begin from the top.
Richard Hammond: Yes we shall.
Jeremy Clarkson: Wha- Hammond!
Richard Hammond: Hello & welcome, we are Hertfordshire & Jammbo's Olympic Committee, let us introduce ourselves. We are your hosts Clarkson, Hammond & May. Even though we are competing in the Esferiad too, we also do the reporting alongside our editor John Kramer.
John Kramer: We hope you appreciate the effort put into this and indeed the life you live, otherwise you might find yourself valuing your life just that much more.
Richard Hammond: John, we aren't putting people into your karmic death traps.
John Kramer: The sinners of society need to learn somehow.

A picture of the three hosts of coverage of Hertfordshire & Jammbo's efforts at Summer Esferiad II. John Kramer, the editor, is not pictured. He said he had to sort something out.
Richard Hammond: Anyway, you join us on Lavender Island, just off the north-east coast of our home continent Andolia so this is far closer to home than the first Esferiad which took place all the way up in St. Josalyn, Cambria. Lavender Island is home to the nations of Blue Bubble...
James May: It's called Glenpavia, Richard.
Richard Hammond: ...and Giovanniland.
Jeremy Clarkson: Regardless of their name, we have brought in 150 official entrants, though the real number thanks to team activities is higher than that.
James May: Quoriv in Giovanniland & Karventhin in Glenpavia are the two host cities in this joint effort by two Auran nations who have a long & storied history with each other. But I'm sure they can explain it all themselves.
Jeremy Clarkson: If you will recall at the first Summer Esferiad, we performed much better than anyone was expecting, ranking as the third best nation that time round.
Richard Hammond: That's right. The only two able to perform on a superior level to us and it was a narrow margin were Cambria & their national brothers Nieubasria, the Astor duo. I also seem to recall that I won gold in lightweight boxing back then.
James May: So you'll be attempting to defend your title?
Richard Hammond: Yep!
James May: And what if you fail?
Jeremy Clarkson: He'll die of shame and I'll die laughing.
Richard Hammond: Heheh, yeah.
Jeremy Clarkson: Well unfortunately we don't have time to show you the roster just yet, but we are working to provide the highest quality roster sheet we can muster.
James May: Which, considering it's us three, isn't really the highest standard.
Jeremy Clarkson: No you're right, I mean, in the eyes of somewhere like Saint Mark or another similarly high brow nation, our version of highest quality is their version of peasantry.
Richard Hammond: Everything is peasantry to them!
James May: Well, that's not strictly true but...
Jeremy Clarkson: Sorry James, we don't have enough time for one of your lectures so we'll end it there. Thank you so much for watching and, er, goodnight!
Richard Hammond: Er, Jeremy, where's John?

A small squeaking can be heard in the distance, just outside the HNJEK headquarters at the outside lavatory.
Billy: I want to play a game. [spoken in the distance]
Richard Hammond: Oh no.
James May: I'll go sort it out.
Richard Hammond: Has Kramer seriously gone and put opposition athletes, or even our own, into one of his traps?
Jeremy Clarkson: Maybe it's unrelated to him, although that would not surprise me given his twisted sense of justice.
Richard Hammond: I've just had a thought, what if Marcarius or one of his aides...
Jeremy Clarkson: Butlers & maids.
Richard Hammond: Yeah, butlers & maids.
James May: Rich poncey pillocks.
Jeremy Clarkson: Oh, you're back. Any luck?
John Kramer: Alright, I've de-activated Billy. I don't condone putting innocent people into my traps. That is akin to murder.
James May: Like that's going to reassure everyone.
Jeremy Clarkson: Back to the aristocrat, I very much doubt that would be possible, that man's going to have the highest level security imaginable. Now if I might make a suggestion... run!
Richard Hammond: Running away. Disclaimer, we weren't involved in whatever John was doing!
 
Well, that debacle happened. We hope to see you lot again soon for more insulting of other nations and general cocking about. In the meantime, let us send off in the usual fashion. Some say our athletes have been found as far north as Avaratra, and that we have a full size Esferiad logo on an Esferiad logo. All we know is, we are the HNJEK. Goodbye!
         
 

Giovannilandian Esferiad Report - 10th Day
16 Gold - 13 Silver - 13 Bronze
Good morning Giovanniland! I am Karlo Nakamura-Edrense, the host of the Giovannilandian Esferiad Report. There's lot to talk about today, especially since Giovanniland continues its streak of earning many medals and today has brought two golds, one silver and one bronze, staying at the top of all medal rankings. Of course, we'll review the events of yesterday and talk about the upcoming ones, starting with Kharventhin.
There were few events with Giovannilandian participation in Kharventhin, only two team events. In the Matchday 5 of Indoor Volleyball, Giovanniland showed a strong performance against Fhaengshia and contines unbeaten at the top of Group B. As for the gold medal match of Water Polo, Giovanniland beat Hertfordshire and Jammbo with a score of 11-6, bringing the first gold from a team sport. It's worth noting Giovanniland got many of its seven medals of the I Summer Esferiad in team sports, and continues to perform well at them in home soil, so let's hope the teams bring home many more medals!
It was a more eventful in Quorivo, with Giovanniland getting three medals in these events. The gold came from the Marathon, specifically from Klementine Ulpia, who finished the run after two hours, eleven minutes and eight seconds, while Katia Terra finished 5th and Sergio Maldonato-Violeta finished 6th. In the Javelin Throw, athletes Raffella Ulisse Tavallano, Augusto Glendoriani, and Sebastiano Remedio all competed, with Augusto achieving 3rd place and a bronze medal, as Raffella and Sebastiano finished 6th and 7th respectively. The other athletics events was Gymnastics Uneven Bars featuring Lukiano Annabella-Tappone, Sollenne Sousa Kandido, Silvana Mantovani, Isayas Delliaro-Varrutio, and Romeo Saverri-Mattei; only Isaias reached the final but ended 6th of 8 athletes.
The Badminton Singles had its first stage take place today, and the good news for Giovanniland is that Lorena Sulimano and Kesar Kuriato-Giakini have both qualified for the quarterfinals! Kyra Sonserina also participated, but did not get past group stage. In team sports, the last matchdays for Handball and Lacrosse, and Giovanniland won against United Adaikes in both, namely with scores of 31-24 and 18-5. 
Furthermore the Field Hockey, Football, and Rugby Sevens matches all resulted in wins for Giovanniland as well: 2-0 against Dalimbar, 3-0 against Tupmonia, and 33-7 against Fhaengshia respectively! Last but not least, the Giovannilandian Basketball faced Cambria in the gold medal match—it was a very close game, but our team eventually lost 67-84 to the Cambrians, with strong performances on both sides nevertheless.
All in all, we can say that the 10th day was a pretty good one for our nation! Giovanniland continues on the lead in both gold and total medal rankings. Our neighbors Blue Bubble remain in second for total medals (32), although they have been surpassed in Nieubasria by gold medals, Blue Bubble with 10 and Nieubasria with 11 specifically. Other strong teams have been Hertfordshire and Jammbo, with 7 golds and 18 medals; and Cambria, with 5 golds and 15 medals. Anyways, since we're 2/3 of the way in the Esferiad, the Giovannilandian Esferiad Report has decided to update its table of each continent's performance, sorted by gold medals, and with parentheses indicating medals gained since our previous census:
Nation Gold Silver Bronze Total Aura Giovanniland 16 (+9) 13 (+8) 13 (+6) 42 (+23) Blue Bubble 10 (+3) 14 (+3) 8 (+1) 32 (+7) Orandia 2 (+1) 0 5 (+4) 7 (+5) Saint Mark 1 5 (+3) 5 11 (+3) Santos-Dominius 1 1 (+1) 2 (+1) 4 (+2) Arifiyyah 0 0 0 0 Dilber 0 0 0 0 Fuentana 0 0 0 0 Aura 30 (+13) 33 (+15) 33 (+12) 96 (+40) Andolia Hertfordshire and Jammbo 7 (+1) 5 (+2) 6 (+2) 18 (+5) Larxia 3 (+1) 0 6 (+3) 9 (+4) Fhaengshia 1 (+1) 0 0 1 (+1) Tupmonia 0 0 1 (+1) 1 (+1) Nagaraningrad 0 0 0 0 Andolia 11 (+3) 5 (+2) 13 (+6) 29 (+11) Polaris Nieubasria 11 (+7) 12 (+6) 7 (+4) 30 (+17) Tara and Cambray 5 (+3) 7 (+4) 3 (+2) 15 (+9) Fujai 1 1 (+1) 1 (+1) 3 (+2) Teralyon 0 1 0 1 United Adaikes 0 0 2 (+1) 2 (+1) Dalimbar 0 0 0 0 Polaris 17 (+10) 21 (+11) 13 (+8) 51 (+29) Total Aura 30 (+13) 33 (+15) 33 (+12) 96 (+40) Polaris 17 (+10) 21 (+11) 13 (+8) 51 (+29) Andolia 11 (+3) 5 (+2) 13 (+6) 29 (+11) Doll Guldur 0 0 0 0 Esferos 58 (+26) 59 (+28) 59 (+26) 176 (+80) As we can see, Aura continues to dominate all rankings, with over half of both gold (54.55%) and total (51.72%) of awarded medals going to Auran athletes. It also earned exactly half of all medals given since our last review. Polaris has advanced to second, spearheaded by the neighbor nations of Nieubasria and Cambria, and built a fair lead over Andolia—the two continents have 17 and 11 gold medals, and 51 and 29 total medals respectively.
Notably, competing nations Fhaengshia and Tupmonia have earned their first medal in the last 5 days as well, so congratulations to them! We also have something new, namely an all-time medal ranking, sorted by gold medals too. Note that nations not participating in the II Summer Esferiad are marked in italics, while those making their international Esferic debut this edition are marked with an asterisk. Here we go!
Rank Nation Gold Silver Bronze Total 1 Nieubasria 22 23 14 59 2 Giovanniland 17 17 15 49 3 Hertfordshire and Jammbo 15 16 15 46 4 Tara and Cambray 12 15 18 45 5 Blue Bubble* 10 14 8 32 6 Saint Mark 9 5 6 20 7 Novasamita 8 1 2 11 8 Zoran 7 6 12 25 9 Fujai 5 9 6 20 10 Teralyon 5 7 2 14 11 Bobki 5 0 1 6 12 Marble Mallorca 4 3 3 10 13 Larxia 3 1 10 14 14 Irador 2 5 3 10 15 Orandia* 2 0 5 7 16 Commonwealth of Victoria 1 3 2 6 17 Fuentana 1 2 2 5 18 Santos-Dominius* 1 1 2 4 19 Yorubrailia 1 1 0 2 20 Fhaengshia* 1 0 0 1 21 Reçueçn 0 4 2 6 22 United Adaikes* 0 0 2 2 23 Tupmonia* 0 0 1 1 24 Arifiyyah* 0 0 0 0 25 Dalimbar* 0 0 0 0 26 Dilber* 0 0 0 0 27 Nagaraningrad* 0 0 0 0 Continents 1 Aura 54 49 53 156 2 Polaris 44 58 44 146 3 Andolia 21 22 29 72 4 Doll Guldur 12 4 5 21 Total 131 133 131 395 In the individual all-time rankings, it can be seen that the top 5 countries—Nieubasria, Giovanniland, Hertfordshire and Jammbo, Tara and Cambray, and Blue Bubble—have all had over 10 gold medals so far across both editions, with the 2nd to 4th countries pretty close to each other. Nieubasria, Hertfordshire and Jammbo, Tara and Cambray all have had good performances in both Esferiads so far, while for Giovanniland, who sent a small delegation last time, most medals have been earned during the current Esferiad. Finally, closing the top 5, we have Blue Bubble, that has made an awesome debut in the Esferiad this year.
As for continent rankings, it can be seen that Aura and Polaris are the sporting powerhouses of Esferos. Polaris dominated the I Summer Esferiad of Saint-Josalyn, while Aura has been dominating the II Summer Esferiad of Quorivo and Kharventhin, and in the end the two performances of each almost even out—Aura and Polaris only have a difference of 10 in both gold and total medals. Home advantage could also be seen as a factor, especially since the continent hosting each Esferiad has been the one prevailing in that edition, although two events is a pretty small sample. In third comes Andolia, with a decent amount of 21 gold medals and 72 total, while in last comes Doll Guldur, from which two countries participated in the I Summer Esferiad (earning 12 gold and 21 total medals) but none in the second.
Following these statistics, it's now time to talk about future events, and there are many of them tomorrow! In Kharventhin, Giovannilandian athletes will only appear in the Matchday 6 of Indoor Volleyball, as the nation did not enter any athlete for the Canoe-2 1000 m Sprint, Karate Kumite and Fencing Foil events. Meanwhile, the events in Quorivo will be:
Track Team All-Arounds and Field Team All-Arounds featuring all Giovannilandian participants of athletic events;
BMX Cycling featuring Paloma Alboquerko, Stefano Lavandula-Quorivo, and Liana Vagellio; 
Finals of Badminton Singles featuring Lorena Sulimano and Kesar Kuriato-Giakini;
Gymnastics Parallel Bars featuring Lukiano Annabella-Tappone, Sollenne Sousa Kandido, Silvana Mantovani, Isayas Delliaro-Varrutio, and Romeo Saverri-Mattei;
Semifinals of Handball, Semifinals of Lacrosse, Matchday 5 of Field Hockey, Matchday 5 of Football, and Matchday 5 of Rugby Sevens (team events);
That is the schedule for the eleventh day of Esferic events! See you tomorrow for another report.

FHAENGSHIA TAHDAONI AE ESFAERIADH
Fhaengshia Esferiad Committee

From the grounds of the Grand Esferic Stadium in Downtown Quoriv, the same stadium where the whole of Esferos watched all the competing athletes in the grand opening ceremony, the Fhaengshian 4x100m Relay Run team got the nation onto the leaderboards. After days of nail-biting misses and disheartening mistakes and failures, the team of Laerets, Eshiwne, Mihrten and Cedroeh won not only a place on the podium, but are bringing back gold for the most gilt republic.
Laerets and Eshiwne had both suffered a lapse of concentration in the individual heats missing out on advancing, Mihrten had closely missed qualifying for the finals in the 110m hurdles which is his preferred event to the 100m run, and Cedroeh did the best of the delegation, but just missed qualifying in the individual heats. Together though, they made a resilient team which saw the fruits of their training together in the tropical heat.

DAY TEN–HEADLINES
- In the marathon, Guy Vaugeois finishes with a time of 2:18.26, coming in tenth.
- Yvette Ardouin over-extends herself in the first leg of the race, and does not finish.

COMMENTARY
"Ladies, gents, and all the rest, it's time for another live report from the Esferiad! As always, I am your host, Lex Lascar. Here tonight with me are some very lovely ladies, give it up for Prime Minister Queenie Astier... and Orandia's newest gold medalist, Sarah Michaelson!"
[The studio audience cheers, and the lights come up on Queenie and Sarah. Queenie is nicely dressed, but Sarah wears the trademark bright-blue tracksuit of an Orandian athlete. The gold medal she earned is around her neck.]
"Now, it's been quite a long road for Sarah here to get to the Esferiad. Could you tell me a little more about your journey here, Sarah?"
Sarah: "I almost didn't make it here. The original plan was that Lina Doone would be going, but right before everything was finalized, she shattered her wrist. It was a car accident, and I felt very bad for her, but the one upside is, it let me compete in her place. I'm really glad to have this chance, and I really hope Lina is watching this so she knows I got Orandia the medal. We did it!" [She smiles, holding up the medal for the cameras to see. Lina is watching from her home in Pala, planning to text Sarah after the show with messages of congratulations.]
"Well, all things considered, I think a lot of people are happy to see you here, and even happier to see you atop the podium. Now, Queenie, I believe you had some words to say, too?"
Queenie: "Yes! Um, congratulations on winning gold for Orandia." [She and Sarah stand up and engage in a performatively awkward handshake, then a quick congratulatory hug.] "It's really nice to see our little nation doing so well here. I honestly did not think we'd get as many medals as we have. And both golds in field events! Truly unpredictable. [She sits back down with a small laugh.]
"I agree! It's definitely a refreshing sight to see so many Orandian athletes on the podium this year. But whether or not there will be more depends largely on the performance of our four gymnasts. Stay tuned for the latest predictions of their performances in future events!"
 
LOOKING AHEAD–DAY ELEVEN
- Track and field all-arounds take place.
- Match day six for the Orandian indoor volleyball team.
- Orandia's four gymnasts take to the parallel bars.
 

"Nice work with the foil yesterday, Paul!"
"Thank you, sir. I'm pleased that I was on the top of my game when it mattered the most."
"Your first round against Hadjivanor was close at first, but you really warmed up and had a great finish. Your match against Cook was even better. I hope this trend continues and you can bring home Gold again when you face Pham."
"It's too bad you weren't able to defeat Pham yourself, sir. I think you performed quite well. You just couldn't catch a break in the scoring."
"No, Pham was better yesterday, Paul. I wasn't at my best. My best would have won, though, and that's the frustrating part. Oh well. It's water under the bridge. It's up to you now, Paul. I believe you're Saint Mark's last chance for one more Gold in this Esferiad."
"I'll do my best."
"I know you will. Best of luck to you!"

A New Chapter in Tupmonian History
 
What a day for Tupmonia. Today marks the day that Tupmonia won its first medal ever in the II Esferiad. Joseph Niyazov won a bronze medal in Lightweight Boxing today. However, he lost in the semi-final round against Rachel Cordina (TCM) 12-4. 
We spoke to Joseph after the fight and he had this to say, “You know, this is a tough loss for me. Respect to Cordina, really a great fighter…I’m just happy to bring the first ever medal to Tupmonia. Hopefully in the future we will see more gold..” 
Tupmonia also took some wins in other sports. Tupmonia defeated Larxia in Indoor Volleyball to move their record up to 1-4. Tupmonia also took a thrilling victory in Handball against Cambria beating them 24-23, to move Tupmonia’s record up to 1-3.
On the other hand, Tupmonia took losses in Field Hockey and Football. 
This is a proud day in Tupmonian history, and hopefully there will be many more medals to come.

I'm really glad to have this chance, and I really hope Lina is watching this so she knows I got Orandia the medal. We did it!" [She smiles, holding up the medal for the cameras to see. Lina is watching from her home in Pala, planning to text Sarah after the show with messages of congratulations.]
"Well, all things considered, I think a lot of people are happy to see you here, and even happier to see you atop the podium. Now, Queenie, I believe you had some words to say, too?"
Queenie: "Yes! Um, congratulations on winning gold for Orandia." [She and Sarah stand up and engage in a performatively awkward handshake, then a quick congratulatory hug.] "It's really nice to see our little nation doing so well here. I honestly did not think we'd get as many medals as we have. And both golds in field events! Truly unpredictable. [She sits back down with a small laugh.]
"I agree! It's definitely a refreshing sight to see so many Orandian athletes on the podium this year. But whether or not there will be more depends largely on the performance of our four gymnasts. Stay tuned for the latest predictions of their performances in future events!"

COMMENTARY
"Another bronze win by the talented Roméo Azaïs! Because of him, Orandia is keeping pace with the big shots, like Giovanniland and Nieubasria. Now, to be a gymnast, you have to excel at every gymnastics event, and each one is another chance for a medal, so it's very easy for a good gymnast to walk away with multiple. Roméo already has two, after all, and maybe more to come. But don't let me tell you any more about a guy who's about to be out here himself. Ladies, gents, and all the rest, here is the man of the hour.
"Mr. Azaïs, how have the last few days been for you?"
Roméo: "Absolutely thrilling. [Grins] Although I haven't been doing much except working out and resting. Watching some other folks train. Coach says it's best not to do too much other stuff, even though the events are so spread out."
"Have you gotten to meet any of the other gymnasts yet?"
Roméo: "Not really. I'm not exactly sure how to approach them, so I've mostly stuck with the other Orandians. Jules and Nina are very encouraging. I had a moment with one of the other guys on the podium today, though. From Giovanniland, I'm pretty sure. We kinda looked, acknowledged each other, while they were playing the national anthem. I didn't get a chance to talk with him after."
"Speaking of the podium, is there anyone or any nation in particular you're watching out for?"
Roméo: "Nieubasria and Giovanniland, of course. If I had to pick one, I'd say Cooper Kinsleye. She beat me out of a silver today, and in training, she's done some of the most flawless routines I've ever seen in... ever. I definitely have to keep an eye on her."
"Thanks for answering those questions, Roméo. I won't keep you any longer from that training and resting. And speaking of training, up next, Jules Beaufils takes us through his workout routine! We're glad you tuned in!"
 
LOOKING AHEAD–DAY TEN
- Match day five for Orandia's indoor volleyball team.

- Lisa Zenik places 17th in the semifinals, with a score of 14.300. 
- Jules Beaufils places eighth in the finals, with a score of 13.150.

COMMENTARY
"I'm Lex Lascar, live at the Esferiad, bringing you some good news and some bad news. First piece of good news: Roméo Azaïs has earned us yet another bronze for his stunning floor routine. Let's check it out."
[A clip from Roméo's routine plays, set to upbeat, classical music. The studio audience cheers.]
"Incredible! Second piece of good news: Martin Garness is alive and well. According to the doctors at Kharventhin Teaching Hospital, his rotator cuff is fixable, and he'll be back in the pool well before the next Esferiad. And now for the less-than-good news, Orandia: our dear water polo team played their last game of the event today, losing to Cambria in the quarterfinals. As someone who's been watching them since the very start of the Esferiad, I am going to miss them. Let's take a look back at how far they've come in these past eight days."
[A slideshow plays, showing one photo after another of the Orandian water polo team in action, listing every win and loss along the way. It ends with a photo of the entire team posing for the camera, with big smiles on their faces, the person in the center holding a water polo ball. The image fades back to Lex, who is imitating one of the poses.]
"Lots and lots of memories there. I hope the team has had fun being here. I know I certainly have. Now, after the break, we'll hear from Roméo himself about his shiny new medal!"

1421 Domestic Football Season

Fujais Idrottsforbund (FIF)
Fujais Idrottsforbund is the federation of labor unions representing all sports players and workers in sports-associated industries. It is separate from the Fujansk government, but receives accreditation and financial and infrastructural support from it. Its structure includes clubs at the local level (e.g. a local sports club), which are constituents of fylke organizations, which are a part of the larger federation representing specific sports (e.g. Fujais Fotbollforbund for football), which are then members of FIF. FIF is a member of the Rhodoniad and OCTWPUS (Olympic Council of The West Pacific Union of Sports), and is Fujai's representative to the Olympic Council.
Fujais Fotbollforbund (FjFF)
Fujais Fotbollforbund is the governing body of football in Fujai and represents all players, related workers, and clubs in the country. It governs Fujai's league system, consisting of Fyrstserien, Annarserien, Tredjeserien, and the landsdel leagues. Fylke leagues and lower are organized by the the fylke organizations.

Interesting tidbits:
Hafstrand 07, one of the best supported clubs in the country, had a dreadful year, falling from 10th to 12th on the last matchday. You can bet they'll be out for blood in Annarserien next year. The four largest clubs continued their dominance, with Bruland, Trondsnes, Almoren, and Solbakken all finishing in the top five. AS Savigny-Bilten, off its merger of AS Savigny and Bilten FC a few years ago, charted one of its highest finishes yet. Both teams were founded in the early 1300s by Reçuecian immigrants.

Interesting tidbits:
Lindskrona and Ossen, relegated from Fyrstserien just last year topped the series to return to the top flight.

Interesting tidbits:
Everyone in the nation became Vaden fans over the course of the cup. In the first round, they defeated Keiserholde Tretønnar. In the second they stunned the country by defeating a big four team in one of the highest scoring matches we've seen in a while, going all the way to penalty kicks. In the next round, they played against similarly ranked Nore, soundly beating them and moving to the Kamp. They faced two top flight teams, one of which a big four, and made it to the final. That, however, was where their cinderella story ended, as they lost to Rønnhavn by one penalty kick. Solbakken, one of the big four and last year's cup champions, were removed in the first round in a no holds barred match with local Keiserholde rivals and fellow big four team, Bruland, who were removed in the Kamp by the Annarserien side Vaden.

Giovannilandian Esferiad Report - 9th Day
14 Gold - 12 Silver - 12 Bronze
Hello again, Giovannilandians! I am Karlo Nakamura-Edrense, the host of the Giovannilandian Esferiad Report. Today I'll talk about the results in the 9th day of Esferic events and Giovannilandian highlights, and in fact, there were many last day as Giovanniland secured two of each medal today, for a total of 38 across the entire events. We'll first talk about yesterday's events in Kharventhin!
The final matches of Freestyle Wrestling featured Gilmar Opiternio-Sousa, Ulisse Yanseno, and Silvia Kolumella. Gilmar defeated Serlia to earn a place in the final, while Ulisse was defeated by Florentino Luis from Larxia in the other semifinal, who then also defeated Gilmar in the final. Luckily, Serlia and Ulisse both won their matches in the repechage bracket, meaning that they each got a bronze medal while Gilmar achieved silver.
Meanwhile, in the semifinals of Water Polo our team defeated the Larxians 8-5 and will now face Hertfordshire and Jammbo in the final, while the Indoor Volleyball team won three sets to one against Tupmonia and continues undefeated at the top of Group B. Those were all the events that happened in Kharventhin with Giovannilandian participation, but there were of course many more in Quorivo!
In the Hammer Throw event, athletes Guillermo Vindemia-Tamudio, Karlo Kadrino-Kosta, and Emilio Mariano-Visellio all participated. They qualified for the finals and then finished 1st, 2nd and 4th respectively, with Guillermo setting a new Esferic record and the others all breaking the previous one as well, a strong Giovannilandian performance. As for the Gymnastics Balance Beam, it featured Lukiano Annabella-Tappone, Sollenne Sousa Kandido, Silvana Mantovani, Isayas Delliaro-Varrutio, and Romeo Saverri-Mattei. Isayas and Romeo advanced to the final, placing 1st and 6th respectively and earning the nation another gold medal.
Meanwhile, team events also happened in Quorivo. Wins came for Giovanniland in Basketball, in which our team defeatd Nieubasria 79-58 in the semifinals and will now face Cambria in the gold medal match, and in Matchday 3 of Field Hockey, with our team winning 3-1 against Cambria. Losses also happened, however, for example 0-1 to Fujai in Football and 17-21 to Dalimbar in Rugby Sevens. Last but not least, the Handball and Lacrosse teams both had byes.
After the quick retrospective, it's now time to talk about upcoming events! In Kharventhin, Giovannilandian athletes will only appear in the Matchday 5 of Indoor Volleyball and the Final of Water Polo, as the nation did not enter any athlete for the Fencing Foil and Boxing Lightweight events will also happen. Meanwhile, the events in Quorivo will be:
Marathon featuring Katia Terra, Klementine Ulpia, and Sergio Maldonato-Violeta;
Javelin Throw featuring Raffella Ulisse Tavallano, Augusto Glendoriani, and Sebastiano Remedio;
Stage 1 of Badminton Singles featuring Lorena Sulimano, Kesar Kuriato-Giakini, and Kyra Sonserina;
Gymnastics Uneven Bars featuring Lukiano Annabella-Tappone, Sollenne Sousa Kandido, Silvana Mantovani, Isayas Delliaro-Varrutio, and Romeo Saverri-Mattei;
Final of Basketball, Matchday 6 of Handball, Matchday 6 of Lacrosse, Matchday 4 of Field Hockey, Matchday 4 of Football, and Matchday 4 of Rugby Sevens (team events);
That is the schedule for the tenth day of Esferic events! You can watch them on the channels 201 to 210, and for members of our monthly subscription, we also have recordings in our website sportsreport.com.gl/esferiad/ii/events if one isn't able to check them live. See you tomorrow for another report!
