94th Hunger Games

The 94th Hunger Games were the 94th Annual Hunger Games and the 19th Games following the Second Rebellion. These Games took place 18 years after Rising From the Ashes and 7 years before Twin Snakes.
The 94th Games were won by Rafael Martinez, the male tribute from District 8. Rafael was eighteen years old at the time of the Games, and he was the first Victor from District 8 in 17 years. Coincidentally, Rafael was the second Victor from District 8 to win the Games following a Victor from District 4, as Georgina Burgess had won the Games one year prior; similarly, Ramona Hatcher won the Games one year after Griff Cohen. Rafael was mentored by Ramona in the 94th Games.
Most of the events of the 94th Games are not currently known. The Games are mentioned by Rochelle Carrillo in Twin Snakes, but only briefly; she only mentions that eventual victor Rafael Martinez fought hard to win the Games, and he was scarred afterward. She also mentions that Rafael was overlooked at the time of the Games, as the broadcasters of the Games didn't even mention him until halfway through the Games.
Notably, the 94th Games marked the third year that The Selection Ceremony was in place in District 8. Through this process, orphans were reaped from District 8 in exchange for payments that kept the orphanages open. Rafael Martinez was the first of these orphans to win the Games, and one of the only ones to be successful. He would be followed by Rochelle Carrillo.
