97th Hunger Games

The 97th Hunger Games were the 97th Annual Hunger Games and the 22nd Games following the Second Rebellion. These Games took place 21 years after Rising From the Ashes and 4 years before Twin Snakes.
The 97th Games were won by Tiberius Howell, the male tribute from District 2. Tiberius was seventeen years old at the time of the Games; Tiberius' Victory marked District 2's third Victory in a span of six years. This record was never beaten; District 7 and District 4 both would eventually gain three Victors in a seven-year span. Tiberius' Victory also marked the second back-to-back Victory for one District (only Bruno Ford and James Whitlock previously achieved this feat for District 3).
Tiberius was mentored by Titania Firestone in the Games; this once again marked the second (and final) time that a Victor went on to mentor the Victor of the following Games, after Bruno Ford mentored James Whitlock in the 86th Hunger Games.
Notably, the 97th Games marked the sixth year that The Selection Ceremony was in place in District 8, as mentioned in Twin Snakes. Through this process, orphans were reaped from District 8 in exchange for payments that kept the orphanages open. It is assumed that neither of the Reaped orphans were successful in the 97th Games.
The events of the 97th Games are currently unknown.
