146th Hunger Games

The 146th Hunger Games were the 146th Annual Hunger Games and the 71st Games following the Second Rebellion. These Games took place 21 years after Bleeding Hearts and 4 years before Ultimate Crown.
The 146th Games were won by Cyrus Baldwin, the male tribute from District 5. Cyrus was eighteen years old at the time of the Games; he was the first Victor from District 5 in twenty years, he was the last tribute from District 5 to ever win the Hunger Games. Cyrus was known after his Games to be very intelligent, so it is likely that he used this trait to his advantage in the Arena.
The 146th Games are mentioned in passing by Soren Murdock during Hunger Games: Ultimate Crown. This occurs after he finds Larkin Winters nearly dead in the Arena during the 150th Hunger Games. Soren remembers the 146th Games as the last time he mentored. They were also Larkin's last mentoring year and the only time Daphne Flamsteed was a mentor.
Soren only mentions a few details of the Games, but he mentions that his tribute, Darius, aligned with Larkin's tribute from District 10 and his District partner. Soren and Larkin's tributes lasted until the very end before Darius killed his ally, thinking that they were the last two tributes. However, Cyrus Baldwin was hiding nearby and quickly ambushed Darius, becoming the Victor.
The ending of these Games became one of the most famous moments in the Capitol due to its dramatic nature. Cyrus enjoyed massive popularity in the Capitol as a result.
