Gentium Games

The **Gentium Games** (*Yatorobic: Гентюм Жукми*), otherwise known as the **International Sports Competition** (*Kanji: 国際スポーツ競技*) are the biggest international sporting competition in the Zayats world.

## Background

The Gentium Games are the franchise's direct equivalent to the Olympic Games, both being leading international sporting events featuring sports competitions in which thousands of athletes from around the world participate in a variety of competitions.

Summer events include tennis, archery, rugby, track and field, artistic swimming, wrestling, weightlifting and gymnastics.

Winter events include alpine snowboarding, boardercross, figure skating, ice hockey, slalom, slopestyle and speed skating.

## 2017 Summer Games

The 2017 Summer Gentium Games took place in Tokyo, Japan, and are the main setting of the Gekijō-ban Kousagi Zayats: Kokusai Sports Kyōgi anime movie.

This was the Great Land's first participation in any Gentium Games, ambassed by Julius Kashner. The event was newscasted by three announcers: two males, and one female.

### Opening Ceremony

The opening ceremony started at sunset, with a LED sign welcoming the fans in different languages.

When night fell, the Head of State and president of the International Gentium Committee walked in, followed by the Japanese national anthem playing.

Afterwards, the Parade of Nations took off, with the countries being read out by the female announcer. Halfway through the parade, Zayats snuck into the Great Land's athletes and unsuspectedly ran into the scaffold where the Head of State and IGC president were standing. When Julius walked in to give his official speech, Zayats stepped in and took the microphone.

First singing the Great Land's national anthem, Zayats immediately broke into a full-on musical number, further showcasing his excitement as he sang "We're Finally Here" and culminating his performance by yelling "***LET'S GET THESE GAMES STARTED!!!***".
