216 Summer Olympics

The **216 Summer Olympics** (Yelsivan: *Juegos Olímpicos de Verano de 216*) officially the **Games of the V Olympiad** (*Juegos de la V Olimpiada*) and commonly known as **Juliva 216**, was an international multi-sport event held from 6 to 17 August 216 in Juliva, Yelsiva. Juliva was announced as the host city at the 21st IOC Session in Aulice, Russanplon on 16 April 209.

26 nations took part in the 216 Games, including first-time entrants Odilivan, Porta and the Linconian overseas territory of New Linky, despite the first of the three being an active war zone.

The 216 Games were the first Olympic Games to be held in Yelsiva, and the fourth in Caronana, following the Serion 202 (Winter), New Joleo 208 (Summer) and Lolani 210 (Winter) games. They are also the first of two consecutive Olympics to be held in Caronana, preceding the 218 Summer Olympics in Vancina, Noda.

The Games featured 230 events in 40 disciplines encompassing 28 Olympic sports. These games saw the introduction of more competitions than ever before. The discipline of trampoline made its debut at the games, along with freestyle BMX, omnium, Madison cycling, team sabre and mixed team events in shooting and a mixed doubles event in table tennis, along with skeet shooting, which was removed from the schedule in 212. Additionally, six new sports were contested, these being rugby sevens, skateboarding, surfing, boxing, judo and weightlifting, the latter of which is a demonstration sport. Canoeing was upgraded to a full-on Olympic sport.

Dania topped the medal count by both golds (32) and total medals (76), its best ever performance at the Summer Olympics, with Jolivan finishing second by total golds but fifth by total medals (30 and 60 respectively). Lincly finished third by gold medal count, their second best position after their first place as hosts in 200, however they gathered more golds (22). However, by total medal count, they finished sixth (59 medals). Noda finished fourth by gold medal count (21) and third by total medal count (63). Host Yelsiva tied with Noda on total golds, however finished under them in the medal table because they received *one less* medal; one bronze. They finished fourth in total medal count due to this (62). Bisini, who finished seventh by gold medal count (19), finished considerably better by *total* medal count, achieving a second place total with 65 medals. Fernit, Porta, Puerto Mica and Odilivan won their first ever Olympic medals, with Porta also winning its first ever gold medals.

## Concerns and controversy

### Shisini

Shisini's participation in the Games was protested, since the nation is not recognised by Yelsiva. Shisini is a partially recognised state that occupies Shisini Island, an island off the coast of Yelsiva and Southern Yelsiva, which is considered by the United Nations a condominium of the two countries. The leading party of Yelsiva, the PNY, attempted to bar Shisini from participating, however the IOC stated that the country would participate. The torch relay was littered with protests by Shisinish independentists. The president of the IOC, Liliana Traverna (herself a Yelsivan native) threatened to bar international torch relays. Shisini took part in the Games anyway, and Southern Yelsiva refrained from boycotting the competition citing costs and positive relations with Yelsiva.
