After on field glitches this morning with the track lighting, warm ups will again be scheduled. The glitch, caused by a faulty timer code, sent athlete's warming up in complete darkness this morning.

Fortunately, no athlete's were injured when this happened, and Simlympics officials state that the issue has been resolved.



Excitement has finally died down after today's competition at Riverside Stadium after the Middle Distance competitions.

Phoenioa lead the event, running for gold, after a narrow win against Normandy. Also making highlights is the photofinish between Olympus and Normandy that took nearly 20 mins to verify.



Also taking place today, Polo at Qualtiy Hill. The country of Solomon also placed gold in the unusually warm weather this afternoon. However, it nearly lost its medal in a tough fight with Silesia.
