Yanagi-chan did very well in both the dance and hat elements, but a surprise ruling by the judges which scaled the height element by the height of the contestant left our diminutive dancer out of contention. Congratulations meanwhile to Lord Limbo from Esselldee and Jeff Bendman from Drummond & Elmlsey, who both achieved bronze medals.

Oops - identity of one of the athletes mentioned below already revealed ![]() Without further ado: Our fourth report from the games is loaded with surprise and fun, with Canada, once again, noted for sporting as well as incidental interest. We have two Canadian athletes taking out bronze!
The proof is in the pudding! ![]() Gold was taken out by Maas Tricht from Blaat with a stunning 30 points: Here is a most remarkable picture of the athlete at work: ![]()
Silver went to:

Individual Sailing-Boat Orienteering This may be the most challenging of our events. Sailboat Captains must circumnavigate an orienteering course around Taco Island in the quickest time possible. For no good reason, but interestingly, it will have a “running” start, beginning inside the Taco Tiki Bar. At the starter’s gun, each Captain must dash from their barstools, down the beach to their anchored sailboats, and then navigate their way around or through various obstacles at sea, back to the starting dock, and finally up the beach to their starting barstools in the Taco Tiki Bar. "Under The Sea” Spear Gunning Here, scuba divers from all participating Nations will maneuver their way through Shipwreck Reef and spear gun various targets for points. Prized targets will range from the highly sought after & scrumptious “Blue Water Bacon Fish”, to the poisonous and highly ‘ouch!’-producing “Schnitzel-Like Smelling Algae Plant”. However…Beware! Thar be monsters, traps, and many sharp pointy things in them thar corals, as well! Rock Pool Forage and Cook Off This is primarily a culinary competition. Chefs from each Nation must search through rock pools, and forage under the rocks, to find mouth-watering ingredients to cook a delicious meal for the Judges. "Spice My World” Cocktail Making and Judges’ Toast The culminating event of the Islander’s Beach Championship is one requiring Mixologists to create a unique cocktail - with an extra kick – again, for the judges’ palates. Each concoction should capture the spirit of these Islander games. They should also strive to provide a memorable beverage with which to remember each participating Nation, until we all meet in friendship once again, in the next inter-regional games. However, the Chefs will also be graded on the quality of a befitting toast they make to the Judges on the subject of how fairly and magnificently the Judges have carried out their difficult tasks during the games. If you have any pics of your athletes for any of the above - or a story to tell about your athletes - post for you in this thread: The Islanders Beach Championship: Beachcombers Bleachers It might lead to a commentary from Barry, Barry's Aide, the Announcer or Bullseye Betty in the official thread: The Islander's Beach Championship: Events and Scores .....arguably more fun than the actual medals! |

Scandalous allegations of bribery and a protest lodged with regard a discriminatory ruling that favours the attitudinally challenged, have marred the previously good sportsmanship mood of the Islanders Beach Championship this month. Ananke has pointed an accusing finger at our own Drummond and Elmsley, and The Candy Lane of XKI, saying either they have been doped or else one of the judges (here Ananke is caught directing an insinuating glance at Mortimer G. Hornsnapple III - the XKI judge) is accepting bribes. ![]() Mortimer G. Hornsnapple III Almonaster formally presented the following:
Ambassador from Canada to XKI ruffled feathers further by publically coming out in support of the above protest on behalf of Devimanian height minimist and Silly Hat Limbo Competition athletic entrant, Lady Corner, who complained bitterly about our height centred culture, where products in supermarkets cannot be reached by height minimists like herself. ![]() A disgruntled Lady Corner There is no questioning the handling interest in the vessel sailed in the event by Neuvan athlete Hotanken Valero ![]() Nor the quality of Parkplacean skipper and athlete Iona Headstay: ![]() However, despite this, remarkably Canada did not score any medals in the “Individual Sailing-Boat Orienteering” event. All Canadian entrants might as well have been of the same calibre as unfortunate Deviamanian, Willy Knot: ![]() So without any further ado: Individual Sailing-Boat Orienteering went to: Bronze: Sue Lu-Pris from Picos Elissa de Los Tres Valles Silver: Ro Gainer from Tierra de Madre Gold: Roger Smith from Richard In keeping with the current down turn in sportsmanship morale at the Islanders Beach Championship, the Individual Sailing-Boat Orienteering Event opened with a minimum of sportsmanlike decorum.

^Yup! Well done to Frederick St. John of Stormaen for winning bronze, and Laurie Lasso of Esselldee for winning gold in the "Under The Sea” Spear Gunning And a round of applause for two of our Ambassador nationsfor scoring for their regions in this event: Stephan Longbreath from Celestial Maple won gold! Richard Fire from Aersoldorf won bronze. Stephan Longbreath (Celestial Maple) and Laurie Lasso (Esselldee) ![]() ParrrTay may not have scored a medal this time, but she sure made us proud:
The fifth report from the games left us wondering about the rioting in the streets, with sources accusing judges of unfair and often dubious scoring ![]() Rioting has since been temporarily quelled:
It appears that the Delegate for 10000 Islands, Markanite has made an important statement about the IBC urging
![]() ^ The accused Solskin writes: What did you see, Yolanda dear Out in the deep blue sea? What made you gape with awe, and cheer, what made you smile and squee? ![]() A trap was laid most devilish by a large swarm of jellyfish. ![]() I made a long detour and fled the sting ray. Careful where you tread! ![]() There loomed the dreaded lion’s mane of Sherlock Holmes’ story fame. ![]() I saw, mischievous like an imp, peek from the sand the tiny shrimp. ![]() Exchanged a silent wave, a shy reclusive octopus and I. ![]() These beings made me smile and cheer. They sealed my next endeavour. I shall lay down harpoon and spear and dive with camera ever.

We have another medal, this time silver, of Almonaster's Shiryou Cocinero. Shiryou served up one of the tastiest dishes of the day, a Spiced Clam and Pufferfish Pie. !!!!Sharing silver with Shiryou Cocinero is Ludmila Meyer from Galicia Volhynia. The bronze went to: Aleshanee Qalataqa from Indorphinea Vivian Woodfern from New Ecopia Chef Durkheim from HumanSanity Chef Monty Haisnick from Picos Elissa de Los Tres Valles Kathrik Velaboose from Deep South Borland Patti Page from South Titania Gold went to: Timofey Sakharov from Tim-Opolis ![]() Andrea Jackson from Chevaux de Frise ![]() And in further fun news for Canada:
![]() All three male judges have gone missing, for futher detail, don’t forget to view the events thread. Our sources suggest their absence has heralded an era of peace and harmony at the games today: ![]() Even romance is being coddled on the Sandy shores of XKI
![]()
In further gobsmacking news, it is surprising New Texas didn’t win medal given the unique qualities of the team of cooky cookers brought to the games. Iron Chef Morimoto has proves hs is a great fisherman! ![]() One of the specialties: ![]() Sometimes Morimoto is acused of being part-Sushi. This candid caught by some papparazzi seems to bear it out! ![]() Iron Chef Sakai presents his Mysterious & Yummy Mystery Box! ![]() Iron Chef Chen Kenichi, always the playful one, expertly prepares Adorable Rice Pandas to the delight of young and old alike! ![]() And our own ambassador Celestial Maple’s athlete Dr (Kimi El Salvador Del Espernza Chovago) Noodle entered the event, but probably disappeared in a puff of steam ![]() And here again are the links for further detail The Islander's Beach Championship: Events and Scores And The Islanders Beach Championship: Beachcombers Bleachers |
