Participating NOCs	36
Opening ceremony	November 21, 2006 (OOC)

The II Olympic Winter Games was a multi-sport event celebrated in Keto, Unified Capitalizt States. Jasīʼyūn was the host national Olympic committee, and this was the second time that the Olympics were held in Paripana. Notably, Capitalizt SLANI declared they did not want to compete with Jasi'yun within the UCS, and sent a delegation composed only of silver-medal winners from the previous Winter Olympics in Aeropag.

Anastasiania won the most gold medals and total medals. Maineiacs defeated Kelssek in a shootout to win the men's ice hockey gold in a match that ended 2-2 after overtime.

The Games

Day 1

• Anastasiania won the first gold medal of the Games: Jörgen Sundlund in men's speed skating. In alpine skiing, the men's downhill was won by Alekson Strosfyor (Noremark). Evelyn Meier (Mikitivity) set a new track record in the women's luge singles. Kelssek's snowboarders took the top three qualification spots in men's halfpipe. Linda Uosh (Ariddia) broke her own record to win the women's 3000m speed skating gold. Angela Neubauer (Mikitivity) won bronze in the women's moguls, despite being a professional snow surveyer rather than freestyle skiier.

Day 2

• The Maineiacs Olympic Committee raised a protest over the disqualification of their women's short track relay team, claiming that Regina Franklin was the victim of a trip rather than the instigator. Cafundéu won two medals with Bruna Avarel winning gold in ski jumping and Fernanda Merengue in freestyle skiing. Juliette Wilson (Wentland) added a gold medal in women's luge to her bronze from Aeropag.

Day 3

• Ariddia had two athletes on the podium of the women's 500m speed skating, with Jessica Silversmith and Linda Uosh winning gold and bronze respectively. John and Anne Buitendam (Ropa-Topia) won gold in figure skating pairs to successfully defend their title from Aeropag. Mark Hendon and Alexandre Marcion (Kelssek) made for a 1-2 on the podium at the men's snowboarding halfpipe.

Day 4

• A lack of success saw Edward City fans at the airport leaving Keto after only four days, apparently having given up on winning anything. Jeff Hauser's (Liverpool England) win in the men's alpine combined was overshadowed by a road accident that left his cat in critical condition.

Day 5

• Gaŋ Tā-la (Jasi'yun) set an Olympic record in winning the gold in women's 500m short track. Kelssek took another 1-2 in the snowboarding halfpipe thanks to the efforts of Lyndis Lemaire and Jeanne Carpentier.

Day 6

• Fr. Vasily of The Archregimacy was outrage at the unfair advantage enjoyed by competitiors in figure skating who were not wearing monastic robes. Malabra won its first-ever Olympic gold medal through Idanda Iwoq in men's figure skating. Karsiis Delurty won Fordavia's first-ever Olympic gold, beating Arthur Rank (Wentland) for the men's luge title.

Day 7

• Anastasiania's domination of women's Nordic combined continued as they swept the podium in the individual Gundersen.

Day 8

• A highly unusual tie in alpine skiing saw both Rene Potluck (Qazox) and Sandy Cheeks (Ballclampistan) awarded the gold medal in women's super-G.

Day 9

• Ropa-Topia successfully defended its gold medal in speed skating at the women's team pursuit, while Jasīʼyūn's team set an Olympic record in the C final.

Day 10

• More ski jumping gold for Anastasiania with Annti Hyvärinen winning the men's large hill. Haroldina Baker (Oliverry) set an Olympic record in the B final of the women's 1500m short track. Several events were postponed due to a snowstorm.

Day 11

• Sophia Kellerher and Warren Kellerher (Maineiacs) won the ice dancing gold to the tune of Dire Straits's Romeo and Juliet. Dave Ramey and Jeff Hauser claimed gold and silver respectively to give Liverpool England a 1-2 in the alpine skiing men's super-G.

Day 12

• Marie Harrison (Anastasiania) set a new record in winning the women's 5000m speed skating.

Day 13

• Kelssek won 3-2 against Edward City in the semi-finals to advance to the gold medal match in men's ice hockey, setting up a match against Maineiacs.

Day 14

• Jean-Michel Chang (Ariddia) smashed the Olympic record to win gold in men's 1500m speed skating.

Day 15

• François Riverdale (Ariddia) was perfect in the shooting range to win a surprise gold medal in biathlon, while Linda Uosh (Ariddia) added a third medal with a silver in women's 1500m speed skating. Nancy Willis (Jasīʼyūn) set a new Olympic record to win gold in that event.

Day 16

• The Emperor of Cafundéu personally congratulated that country's gold medal winners in ski jumping and alpine skiing. Thomas Peruzzi, San Adriano's only athlete at the Games, won bronze in men's 500m short track. Maineiacs declared a national holiday to allow everyone in the country to watch the men's ice hockey gold medal final.

Day 17

• Maineiacs won gold in men's ice hockey with L'avoie's save giving them a shootout win over Kelssek with the match tied at 3-3 after overtime.

Day 18

• Wentland media broke their self-imposed publication ban to report on their gold medal in four-man bobsleigh. Paula Vital (Cafundéu) capped a comeback from injury with a silver medal in cross-country skiing. Jessica Silversmith (Ariddia) successfully defended her gold medal in women's 1000m speed skating, ahead of home favourite Nancy Willis (Jasīʼyūn).
