The 9th Summer Olympics, officially the Games of the IX Olympiad, were an international multi-sport event held in the cities of Zube and Kytler Bay City, The Kytler Peninsulae. These were the first Olympic Games to be explicitly split between two host cities.
Host selection
The Kytler Peninsulae was the only national Olympic committee to submit a hosting bid, which was ratified by a vote of the Nationstates Olympic Council.
VenuesZube and Kytler Bay City are 50 km apart. A new Maglev train line was constructed between the two cities prior to the Olympics. Broadly speaking, combat and water-based sports were assigned to Kytler Bay City, whilst other sports were allocated to Zube. Additionally, some events were also held in or around the town of Aardswood, close to Kytler Bay City.
Additionally, the cycling road races and the men's cycling time trial were run from Zube to Kytler Bay City; the triathlon and marathon routes ran from Kytler Bay City to the Jamison Farmhouse, south of Zube, where the Kytlerian constitution was signed; and football was staged in stadia throughout the country. |
