Day 15: Baking Up A Batch of Medals

 We head into the final day of the games, and after a massive amount of medals handed out, there has been a huge shift in the standings!




Baguette the Gold had a meteoric rise in the standings to be in podium position after adding 69 points today! She thought that her teams chances were dried up like a crouton, but now she's looking like fresh bread out of the oven. Panera may just throw chunks of baguettes in bags for free, but there's nothing thrown away in the effort this team has earned, battling to the end.

However, there are still some competitions tomorrow, with only 44 points separating 2nd through 5th place.

Who to cheer for tomorrow:
  • Handball - Spain Men (Atheltic Avengers) goes for Bronze; Germany (Eiffel Power) vs. Denmark (Team de Triomphe) for the GOLD - Triomphe needs this to try and get back to the podium
  • Water Polo - Hungary Men (Dont Ledecky Us Get Hot) goes for Bronze vs the USA; Serbia (Hunchback) vs. Croatia (Seine Superstars) for GOLD
  • Basketball - Australia Women (Golden Beret) goes for Bronze; USA Women (Don't Ledecky Us Get Hot) go for GOLD
  • Volleyball - USA Women (Macronian Cheese) vs. Italy Women (Synchronized Race Walkers) go for GOLD
  • Weightlifting, Wrestling, and Cycling all still have events occurring throughout the day.
