Animalia Magazine: Pre-IAC 2021 Edition

added by makutamon 2 years ago O

The May issue of Animalia Magazine was considered one of the most important ones, since its cover article talked about the upcoming IAC. It helped out quite a bit since it not only had the schedule for the IAC sports events, but it also included a list of where certain events would be taking place.

For example, the IAC Bodybuilding Competition had been moved to Mieni Atoll not only to redefine the meaning of "beach bod", but to also help promote some new ads for Mieni Atoll since it had been getting a lot of use, and thereby a lot of updates and renovation, while travel lockdown was going on during 2020.

The IAC Martial Arts Competition, however, was being held on Heiya Island to not only serve as a kind of "middle ground" between various Asian Nations, but to also have an official groundbreaking ceremony for the "Samurai Prep School" that was on the drawing board. While there were still those who were claiming all kinds of false things (either about what was going on between the guys and girls that had been rescued from human trafficking rings, or about what happened at a prep school), this would help dispel some of those claims, if not all of them.

Another article that was tied, indirectly, to the IAC was an article that talked about infamous cases of cheating, how they were achieved, and how they were caught. There were some pretty funny ones, as well as some that were more like "Seriously?!" moments, such as the first person to get caught with illegal "substances" being disqualified because of alcohol (the most common comment on the digital edition involving this were variations of 'What? He was drunk?'). The one that was the most understandable was the Roman emperor Nero, who "won" every event at the Olympics at the time (three guesses why, and the first two don't count), but was removed from the list of winners after his death.

A third article talked about the evolution of the Olympic games from simply a religious festival in ancient Greek times to the international sporting event it is today. It also talked about events that were in past Olympics, which ones were added, which ones were removed, and/or when it happened. This one was very informative, since there were some who had the wrong idea about when certain events became part of the Olympics.

A fourth article talked about the biggest events in the modern Olympics, from the mundane (such as black athletes raising awareness for the civil rights movement) to the scary (Israeli athletes being taken hostage during the Munich Olympics), to the downright ridiculous/funny (such as the Soviet Union boycotting the 1984 Olympics, and thereby causing an Olympics-related promotion run by McDonalds to end up losing millions).

What was also included was a schedule of IAC Events, which was helpful since the IAC and the 2020 Olympics would be happening at roughly the same time (due to the pandemic). This would enable a direct comparison between Olympic-level athletes and "amateur" IAC Athletes, though this was mainly more about fun than anything else.
