welcome ladies and gentlemen to the age of empires olympics
opening ceremonies are already underway ahead of what promises to be an exciting
day of events this is what the athletes have been
training for and they're ready to push themselves to the limits of their speed
skill and strength across a wide set of challenges to prove which civilization
can spend the most gold to train their athletes this year
even sees four brand new competing nations
will their nerves and jitters get the best of them or will they rise to the
occasion the first event of the day is horse
racing based purely on raw stats the cumin hazard should have the advantage
here with the best qualifying time out of the group of
course anything can happen once the race starts
looks like they're all ready to go and they're off a great jump by all the
competitors it's a dead heat through the first straight
heading into the forest cumins are out in front followed by megyars and then
hans whoops a little bumping there doesn't
appear anyone's been disqualified though they're around the first bend and coming
up to the barrels successfully weaving through those
passing now by some spearmen getting a couple hits on the leader of the pack
and causing a bit of chaos coming up on the piles of wood that seems to be no
trouble for their pathing and now we have them coming
out of the forest into the final straightaway and it's the cumans still in
the lead followed by the magyars and the indian imperial camel bringing up
the rear showing off that speed in the straightaway the cumans are your gold
medal winners magyars pick up the silver and mongols
should be happy with the bronze a bit of a scary moment there around the
pikeman with cumans taking a couple of free hits and a bit of shuffling going
on still it's a fantastic start to today's
events and really the result i think most fans expected
now it's time for the infantry to run the course eagle warriors in lane 2 look
to be the favorite statistically but world raiders in lane 1 aren't far
behind bit of a surprise in lane 4 to see a teutonic knight not sure if he
realizes what sort of event he's in and hopefully won't be too embarrassed
by what looks to be a very strong group this year
looks like the runners are about ready to get underway
again great start with amazingly the teutonic knight in the lead
incredible he's giving it everything he's got hopefully he's saving something
for the end of the race and adrenaline isn't getting the best of him here
going into the end of the first stretch we have the teutonic knight in the lead
with the rest of the pack falling behind and you're probably aware there was some
controversy about the gabetto racing in the men's division but she's really
holding her own almost neck and neck with the woad raider way
ahead of the pack the teutonic knight is now fighting the two pikemen
on the course it looks like he's just showing off at this point though he
better be careful or he could get past and what's this the eagle warrior is
passing and taking the lead this could be the biggest throw we've ever seen in
this event the teutonic knight and eagle warrior
are now neck and neck going into the last turn
but what's this in the last straightaway the teutonic knight looks to be pulling
ahead and indeed does take the gold with the eagle warrior
grabbing silver and the low raider taking bronze going back to the replay
it was dicey for a moment there but an incredible performance and the teutonic
knight really ran his heart out i can't believe he managed to both fight
the pikeman and still win but still a great run by the rest of the
participants as well
and that sound means that it's time for the king monk relay it's always a matter
of intense personal pride for these monarchs
off the gun they're neck and necks so far and even heading into the relay it's
so close it really could be anyone's race
it's a photo finish at the end of who's kane crossed the line first
and it looks like there's a dispute amongst themselves of who won
we'll let them argue about it and we'll check back in later it's good timing as
well as i'm hearing we have the results on the long toss
as expected the tatar trebuchet takes the gold medal setting a new world
record with 19 range the japanese trebuchet and turk
elite canon galleon tied with 17 range leading to a shootout tiebreaker
after a few volleys it was the turks who came out on top
that gives them the silver medal though for all three civilizations this is
their first time today on the podium and i'm sure they'll all be happy with their
result and just a quick update for our viewers
we have a report coming in that the red monk has won the argument and convinced
all of the other monks that he won the race
i repeat the red team is the winner in the king to monk relay
with some great action already today let's take a look at the metal count
don't forget there are plenty of events still to come though
we'll send you over now to archery where today's competition is getting close to
wrapping up
taking the next shot is the longbowman he's had a strong day it's in the lead
with 111 points you could clinch the gold with just four
points on this shot seems to be taking wind into account he
looks ready oh heartbreak it may still be good but
he must be disappointed with himself his 70 base accuracy really showed up at
just the crucial moment let's take another look at it
you can see he's not even close that brings us to the genomes crossbows
final shot and we'll see if he can steal it
he needs seven points to tie and eight to win
he's gathering himself now it's a perfect 10. amazing really coming
in clutch with his 100 accuracy on non-moving targets will this
be the result it takes to finally get the longbowmen to use a thumb ring
let's take another look on our super slow cam
don't be fooled at home folks that is an incredibly difficult shot
we'll go now to an interview with the winner wait this is just coming in we
interrupt today's events for some shocking news about a developing scandal
we're hearing confirmed reports that the teutonic knight in today's infantry race
has been disqualified for testing positive for steroids
we've reached out to the teutonic knights legal team who say they
categorically deny the accusations and have appealed the decision but have no
other comment at this time regardless the teutonic knight has been
stripped of his gold medal meaning the eagle warrior takes the gold the world
raider silver and the gabetto moving up to bronze
we'll keep you updated as the story unfolds but we go now live to one of our
main events the champion damage per second
competition as you know contestants have 10 seconds to deal as much damage as
possible to their respective scarecrows japanese already have one medal today
and are the heavy favorites going into this event though aztecs garland wars
may give them a run for their money they stand set
this might be one of the most intense damage per minute battles i've ever seen
in my career and the crowd absolutely loves it their 10 seconds are
up and the final results are in the gold medal goes to the japanese
though by the slimmest of margins with aztecs picking up silver and the burmese
getting bronze we take you down live to the pitch to
hear from the winner that was an amazing round japanese
champion what was going through your mind
actually our guy in the stats booth says you are technically giving 133 percent
great stuff congratulations on the victory as we send it now to the
duathlon this is a new event this year and only
the bulgarians entered with a viable team
the race involves 20 miles of horseback riding through a variety of obstacles
followed by dismounting and finishing with a 10 mile sprint
it appears that this year's winner is the yellow conic just a few years ago he
was an average kid in bulgaria and now look at him with his family cheering him
on just an incredible personal journey for
him that gives three medals to the bulgarians from a single event putting
them in the lead for the day though keep in mind a handful of events
remain and really anything can happen speaking of which this just in the celts
have won the sheep herding competition yet again
it really seems like they win it every year their herdable bonus is really
coming in handy for them in this one so that's a gold medal to the celts in
addition to their silver from the infantry race
i'm also hearing the next event is just about to start and we'll send you over
to the cheat code arena
an astounding victory by charcatzor the newest member of the cheat code family
quite the redemption arc for oliver as well he was pretty deep into the catnip
there for a few years and just recently got clean and put his life back together
he's worked really hard to get to where he is now and there's so many good
stories coming out of the olympics this year
jumping back over to a main event again winning the most expensive unit for the
21st year in a row is the bombard cannon at 450 resources
wrapping up with the final event is everyone's favorite jousting
it was a grueling tournament and elsid won gold as the strongest out of the
jousting heroes with william the conqueror claiming the
silver and reinold de chateaune picking up the bronze
what an incredible finish to such an amazing day so many civilizations had a
great showing and can go home tired but proud of their performance
congratulations to all of the competitors
thanks for watching and see you in 4
years
you
