The '''The /an/lympics 2023''' was the first-ever tournament in the /an/imals & Nature board of 4chan, contested by all organisms in the universe — not limited to just animals. The idea and organization came from plus4chan's [[:/tnt/]]. The /an/lympics used a standard format seen in most of this Wiki's tournaments — nominations, qualifiers, a 128-player single-elimination bracket, and a special distinction for entrants who reach the [[Elite Eight]].
 
The tournament was hosted by {{greentext|'''BallsAnon''' !!TSeJH+Shkly}}, a tripfag with prior experience in hosting 4chan and plus4chan polling events. It began with the nominations on May 20 and ended with the champion announced on May 29. The '''crows''' were voted as the inaugural /an/lympics winner, defeating the mighty ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' in the final by a tally of '''72'''-48. The remaining [[elite eight]] entrants consisted of one amphibian, two apes, and three marine animals.

==Synopsis==
Due to the tournament's lax rules on nominating contestants, several entrants actually belong to a larger group of organisms, or are individual members of a particular organism. Examples include the human {{wiki|Tim Allen}}, the meme-famous {{wiki|Longcat}}, and domestic dog breeds {{wiki|Boston Terrier}}, {{wiki|American BullyBorzoi}}, and {{wiki|BorzoiAmerican Bully}} (via the online dog seller Toadline™). In addition, several joke nominations made it into the bracket such as {{wiki|Pet Rock}}, a commercial toy product, and "Garloid", a purported creature that looks like a fat innkeeper's worm.
 
There is no strict rule on naming conventions, so anons can freely choose to nominate organisms using their scientific names, provided that other anons also approve of this.
 
Humans, the sole decider of the /an/lympics results, unsurprisingly won the bracket's top seed. However, their divided nature and overrated reputation dragged them down, leading to their defeat in just the second round because more humans voted for the way cooler Giant Pacific Octopus. Besides the humans, several more top seeds turned out to be overrated jobbers: #4 seed Pet Rock™ lost its first round match to the Plecostomus fish, while the #7 seeded Toadline™, an online pet shop selling American Bullies, was eliminated in similar fashion against the dingo, Australia's famous wild dog.
 
The best-performing plant-based entry was the #381 seededseed KiwifruitWatermelon, who was eliminated in theround last 163 by ''Tyrannosaurusthe rex''green tree python.
