The /an/lympics 2024

The /an/lympics 2024 was a tournament held on the /an/imals & Nature board of 4chan and a direct follow-up to the first iteration in 2023. It was once again contested by all organisms known on Earth rather than just animals. Due to the 2023 host Ballsanon !!TSeJH+Shkly retiring during King of /v/ 2023 under what was later confirmed to be personal reasons, the tournament's future wasn't entirely clear at first. In the end, it would be taken over by a new host known as Mr. Sir The Guymanbro !xNDnmYN2QQ, who had previously hosted the various barred character side event tournaments during the recent main /co/ and /v/ tournaments.

• It is not required nor will you be penalized in any way for doing so, but it is recommended that you nominate general species instead of specific members. (People are more likely to vote for "Crocodiles" instead of "Black Caiman".)
