The /an/lympics 2024
| /an/lympics 2024 | Gallery |
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.
