5th Summer Olympics

The 5th Summer Olympics, known formally as the Games of the V Olympiad (French: Jeux de la Ve Olympiade) were an international multi-sport event held in Outineau, Kelssek. This was the second time the country hosted the Olympics but the first time hosting the summer edition of the Games. The official language of the Outineau Olympics was French, and consequently marching order in the parade of nations was according to the delegation's French name. The cauldron was lit by Pierre Lacousteau, captain of Kelssek's gold medal winning men's water polo team at the 2nd Summer Olympics in Querzaki.

There were 22 new Olympic records set during the Olympics, including a remarkable three-way tie with the existing record by three swimmers in the semi-finals of the women's 100m backstroke. Yet none of the three, Paula Biederlieu (Delaclava), Samantha Benson (Quintessence of Dust) and Natália Franco (Cafundéu), managed to make it onto the podium in the final as Jessica Langton (Kelssek) won the gold medal instead. Some highlights of the Games included Matthew Daniltsin of Delaclava's win in the men's 100 metre sprint, Kelssek swimmer Philippe Destry cementing his status as an Olympic star by winning 2 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze for a total of four medals. The gold medal victory for Kelssek's men's water polo team was one of the most-watched television events in the host nation's history and sparked spontaneous street celebrations in several cities.

Outineau was the first city to be awarded the Olympic Games under what was then the newly-ratified Olympic Charter. Netball and rugby sevens were held as demonstration events.

Host selection
With the Olympic Charter having been recently ratified by the participant nations of the Olympics, the new host bidding and selection process was used for the first time. In any event, Outineau did not face any competing bids and easily overcame the option to re-open the bidding process.

Participating NOCs
Liventia was officially represented by the Combined Team. However, due to unhappiness that the Combined Team was dominated by Ad'ihan, national sports federations in Liventia also backed 165 athletes who entered as a separate delegation, the Independent Athletes of Liventia (IAL). The Liventian Olympic Association (LOA) granted the independent delegation authorization to use the national anthem of Liventia at medal ceremonies. Subsequently, the LOA claimed medals won by the independent athletes as won by Liventia, but officially only those won by the Combined Team are counted as such in Olympic Council records and the Independent Athletes of Liventia are considered an entirely separate entity.

Venues
Hosting the Olympics had been a long-nurtured ambition among a large segment of the city's political and business leaders, and the construction of the Stade des Jeux Olympiques in 1976, despite being immediately meant to serve the needs of professional rugby, included an athletics track and relevant facilities in its design long before an Olympic bid was actually submitted. The stadium required extensive modernization work but the dreams were finally fulfilled as it was formally renamed Stade Olympique d'Outineau upon completion of the works two weeks before the opening ceremony. New constructions included the Athletes Village and the addition of an inclined tower to the stadium complex which held the cauldron for the Olympic flame and provided international broadcasters with studios equipped with spectacular city views. The swimming complex on Île-Saint-Hélène was expanded with a spectator stand for the hosting of water polo events, and the rowing facility was newly-constructed.
