Olympiad XXII will kick off the four-day weekend of events with opening ceremonies at the PERC field house tonight at 7 p.m.

The team colors this year are orange, green, yellow and purple.

“Since it is over Halloween weekend, we tried to choose colors that are associated with that,” Cierra Hickle, SAB event coordinator, said. “We are hoping that students will get really creative with costumes within their team color.”

Many traditional Olympiad events will be returning, Hickle said, including basketball, limbo, ultimate Frisbee and synchronized swimming. New events include bubble soccer, football futbol, kickball and latest versions of video games.

“There really is something for everyone,” Hickle said.

Team flags will be presented today at the fieldhouse at 7:30 p.m., followed by limbo at 8 p.m., tug of war at 8:30 p.m., dodge ball at 9 p.m. and speed walking at 9:30 p.m.

“I love Olympiad,” Hickle said. “It is a crazy weekend for everyone involved, but it is a really great opportunity for students to be on a team with people they might not normally interact with. … My hope is that people will enjoy healthy competition and have fun.”
