  2. Olympus because if zues sent some representatives and I they did bad in a event he would probably blast every body

  3. Chamber of Secrets: Not sure volleyball is so fun in a basilisk nest.

    Prison of Azkaban: Kinda hard to do a flip with dementors circling in.

  4. 1. Earth in world war z at least they can run a 400 meter dash
    2. Panem, the districts would be like countries
    3. Mars from the Martian (No water, no air, Intense heat, 5-year flight and over 9 billion dollar would probably not be a good place).

  5. Sword art online… The vr world where everyone gets stuck and if they got stuck what will happen to the people who enjoy watching the Olympics?!

  6. Sword art online the virtual reality world where they get stuck in and die if they die in game..! I mean seriously the monsters and stuff but also they won’t be able to do the olympics!!

  7. Soul Society: Because it has a Huge Area to do the Olympics, it has castles, a beautiful entrance, and there’s a lot of buildings to do some of the Olympics | The Soul Society Is From The Anime Bleach |

  10. Location: Journey 2: Mysterious Island

  11. A Goosebumps book should not be the setting for Olympics because it would be scary. You don’t want a clown scaring up on you.

  12. Transformers 3: Aliens attack NY city and there is UFO’s flying everywhere and hovering and any human seen get incinerated. I think you need people to do a sport…
