Welcome to the era of the Interstellar Games. This is not about the Olympics in space, nor a futuristic reboot of the Triwizard Tournament . It is the most ambitious, dangerous, and profound shift in competitive sport ever conceived. The first rule of the Interstellar Games is simple: forget every record you know.
The "stadiums" are not built; they are borrowed. The Jovian slalom races take place in the rings of Saturn, where competitors on microgravity skiffs must navigate ice boulders moving at 15,000 mph. The finish line isn't a ribbon; it's a magnetic capture field. Miss your braking window? You become part of the ring. While the venues are exotic, the events fall into three brutal categories: interstellar games
