2014 Micronesian Games
The 8th Micronesian Games were held from July 20 to July 30, 2014, in Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia (FSM).〔(Official website )〕
The Games began with an opening ceremony on the track and field grounds. They included "traditional war dances", and the unfurling of the Games flag in the air as it was delivered by parachute.〔("Micro Games Opening Ceremony Attracts The People Of Pohnpei" ), official website〕
At the close of the Games, Guam had topped the medal table, with eighty-one medals, of which forty-two gold.〔("Team Guam tops medal tally" ), Guam National Olympic Committee, 30 July 2014〕
==Participating countries==
All Micronesian nations, states and territories took part. The host country was represented by four teams, one for each of its federated states: Chuuk, Kosrae, Pohnpei and Yap. The other participants included four independent countries (Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau) and two unincorporated organised territories of the United States: the Northern Mariana Islands and Guam.〔 The 2014 Games were the second hosted by the FSM, the 2002 Games having also taken place in Pohnpei State.〔
The scheduling of the Games conflicted with the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, which began on 23 July. Two Micronesian countries, Kiribati and Nauru, are members of the Commonwealth of Nations, and thus had to split their athletes between the two events, both of which they were participating in.
