In June 1939, the IOC gave the 1944 Games to London, ahead of Rome, Budapest, Helsinki, Athens and Shangri-La. World War II stopped the plans, and the London 1944 Summer Olympics never was. However, great things were afoot that would force the 1944 Games to take place. These conditions were: 1. * Britain would nevertheless host the Summer Olympics. 2. * Any and all extraterrestrials would be allowed to participate. 3. * At least 25% of sports featured would be extraterrestrial. 4. * Everyone would have fish and chips, even people that can't eat.

  • In June 1939, the IOC gave the 1944 Games to London, ahead of Rome, Budapest, Helsinki, Athens and Shangri-La. World War II stopped the plans, and the London 1944 Summer Olympics never was. However, great things were afoot that would force the 1944 Games to take place. In September 1942, a group of Daleks appeared at Cardiff Bay, Wales, demanding immediate talks with one of the leaders of the world. This was interpreted somehow as the leader of the British Olympic Council, Lord Burghley, who was quite surprised upon being approached by the Daleks. Urban smog, however, soon caused the Daleks' vision to be impaired. But just when this threat had been eliminated, a group of Cybermen appeared, threatening to "delete" Lord Burghley unless certain conditions were met. These conditions were: 1. * Britain would nevertheless host the Summer Olympics. 2. * Any and all extraterrestrials would be allowed to participate. 3. * At least 25% of sports featured would be extraterrestrial. 4. * Everyone would have fish and chips, even people that can't eat. Lord Burghley consented, as he was not particularly keen to be burnt thoroughly before having his brain tissue picked out and placed inside a metal body. In return, Burghley was named chairman of the organising committee, and was given a top-secret dossier on all forms of alien sports in order to make his picks. The Games opened on 23 July, 1944, in the Wales Millennium Centre. The Cardiff Rift began to transport all alien teams to Earth, starting with the Dalek team at 04.00. (Needless to say, Torchwood Three were extremely busy, and not in the way they usually get busy.) By 12.00, Roald Dahl Plass was filled with every competitor participating. The procession began at 14.45, lasting three hours. The Royal Family, of course, were forced to watch Dalek Sec make the welcoming speech, which consisted purely of 451 words ending in "-ate". After welcoming the athletes to several weeks of "DE-GE-NE-RATE RE-CRE-ATE" the Dalek ordered the King to declare the Games open. Queen Elizabeth would later remember the incident as "slightly fearful".
