Deep-Space Marathon is run inside a rotating O’Neill cylinder. The Coriolis effect means that runners experience nausea so intense that only 12% of Earth’s elite marathoners can complete the distance without vomiting in their helmets.

The Coriolis effect means that runners experience nausea

In a solar system divided between the Earth Coalition, the Martian Congressional Republic, and the Outer Belt Alliance, conflict over water and helium-3 is constant. The Games provide a pressure valve. A dispute over mining rights in the Ceres sector is settled not by railguns, but by a best-of-seven Void Ball series.
