Their successes came on Saturday when cyclists Sabrina Spellman and Phoebe Nightingale won Gold in the sailing regatta and cycling marathon respectively. Phoebe Nightingale cycled up and down treacherous hilly terrain to the Punchbowl, hundreds of Toyish miles away from Oldsville.

'I thought it was over when I fell off my bike on a particularly steep hill,' said Nightingale, aged 21. Onlookers thought she had fallen asleep because she was going so slow.
'Well it is her trademark! Wouldn't have surprised me!' said an acid-tongued spectator, Mrs Mouse.
Coming second in that marathon was Spurry Steakface (Smallvania), a cycling veteran now said to be more accustomed to driving. Despite racing ahead early on, eager to make it to her hair appointment, she fell behind when bumping into one of the builders of the new Chris & Spurry Steakplace on the way.
'And I missed my hair appointment - again! I need to get my hook restyled for the closing ceremony!' said Steakface.

Ryan Atwood won gold for Smallvania in the cycling pursuit, beating his opponent, Wise Teddy, from the host country Oldsville.
'I think Wise did excellently, but he is getting a little old and slow and where once he was the best at this sport I think he should take more of a backseat role, offering cycling advice and wisdom to younger participants' said a particularly sage Ducky Mallard. Ducky is four years old.
Ducky himself will be competing in the breadrace tomorrow, where participants swim around a pond catching as much bread as they can. Other events coming up next week include the long awaited Trampolining contest, the corridor sprint and women's gymnastics, where Boston is expected to do well.
Pictured: Other events that have already taken place include weightlifting, where Chris Steakface, known as "Toyland's Strongest Chef", took Gold for Smallvania. This not very well known character took Silver for Philip's Toyland. Representatives from the Oldsville Olympic Committee said they did not enquire as to where Philip was getting his participants from.
