The 17th Summer Olympics (officially the Games of the XVII Olympiad) was an international multi-sport event held in New Oxford and Whitehaven in Ceni, and Jolbonopolis, Quebec and Shingoryeo. The opening ceremony was held simultaneously at New Oxford Coliseum and Jolbonopolis Coliseum. Events in 32 official sports and four demonstration sports were held over eighteen days. The demonstration sports were boccia, goalball, pickleball, and summer vigil fasting.

Ceni participates in the Olympics as part of The Afanc Strait Olympic Committee, which is a national Olympic committee (NOC) including the independent countries of Ceni and New Gelderland. The Afanc Strait was thus the considered the host NOC, although all events it was responsible for were held in Ceni.
