The 3rd Winter Olympics, formally the III Olympic Winter Games, was a winter multi-sport event held in Revena, Quakmybush. After 16 days of competition in which numerous delays in the schedule occurred, the Games were abandoned due to infrastructural problems. It remains the only Olympic Games held within the Olympic Council setup (albeit rather tenuously given the Council's non-functioning status at the time) to not have been successfully completed. The results of the Revena Olympics are not included in official records of the Olympic Council, consequently records set and medals awarded are not recognized and considered unofficial.
No official bidding process or vote was held as the Olympic Council had become inactive at this time, with the previous winter and summer Games having been successfully announced and hosted on the initiative of the Paripana Sporting Council. The Quakmybush Olympic Committee simply opened invitations to which nations responded. Despite the failed attempt, these Olympics would be followed by the successful 3rd Summer Olympics in Columbia, the Kelssek Olympic Committee organized the 4th Winter Olympics in Alavaria.
The Games
Participating nations
Due to gaps in the records, this list may not be complete. In addition, Candelaria And Marquez submitted entries which appear to have been excluded due to administrative errors, resulting in a protest by its National Olympic Committee.
