Urnietako Olinpiadak

In 2026 Urnieta held its first games, inspired by Hernani's, and I was asked to cover the final event: blindfolds, a black plastic sheet and every group gathered round.

In the same year that Hernani's Gazte Olinpiadak returned to the streets after an eight-year break, Urnieta held its own for the first time, on the same model: the town's groups of friends competing in teams, from one event to the next.

The organisers asked me to cover the final event, on 29 May. A single afternoon, start to finish: spectators packed onto the steps, blindfolded runs with a guide, the celebrations and, to close, a race across a black plastic sheet. I also looked down on it with the drone, as in Hernani, to see the pattern the groups make.
