o  And then Marvin sent this from Tia Belau, July 22-28 (p. 20):  "The 3rd Belau-Mobil Games came to a close on Monday evening, 17 July 2000, at the Palau National Gymnasium.  With 14 States participating approximately 1000 athletes, the Belau-Mobil Games were a definite success
. . . . Hatohobei State dominated with the most medals, a total count of 103; by Peleliu State with 43; while Ngaraad State and Koror State received 42 medals. . . .  However, the State of Peleliu took the Overall Champion earning a total of 173 points, while Koror State came in 2nd place with 168 points, and Melekeok State in 3rd place with a total of 159 points."
