The 2020 Winter Invictus Games, officially called the XXIII Winter Invictus Games (Gaullican: Les XXIIIe Jeux invictus d'hiver; Soravian: XXIII Зимові Ігри Інвіцтус), but more commonly and colloquially known as Novokharbatsk 2020 is the twenty-third edition of the Winter Invictus Games, an international winter sports competition, held in Novokharbatsk, Soravia, between February 7 and February 20, 2020.

The Games were held primarily at the KolonetsArena within the city, which has a capacity of 65,000, and which was also be the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies. Novokharbatsk 2020 was the first Winter Invictus Games and the second Invictus Games to be held in Soravia.

Among the eliminated cities were Västdal in Ordennya, Paltamo in Velzemia, Rosenborg in Varienland and Keisi in Senria.

Venues

Novokharbatsk

KolonetsArena

Novokharbatsk has four existing stadiums and two new stadiums that featured as venues for the Games. The largest, KolonetsArena, hosted the opening and closing ceremonies, although it did not feature any of the sporting events. New stadiums such as the Chashka Stadium featured ice hockey and figure skating.

Chashka Stadium

KolonetsArena – opening and closing ceremonies / 65,000 existing
Chashka Stadium – ice hockey, figure skating and speed skating / 18,000 new
Gornoye Stadium – curling / 4,300 new
Vitivka Arena – ice hockey / 9,000 new
Novokharbatsk Invictus Village – Athlete accommodation
The village was newly built on land around 0.5 miles south of Novokharbatsk

Surrounding towns

Catorgaz Arena – bobsleigh, luge and skeleton / 3,700 existing
Kupin Resort – snowboarding, freestyle skiing, downhill skiing, combined skiing
Gutsiska Ski Resort – biathlon

Transport

Novokharbatsk is well connected within Soravia, and serves as an urban hub in the centre of the country. The city is close to the border with Yavorstrana, and can be easily accessed by air or rail from most of Euclea. Travelling by road is more difficult due to incidents at Crossing 93 making it impossible to drive between Soravia and Velzemia. Novokharbatsk is connected by high-speed rail to Samistopol and Patovatra, the two largest cities in Soravia, and has a three-runway international airport. The city can be accessed by ferry up the Dolomit river from Yavorstrana and Minilov.

Novokharbatsk itself has a small existing metro, but stations are being opened and renovated for the Invictus Games, with the new Invictus Line of the metro system travelling between each of the stadiums. Novokharbatsk has inner-city rail that travels between most locations in the city, as well as an expansive network of roads, trams, and taxi services.

Budget

The budget for the Games is estimated to be around 5.5 billion Euclo, making it one of the most expensive Winter Invictus Games in history; however, this figure also includes renovations for transport inside Novokharbatsk in preparation for the Games, while the budget for the Games itself is likely around 4 billion Euclo.
