First medals of this year's games will be decided today
The first competitive action will be getting underway at the Island Games this morning.
The first medals of the games are likely to come in triathlon - a sport where the Isle of Man secured three bronze medals in Guernsey two years ago.
Thousands watched in Orkney as the opening ceremony for this year's games was held yesterday evening.
TV presenter and broadcaster Lorraine Kelly hosted the event, and told Manx Radio what makes Orkney so special:
New Year's fell race to take place in St John's
Rugby: Hopes for more Manx sides in local competitions in future
Football: More 'joined-up' approach sought between FA and Manx clubs
Tennis: Billy Harris called up to GB United Cup squad
