Round 4 of the 2025 Linear Olympics brought us Flip Cup (minus the drinks, to everyone’s disappointment).
Cups were flying, tables were shaking, and the teams gave it their all.

Canada took first place this round, with Brazil in second and Guatemala securing third.

Here’s where the overall standings sit after four rounds:

Canada – 6 points
Brazil – 4 points
Guatemala – 4 points
Argentina – 3 points
Turkey – 3 points
Sri Lanka – 2 points
Mauritius – 2 points

Every round matters as we move closer to the finish—who do you think will take home the gold?
