I thought about just calling it the "Global Trilympics", but I figured that teams from the colonies and Mars would probably be there as well. So, I just went ahead and called it the "Solar Trilympics", since it's not just Earth teams. It's also kind of a combination between "Triathlon" and "Olympics". There's logic behind calling it that.
But, yeah, I've been generally avoiding the use "crazy, space words" when describing things. I'm trying to keep things realistic and believable, not turn it into Star Trek [where things have to be explained twice before people understand what the heck they're talking about].
