Background information

 * This is Shadow's first appearance(other than advertisements) in the main comic series since STH #196, nearly 50 issues ago judging by the front cover.
 * Amy's attire is similar to the ones seen in the Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games series.
 * Dispite the fact that the story is based around the olympics, the issue doesn't come out anywhere near the olympics.
