With a new victor rolling around every summer, it's rare for many of them to stay in our mind for much longer than a decade. Even though Finnick Odair's Games were just ten years ago, I'm certain that we won't be forgetting the victor of the 65th Annual Hunger Games anytime soon. Tall, strong and outrageously handsome, Odair dominated the 65th Games due to unparalleled levels of sponsor sport from us, the adoring Capitol public. Armed with arguably the most expensive sponsor gifts of all time, Finnick had no troubled in seeing his name go down in history, as not only one of Panem's most memorable victors but also its youngest.

Finnick maybe also be known as the first of District 4's 'Golden Generation' of tributes, where a tribute from District 4 made it to the final two for five out of six consecutive years from the 65th to the 70th Hunger Games, producing three victors during that time, with Finnick mentoring the other two himself. Despite having only mentored during the last decade, Finnick's haul of two victors shows him to be just as good of a mentor as he was a tribute. He returns to the Capitol every summer, and although these trips are often filled with stories questioning the love life of everyone's favourite victor, he somehow manages to deliver the goods - and, more importantly, competitive tributes - year after year.

Looking ahead to tonight's interviews, it's likely that Finnick focus on the upcoming Hunger Games, although maybe we'll get the answer to that question- you know, the one we all want to ask. But whatever he says, it's bound to be memorable. We know his got a way with words, both from previous speeches over the years and his post-arena talent of poetry.

Despite developing new skills since the arena, one thing has stuck with him over the years; his talent for using a trident. This year, Finnick is the only tribute to score an eleven, which would have made the highest-scoring tribute (or, at least, joint highest) in every one of the last seventy-four Hunger Games. For the first time, that is not the case this year, but that doesn't stop Finnick from having the best odds of all the tributes this year. Factor in sponsor support, and he'll be a clear favourite.

Since his Games, Finnick has spent a lot of his time with his fellow survivors of the Golden Generation, Ludovic Robertson and Annie Cresta, who have helped Finnick in securing District 4 victors in five of the last ten Hunger Games. With Odair in the arena and Robertson calling the shots here in the Capitol, Finnick stands a better chance than anyone of making it second time lucky and escaping the arena as the victor of the Third Quarter Quell.

You'd better keep an eye on Finnick - in an arena filled with victors, this man's the one to beat.
