History Awesome / TheVictorsProject

** The conclusion of the Battle of District 7, when the surrounded Rebel leaders get [[TheCavalry reinforcements]] when what appears to be the vengeful ghosts of their dead Victors and tributes attacks the Peacekeepers on horse back but turns out to be a ScoobyDooHoax by the rebel children.

* Boudicca was once approached by a girl who wanted to take the Tribute Trials without any prior training in order to get away from her abusive father. [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome The girl made it to the final trial, the Trial of Blood,]] (something less than half of the kids who spend a full eight years of TrainingFromHell accomplish) before being unable to kill her assigned victim. [[EarnYourHappyEnding An impressed Boudicca gives her a job working at the Institute.]] Doubles as a heartwarming moment.

--->As one, the Settlers rise up from the dirt. From their packs and bags they pull out the weapons they smuggled along on the march. Meat cleavers, butcher knives, firearms that the Anasazi smuggled to them from the moment the Quell was announced. Every man, every woman, every child has something to fight with. And when Thread and his peacekeepers see the glint of steel and hear the first gunshots, they understand their last mistake. Look weak, act pathetic, march into the desert like sniveling, cowardly fools. [[AWolfInSheepsClothing The tributes weren't the only ones who learned a thing or two from Johanna Mason.]]

* Aside from the ScoobyDooHoax itself, Blight's nephew Blane leaps from one moving horse to another while felling peacekeepers with a bo staff.

* Watts Jawofsky, a District 5 boy who [[HeroicSacrifice volunteered for his thirteen year old brother]], the last tribute to do so before Katniss. As Katniss mentions during the trilogy, volunteering in a not-so-wealthy district is seen as "sheer suicide".

* Beetee's girl during Chaff's games being CrazyPrepared, and doing all the right things (avoiding the center of the Cornucopia, being willing to abandon he supplies when she gets singled out anyway) even though it doesn't save her.

* Brilliance somehow won his games despite having been blinded earlier in them.

** Rather than push out the rest of the Council himself he just waits until an inevitable assassination and then tricks Mags into doing the leg work of investigating and exposing it, kicking off a brief Civil war in the Capitol which actually gets the rest of the surviving councilors to ''give'' Snow sole leadership, with there being nothing that will make the populace in general assume that he's spent years manipulating and killing people for that job.
* Barty managing to make his knife curve in mid air during a fight.
* An eight year old Barty taking on an alley dog that was about to attack a little kid, while armed just with a butter knife.

* Seeder's VictoryByEndurance. To elaborate she held the record for the longest Hunger Games in history, all without making any kills and surviving for weeks without any food after her meager supply of crackers ran out.

* Martius' efforts to raise sponsor money for Vera are pretty impressive, and just for a while appearing as though he may be able to make a Capitol kid really re-evaluate the Games, despite his IgnoredEpiphany.
