Place 6: Haymitch Abernathy
Haymitch Abernathy from District 12 is introduced to us as the grumpy and constantly drunk mentor of Katniss. However, in his youth, he was not to be underestimated.
At 16, he was selected for the Hunger Games. Not because he was drawn by lot. But as a punishment for having had a run-in with a peacekeeper. Since it was the second Jubilee Anniversary, Haymitch had to deal with twice as many tributes and a particularly treacherous arena.
Nevertheless, he managed to kill three of the strong career tributes. On one hand, his physical strength and skill with the knife helped him. On the other hand, he was smart enough to see through the mechanisms of the arena and use them to his advantage. This combination led him to victory and made him a strong fighter.
- Winner of: 50th Hunger Games
- Age at victory: 16
