For their 29th birthday, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen threw 'Olsen Olympics' as their weekend celebration on Sunday. Guests were grouped in two teams, Team Mary-Kate in red and Team Ashley in blue.

According to People Magazine, the guests were randomly assigned to each team by picking out their team colors out from a hat. Team players posted pictures during the outdoor Olympic party, showing a colorful maze with tires and cones, and a dunk tank.

Team Ashley came out as the champion, in a celebration sparked by colorful fireworks.
