which hunger games was haymitch in

Haymitch Abernathy won the 50th Hunger Games , which was also the second Quarter Quell, 24 years before Katniss’s 74th Hunger Games.

Quick Scoop

• Haymitch is the sole known living victor from District 12 before Katniss and Peeta, and his victory comes from the 50th Hunger Games, not the 74th.

• The 50th was a Quarter Quell where the Capitol doubled the number of tributes to 48, making Haymitch’s win especially brutal and politically significant.

• His experiences in that arena, and the Capitol’s later retaliation against him and his family, explain his bitter, alcoholic, yet fiercely strategic mentor persona in the main series.
