The World Games’ website states that the athletes’ “talent is palpable, their results are inspiring, and the show is electric when they best are at their best.”
The World Games, first held in 1981, are an international multi-sport event meant for sports or disciplines not contested in the Olympics.
When the World Games come to Birmingham in 2021, it will be the first time the games are played in the United States since 1981, when they were held in Santa Clara, Calif. The games have since been held in England, Germany (twice), Netherlands, Finland, Japan, Taiwan and Colombia. They will be held in 2017 in Poland.
