TWG 2017 Wrocław, POL
Thank you Wrocław, see you in 2021!
240 000 participants at 26 venues and in the fan zone, 10 days of competition, 3 500 athletes from 111 countries, 1 600 volunteers, 700 journalists from 50 countries – that is The World Games 2017 by the numbers.
When looking at medal tallies, we often focus on the leaders on the list. However, some countries further down on the list might have had their most successful Games ever, and are enjoying the medals as much, if not more, than the ones higher up.
The World Games 2017 saw some surprise winners and several last-chance gold medals. Let’s remind ourselves of some of the highlights of the Games.
