The history of The World Games has found a new home in Lausanne. A few days ago, 300 boxes and more than 50 folders with documents, photos and videos arrived at the headquarters of the International World Games Association. Co Koren, former Secretary General of the IWGA, handed over the material; he has been collecting and documenting these assets over the past four decades. The carefully labelled boxes arrived in Lausanne by van from Hoensbroek in The Netherlands, Co Koren's place of residence.

The 11th edition of The World Games held in Birmingham, Alabama can justifiably lay claim to be the best edition of the multi-sport celebration ever held. An unprecedented three-quarters of the nations competing enjoyed podium success, and multiple competitors rewrote the history books with astonishing performances. I would go so far as to claim that the American city was privileged to see the greatest collection of athletes ever assembled for any edition of The World Games.
