Preview: New goals for The World Games

Preview: New goals for The World Games

Do not be alarmed if you are in Wroclaw on Thursday, and seeing groups of people with sticks wandering around the city. For the sticks belong to the players of the floorball and lacrosse teams who commence their quest for Gold at The World today. If you are a fan of ice hockey or field hockey, then you will love these sports, which feature the same face paced action and multiple shots on goal seen in the more familiar games. Big rivals, Finland and Czech Republic will face each other in the opening floorball game.

Time to bid farewell to the orienteers and the water skiers and wakeboarders. It is also the last opportunity to see action in kickboxing and indoor rowing, as invitational sports have no guarantee that they will feature in future editions of The World Games.
