FICS President Dr Sheila Wilson of Indianapolis, USA, assisted by IWGA CEO Joachim Gossow, also presented an overview of the IWGA and the Cali World Games to delegates at the ECU Convention.  In addition, Gossow was presented with a FICS Appreciation Award, recognizing over 10 years partnership between FICS and the IWGA and his personal support.

“It is the IWGA that should be giving an award to FICS,” says Gossow. “FICS provided a volunteer team of 35 sports chiropractic specialists for the Cali Games, and their services were outstanding and praised by athletes and coaches alike.”

“Cali was the third consecutive World Games with a FICS team in attendance, notes FICS Secretary-General Dr Phil Santiago, “and FICS is already preparing for the Wroclaw, Poland World Games in 2017.”
