Preview: Much Ado About the Storms

Preview: Much Ado About the Storms

published on 23 July, 2017

Because of the bad weather on Sunday, all of the Boules Sports finals (Petanque, Raffa, and Lyonnaise) have been rearranged to Monday 24rd July, with competition starting at 8:00, one hour earlier than originally planned, to compensate. The precision sports of Boules and Bowling, which test accuracy and patience, end today, with the medals being presented this evening. Moday evening also sees the final of the American Football, one of the invitational sports at The World Games. We will see the semi-finals of both Fistball and Korfball, before their finals on Tuesday. But as some sports end, we will get to experience new ones. Powerlifting and Trampoline Gymnastics start, with some finals on their first day of competition. In the Roller Sports, the Speed Skating moves away from the track and onto the road.
