Congratulations to the 40 athletes selected to represent Australia at the upcoming World Dwarf Games in Cologne, Germany.
Fourteen years ago, in 2009, we sent our first team to Belfast, Northern Ireland. A team of 15 athletes who endeavoured to leave a mark on the world stage - on and off the field. We did, and we have every year since. The fourth team about to represent Australia is the largest team to date, and we know their hard work, determination, and dedication will pay off; itโs now their time to compete on the biggest stage for short-statured athletes.
