GAISF Opens Host City Selection Process for Various World Multi-Sport Games

GAISF has launched the host city selection process for future editions of various world multi-sport events, including the World Urban Games, World Combat Games and World Mind Games.

The world multi-sport events bring the best of sport to host cities, driving global exposure and creating the perfect bridge between elite sport and local communities.

GAISF and SportAccord President Raffaele Chiulli said:

“We are delighted to open the host city selection process for future multi-sport Games. All of these events bring the best of sport to the heart of a city, while engaging with youth communities through inspiring initiatives to encourage greater participation in physical activity.

“We are also excited to be working with SportAccord from an operational perspective on the delivery of these various events. SportAccord has extensive experience in the organisation of world-class events and a thorough understanding of the global sports community and multi-sport event landscape.”

Following the successful inaugural 2019 edition of the GAISF World Urban Games in Budapest, GAISF has scheduled a second edition for 2023. The initial version included BMX freestyle, inline roller freestyle, parkour, breaking, 3x3 basketball and freestyle flying disc, together with laser run and indoor rowing. The World Urban Games places sport at the heart of a family-friendly city-centre festival that also includes music and art.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia was recently selected as the next host of the World Combat Games with Riyadh set to become the beating heart of martial arts combat sports in 2023. Finally, the World Mind Games are a multi-sport event centred on the gymnasium of the mind and highlighting the great value of the mind sports.

City representatives who want to learn more should not hesitate to contact GAISF Director and SportAccord Managing Director Nis Hatt at [email protected].

In 2015, Australia’s suffered a traumatic brain injury which meant he had to learn to walk again after a horror wipe-out.

After a long and painful road back to the professional tour, he was ready to quit the sport in 2019 – only for the news that surfing was confirmed for to change everything. 🙌

On Day 4 of the Games, Owen became the first ever surfing Olympic medallist when he took bronze in the men's competition. 🥉

TOKYO MEN’S MEDALISTS 🏅🏅🏅

Last night was a roller coaster at the Men’s Finals in Olympic Sport Climbing. As we entered the third and final discipline of the combined event, everyone was calculating like mad and it became clear that the entire competition was still up for grabs. The first photos are of Jakob Schubert when he lowered from lead wall and learned his climb had just got him a medal. In the end we got a podium filled with the winners of each discipline :

🥇to Speed #1
🥈to Boulder #1 .coleman
🥉to Lead #1 - .schubert
