What a bunch of semen slurping sports
Is it televised?
...
>Wii sports resort - the competition
>"The World Games"
sounds like something Americans would create and then play it nationally and just invite Canada so they can claim they won the "WORLD GAMES XIV - brought to you by Burger King"
you seem a bit obsessed
The World Games are basically an Olympics for the freak sports that couldn't make it into the real Olympics. They are recognized by the IOC.
When a sport becomes Olympic, it stops being in the World Games.
Also, why so bitter?
I just hate your sports, sorry
Yeah? Well...I hate...
OK, soccer's actually pretty OK.
What else do you guys play?
Handball 2bh
But personally I don't care much for it, so go along and give the sport as much shit as you desire.
Is this what they are calling the X games now?
The X games are DUDEWEEDLMAO presented by Monster Energy and Globex Financial Services.
The World Games are to the Olympics what the CFL is to the NFL: a bit smaller, a bit cheaper, a bit less entertaining, and considerably less important.
Like the olympic games of /asp/
What the hell Italy?

Bangladesh suck at these too
The 2013 World Games featured a fistball competition.
>Fistball is a sport of European origin. It is similar to volleyball in that players try to hit a ball over a net. The current men's fistball World Champion is Germany, winners of both the 2011 World Championships and the fistball category at the 2013 World Games.
Of course, Germans would be drawn to something like that.
>canoe polo
fucking mayhem
world games?
Who played it on their ancient computers?
kek
> lifesaving
> tug of war
> trampoline gymnastics
> fin swimming

Fugg :-DDDD
Too bad there is no elephant polo though. (for the record, the current world champions are Switzerland)
This is like bizarro olympics
>flag of Scotland
>flag of England nowhere to be found
What did they mean by this?
>a bit smaller, a bit cheaper, a bit less entertaining
thanks for being kind, ameribro
why is bulletball not in this?
Believe it or not my friend is a player on the US korfball team.
>no fire fighting
>no navigating
garbage
is navigating different than orienteering?
Kek, apparently this has been around for 35 years already and this is the first time I hear of it.
>squash
I'm in, name the time and place (stream). Make a /wgg/, and post waifus.
FALKLANDS ARE SCOTTISH
>Orienteering
???
This looks pretty fun. Though the question remains.
The flags represent the locations of the events in the game.
Japan - Sumo
USA - Bull Riding
Mexico - Cliff diving
Germany - Barrel jumping
Russia - Weight lifting
Canada - Log rolling
Scotland - Caber toss
France - Slalom skiing
Anyone remember these? Or am I too much of an old fag for this board.
like a mountain race through checkpoints that you have to find with a map and compass.

Wouldn't mind seeing the Asian Beach Games; it starts up the last week of September.
abg2016.com
In additional to conventional aquatic games and beach-xyz, there's several kinds of martial arts. sepak takraw, and KABADDI.
>Glider Aerobatics
>Boules
>Sumo
>Tug of war
Okay, I'm hype.
>Sepaktakraw
Noice.
I can only imagine the shitposting for the tug-of-war
Pls someone remember to make threads for this in a year
I discovered this last week when looking up sports that aren't in the Olympics
>Parachuting
How do you win this? First one to the ground? That would be amazing, basically a game of chicken with a parachute string
Well if I lived in a 1984-like dystopia that let's a bunch of rapefugees in to Sodomize all of our qts I'd be pretty bitter too tbqh familia.

lol truth

>imblying in le current year tv coverage matters
This sounds cool af. Would love to see some top-tier orienteering, parachuting, and water skiing.
To prove just how insignificant the world games truly are. The 2021 Games for the World Games will be held in Birmingham, Alabama
Yup, good old Alabama. A center piece of the south with a population of 212,237 people. With a demographics of 73% Black and only 22% white. This is also one of the few states in the USA without a Professional Sports team in any league.
Last fact is that the county seat that Birmingham resides also declared Bankruptcy in 2011. Which at the time was the largest Bankruptcy of a county until Detroit.
>Come to Alabama. Because every foreigner from Europe and Asia dreams of coming to Alabama.
Clearly
It'll probably be on youtube or streamed on the website.
Okay guys, we have to tune for that and meme it up.
>This particular edition (2013) made the laughable mistake of putting the words "word games" instead of "world games," on one thousand medals
>Didn't turn it into the ultimate spelling bee competition
One job.
yeah
>no crabcock
Explain to me why I would want to watch this.
>No swimming
DROPPED
