“The IMGA doesn’t allow building new venues and encourages the host cities to use existing facilities to keep the costs lower. Therefore, all sport information is subject to changes depending on the venues available.”
Athlete Comments & Reviews
“I motivated myself with a new goal”
“Having been out of it now for a decade, I needed a goal.”
“We play sport and discover new countries”
“We get to experience different countries, different places you wouldn’t possibly go to visit if it wasn’t for a sport. It’s a nice way of experiencing a new city.”
“Sport helps mentally and physically”
“Sport is so important, because it keeps you sharp. I don’t just mean physically but mentally as well. Everybody gets stressed by different things in their life and just being able to get out there and exercise, getting rid of a little bit of that tension can help you mentally as well physically.”
