The World Games showcases many exciting sports not found in the Olympics. One interesting example is Orienteering. This outdoor activity tests both fitness and map-reading skills. Competitors use detailed maps to find their way through natural areas like forests. They race to reach a series of marked points in the correct order as fast as possible. Athletes choose their own paths between points, thinking about the land’s shape, existing paths, and how easy it is to move through different places. Races vary in length: Middle Distance events typically take elite competitors around 30 minutes, while Sprint events in parks or towns are usually completed in about 15 minutes.
Finswimming shows amazing speed underwater. Swimmers wear either one large fin or two smaller ones. They race either on the water’s surface breathing through a tube, or underwater while holding their breath. The World Games includes different styles: Surface (SF) using a monofin and a snorkel, Bi-Fins (BF) using two fins and a snorkel, and Apnea (AP), where swimmers use a monofin and race entirely underwater holding their breath over a set distance.
Fistball is an exciting team sport. Two teams of five players face each other across a net on a grass court. Players hit the ball with a fist or arm, trying to make the other team fail to return it. Unlike volleyball, the ball must bounce once on the ground before being hit, and it can also bounce once between each of a team’s three allowed touches. Teams score points when opponents miss the ball, hit it out, or let it bounce twice. The action is fast and exciting.
Drone Racing represents modern air sports. Pilots fly small, fast drones using remote controls. They wear special goggles showing a live video feed from the drone’s camera. These four-engine drones can reach maximum speeds of over 150 km/h. Races feature several drones flying together around difficult obstacle courses, indoors or outdoors, with a typical three-lap race taking between 1.5 and 4 minutes to complete. Pilots need quick reactions and steady hands to control these extremely fast machines. This sport creates an immersive feeling of high-speed flight for pilots and exciting viewing for spectators, helping it grow quickly around the world.
