World Outgames sports program determined
Copenhagen, Denmark – Gold, silver and bronze medals in 38 different sporting events will be up for grabs during the World Outgames in Copenhagen from 25 July to 2 August 2009
The program includes team and individual sports ranging from aerobics to volleyball for amateur athletes of every level. Even a winter sports program featuring ice hockey, figure skating and curling is on the program.
“The World Outgames 2009 will mark the first time that a winter sports tournament has ever been held in Denmark.” said Tommy Kristoffersen, sports director for the World Outgames 2009.
“Interest for these events, especially from North America, was so strong that we felt it important to include these disciplines even though the facilities are normally not in use,” said Tommy Kristoffersen.
The entire program is being developed with the tremendous assistance of local, national and international sports organizations who are providing the facilities and logistical support that will make the World Outgames 2009 in Copenhagen an open, competitive, fair and positive experience for all of the participating athletes, officials, volunteers, fans and sponsors.
In addition to the various tournaments, a series of workshops to be announced in 2008 are also being planned. All of the events will be held at 8 venues easily accessible venues throughout the city. See the complete list of sporting events and a map of the different venues below.
