The 2013 World Games (Template:Langx), the ninth World Games, were an international multi-sport event held in the city of Cali, Colombia, from July 25 to August 4.[1] It is the first edition of the World Games to be held in South America.

Host city allocation history

The 2013 World Games were initially allocated to the German cities of Duisburg and Düsseldorf. However, at the end of 2008, Duisburg withdrew and Düsseldorf dropped out because both cities could not secure enough funding, partly as a result of the 2008 financial crisis and the subsequent Great Recession.

Two alternate cities came forward to the IWGA to bid for these Games: Pretoria, South Africa and Cali, Colombia. During The World Games 2009 in Kaohsiung, Chinese Taipei, the IWGA announced that Cali has won the right to host The World Games in 2013.

Medal mistake

This particular edition made the mistake of putting the words "word games" instead of "world games," on one thousand medals.[6] This fact was reported by Colombian news organization Noticias Uno.[7][8] Several athletes smiled and were surprised upon seeing the typo.[9] According to the representative of the firm that engraved the medals, several authorities had seen and approved the medals' design without noticing the mistake, including Coldeportes director Andrés Botero, and the head of the Organizing Committee Rodrigo Otoya. The representative also stated that, according to a corporate policy, "... any mistake after the art has been approved (by the client) will not be responsibility of the Firm" [10] Regarding the medals, Rodrigo Guerrero, Mayor of Cali, stated that "This mistake in no way undermines the value of the medals, and the spirit of the games. People are making a tempest in a tea cup out of this situation."[11]
