World Police and Fire Games 2005
I'm a little late on this, but I ran across the website for the World Police and Fire Games today. The games for 2005 finished on July 5. So what exactly is this event? This from the official website:
Every other year since 1985, the World Police & Fire Games Federation has been staging a one-of-a-kind event.This international rendez-vous highlights the cultural uniqueness of the host country and the ethnic diversity of participating athletes. Representatives from four professions related to public safety take part in the Games with a single goal—surpassing themselves in the spirit of sport!
The World Police & Fire Games (WPFG), now the second largest international sporting event after the famed Summer Olympics, attracts more and more athletes each time they are held. With their wide variety of disciplines, the WPFG offer an unrivalled display of amateur athletic performance.
The symbolic torch of these Games burns even brighter thanks to the warm and friendly spirit of camaraderie that prevails!
There are 62 sports including events you would find at the Olympics such as track and field, boxing and soccer. Other sports that aren't traditionally found at the Olympics include angling, golf, tug-of-war, and ultimate firefighter.
The next games are scheduled for Adelaide, Australia in 2007. Better start training now!
