He spoke of the important role that The World Games play in the Olympic Movement and declared an ambitious target for the upcoming edition. "It is our goal to see all National Olympic Committees taking part in The World Games 2017 Wroclaw," Perurena told the delegates. "Our games are your games," was the message he conveyed.
National Olympic Committees (NOC) were involved in The World Games ever since their first edition in 1981. Only a few in the beginning, their number increased with changes to the games' overall formula that were applied in 2005.
Under the recommendation # 6 of the Olympic Agenda 2020, which was adopted by the IOC last year in Monaco, NOC involvement is bound to increase further.
Lukas Hinder, the WDSF First Vice-President who serves on the IWGA Executive Committee since 1997, puts everything into perspective: "At first, only the NOCs of Belgium and Chinese Taipei gave outright sanction and support to their World Games delegations, sending a Chef de Mission and other charges along with the athletes.
"After we changed to a nationally representative format ahead of 2005 Duisburg, a number of the bigger NOCs started to do the same. Some did even more: take Germany for instance! The German Olympic Sports Confederation decides on the subsidies it grants to non-Olympic national sports federations on the basis of the results that they obtain in The World Games.
"After IOC and IWGA had signed a Memorandum of Understanding in 2000, the subsequent editions of The World Games were held under the patronage of the IOC. With the Agenda 2020 recommendation, collaboration between the two organisations will not only be closer, it will be more purposeful too.
"Certain decisions regarding the Sports Programme of future Games of the Olympiad could get taken during The World Games. That is precisely why WDSF must make every effort in 2017 Wroclaw to excel with its DanceSport events once more."
