In the end, Gabriele and Anna managed to make it to the very top ... Even if they didn't win the "IWGA Athlete of the Year" award, they come in first among the "Teams" against competition from from four strong contenders: USA Mixed Ultimate; CHN Women's Tug of War; CHN Men's Acrobatic Gymnastics Group and AUT Ju-jitsu Duo.

Born to win! Nato per vincere! We thought that they came in fourth, down by a few thousand votes in the poll, and then we learn that they continue winners after all.

But we also take pride in being a genuine team sport and a mixed-gender one at that ... By default and for more than a century already. Korfball and Mixed Ultimate are the other 100% mixed-gender team sport on the programme of The World Games.
