The International World Games Association has opened the bidding process for The 10th World Games in 2017. In a PowerPoint presentation the IWGA has published preliminary information for candidate host cities. The first briefing for prospective bidders is now available from a dedicated website (click here).
The bidding and awarding process will be completed in two years’ time, when the contract is signed with the hosts for 2017. The IWGA has already received some expressions of interest by possible host cities, including the Polish capital Warsaw, the Hungarian capital Budapest, St. Petersburg (RUS and Louisville /Kentucky (USA).
With Cali (COL) being the host city, the 2013 games will be staged on the South American continent for the first time. In 2009 the harbour city Kaohsiung (TPE) hosted the 8th edition. There The World Games 2009 attracted approximately 1.7 million people. Duisburg (GER) staged The World Games 2005 and registered 500,000 visitors to the 11-day sports event.
The multi-sport event takes place every four years in the year following the Summer Olympics. It showcases 30+ non-Olympic sports, including DanceSport, Squash, Tug of War, Sumo or Karate. About 3,500 athletes from more than 100 countries fight for gold in their disciplines during The World Games.

That's an interesting match-upfor the 2017 World Games: 3 former Soviet bloc cities vs. one red-white-&-blue city.
But I think after 2013 being So. America, they would want 2017 to go to either Budapest or St. Petersburg.

Interests:Zaichiki na stene
Posle zakata umirayut
Myortvym legko vdvoine
Zaichiki gasnut, i zamykayut
Dvesti dvadtsat' na sebya
Obmotalsya, i vperyod!
Dvesti dvadtsat' na sebya
Dvesti dvadtsat' na neyo
Ty menya uchish zhdat'
I govorish smeshnye frazy
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/220-lyrics-tatu.html ]
A ya vsyo hochu otdat'
Esli lyubov' - znachit tol'ko srazu!

Esli lyubov' - znachit vsyo sgoraet!

Posle zakata umirayut
Dvesti dvadtsat' na sebya
Obmotalsya, i vperyod!

Cape Town has withdrawn its bid for the 2017 World Games citing financial implications.

Well, if anyone really cares, the decision to host these Games will occur on Thursday the 12th. After that, a "long wait" to sign the host city contract at Quebec City for the 2012 SportAccord meeting between the tentative host city committee and the IWGA.
