Guardian Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Gibraltar is an island???? Guess so. In fact, Gibraltar hosted the 1995 Island Games. Over 1,200 athletes from 18 "national entities" competed in 14 sports then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 well - maybe we should think about to abandon the European Championships in the sports, which are likely held at EUROPEAN SUMMER GAMES resp. EUROPEAN WINTER GAMES.... Absolutely not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wamel042 Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Speaking of what I found about the Island Games, I did. Here are the links:1. Official Island Games Website 2. Official Rhodes 2007 Island Games Wesite Also, these "national entities" are in these Games, but I thought they had much more participants than this before: - ALAND (Finland) - ALDERNEY (part of Guernsey) - BERMUDA - CAYMAN ISLANDS - FALKLAND ISLANDS (British overseas territory) - FAROE ISLANDS (part of Denmark) - FROYA (part of Norway) - GIBRALTAR (British overseas territory) - GOTLAND (part of Sweden) - GREENLAND (Danish overseas territory) - GUERNSEY (British overseas territory) - HITRA (part of Norway) - ISLE OF MAN (British territory) - ISLE OF WIGHT (British territory) - JERSEY (British territory) - MINORCA (Spanish territory) - ORKNEY (British territory) - PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND (province of Canada) - RHODES (part of Greece) - SAAREMAA (part of Estonia) - SARK (part of Guernsey) - SHETLAND (British territory) - ST. HELENA (British overseas territory) - WESTERN ISLES (British territory) - YNYS MON (British territory) And, yes, some of them even have their individual "national" flags. Does anybody know which islands can become members? There are far more island in the world..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wamel042 Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Absolutely not! Why not? Far more media-attention for major Games, than for individual Championships (except maybe athletics and soccer). All other sports would benefit from this new event!

4gamesandcounting Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 With so many European championships already established for most sports, it doesn't feel right to have a European Games as well does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arwebb Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 The only way it can happen is to get all the relevant governing bodies to scrap their existing European championships, and I don't see that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
