    From July 25th to August 4th, 2013, the city of Cali, Colombia hosted the IX edition of the World Games. The World Games are held every four years and feature competitions in sports that are recognized by the International Olympic Committee but not included in the Olympic Games. Over 3,500 athletes from over 100 countries competed in 36 sports disciplines. The Colombian government invested over 100 billion pesos to adapt sports venues and infrastructure for the Games. However, a mistake was made with the medals, which were inscribed with the word "Word" instead of "World," causing amusement among athletes.

    Evidence: Reporting about a sport event

    Fuente: SENA

    Write a report about a coming sport event you like. It can be a local or an
    international event. Before writing the report you need to investigate about it.

    Consider the following questions for your report:

    • When and where will the event take place?


    • How many people are expected to attend it?
    • What is the event about?
    • How is the host country / city preparing to celebrate the event?
    • How many teams / Athletes will take part in the competition?
    • Are there new venues or accommodation facilities being built for the event?
    • Why are you interested in this event?
    • Why should people attend or follow the event?

    Aspects to consider when writing the report:

    • Include ideas and vocabulary related to sports learned in the study material.
    In the report, underline the ideas included. Include at least 3 ideas.
    • Use adverbial clauses in the report. Use at least 3 examples from each
    category (time, contrast and condition).
    • Use connectors and punctuation.
    Cali Word Games 2013

    From July 25, 2013 to August 4, 2013, the IX edition of the World Games was
    held in the city of Cali and for the first time in any Latin American city.

    This event, which takes place every four years, contemplates competition in
    sports that, despite being recognized by the International Olympic Committee,
    are not part of the Olympic Games. Before, Cali tried to host but only
    succeeded until this year. 36 sports disciplines participated in this version and
    the Valle department welcomed more than 3,500 athletes from more than one
    hundred nationalities for its development.

    This event is developed every four years and it is the International Association
    of the World Games, in charge of carrying them out. This version also coincided
    with the city's 477th anniversary. For the choice of this city, it was also taken
    into account that it had hosted the Pan American Games in 1971 and the U-20
    World Cup in 2011.

    As soon as it became known that Cali would be the headquarters, the


    Colombian Government at the head of Coldeportes invested a sum of more
    than 100 billion pesos, which was used to adapt sports venues and
    infrastructure.

    The mascot of the games was a design inspired by the diversity of birds in the
    country and in particular a fairly traditional one from the region known as
    Bichofué.

    Before the event ended, it happened that days after the competitions opened,
    the athletes and organizers realized a mistake in the medals, since instead of
    having the inscription "World Games", the word written on them was "Word". In
    this way the medals did not refer to the event but to the literal translation of
    "Play on Words".

    While the error went unnoticed by the organization's representatives, as well as


    by suppliers and managers, it caused a stir among athletes and the media.

    The medals were arranged before the culmination of the event and between
    shame and laughter, this detail was one for which this version of the World
    Games remained in immortality.
