"My heart is filled with gratitude." A year-end message from IWGA President José Perurena. As 2025 comes to a close, we celebrate the most extraordinary edition of The World Games to date. From the inaugural Torch Relay to the launch of The World Games Live, we have expanded our global footprint like never before. Beyond the numbers (including a massive 4.2 billion social media impressions!), this year was about inclusiveness and diversity. With 35 sports and 60 disciplines, our athletes proved that the spirit of competition knows no bounds. To our hosts in Chengdu, our incredible athletes, and our fans all over the world - THANK YOU ❤️ Wishing our entire The World Games Family a joyful holiday season and a healthy 2026. Let’s keep reaching higher! Read the whole message: theworldgames.org/news/End-of-the-Year-IWGA-President-Message-2763 (the link is in our bio) #TWG2025 #WeareTheWorldGames
