For the first time ever, the Federation of Gay Games is attending the World Sport for All Congress, held this year at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland, under the patronage of the International Olympic Committee, the World Health Organization, and SportAccord.
The FGG is represented by Officer for Ceremonies Darl Schaaff of Anchorage, Alaska who is currently residing in Cologne, Germany in anticipation of Gay Games VIII which open on 31 July.
Among the presentations to look out for is that of the Norwegian Olympic Committee on the integration of the fight against homophobia at all levels of sport.
