World Games 2009

Mike and I are off on another adventure this summer, to Kaohsiung, Taiwan (ROC) to participate in the World Games 2009! The World Games are a sort of precursor to the Olympics for sports that don't have all the necessary qualifications to be in the Olympics yet but still have a significant international presence. Ultimate ("Flying Disc") has been in the World Games since 2001 in Akita, Japan. Check out the official website for more info on the Games and the sports/countries involved (linked above).

I owe my involvement in this whole adventure to so many friends, family, and Ultimate community members that have been so supportive of my Ultimate habit over the years, so I wanted to share the whole journey with you all. I'll be updating from Kaohsiung and beyond with frisbee and travel related posts if I have accessible internet. As far as I know they are not streaming the Flying Disc games, so this might be the best way to keep up with how Team U.S.A. is doing and what kind of crazy shenanigans we are getting into.
