I’m not sure about that. I’m pretty pleased with the nations this event has managed to draw, and don’t get me started on how all team sports have dominat nations

I mean the Southeast Asian teams are decent. I would imagine the US will build up a team for the 2021 World Games

22 gold medals among men and women. Switzerland won one, Sweden and Finland shared all others..

Ok it's a melting pot of diversity compared to korfball and kabaddi, but still. Which all doesn't necessarily make the sport in itself less fun of course

In men's the best are some 11th places by USA and Canada.
