Almost escaped my attention, but Salgado Martinez  (freediving) became the first athlete from his nation to win a medal at The World Games (in any sport, so far as I can tell).

You are correct, first ever medal for  at World Games. And he is the only athlete of the Cuban delegation.

Just noticed now that the softball, despite there being no competition on 11 and 12 August, has been entirely cancelled instead of postponed  

 

Double gold medal, meaning nobody can call themselves 'the 2025 World Games champion'.

So from past World Games experience, athletes are brought into the village on three shifts. I think the men's softball teams accommodations would've expired and I'm sure they have already had their flights home booked for months now and that would've been a logistical nightmare for the athletes and coaches. No big NGB to have someone do that for them at the Olympics. 

 

So despite having the two days of no games, it would've been impossible for the players to still be in Chengdu.

2nd Medal for  

 

Monika Chochlíková 

Muay Thai (W -54kg)

BRONZE MEDAL

 

 

Not the color we expected and were hoping for ... but yeah, still a medal.

 

Monika Chochlíková won her 3rd medal at the World Games today in a row but this time it was not gold like in Alabama (She has also silver in Kickboxing from there).

 

She had to move up to the -54kg this time which was clearly a handicap, that was visible mainly in the semifinal bout were she was quite unusually outclassed by her opponent, something she is definitely not used to... anyway, kudos to her, to not giving up and winning today´s bronze medal bout, which means she will return home with a bronze this time.
