Interesting, doesn't show up in the IWGA database. However, a check of my own results collection confirms it

At last the True World Games starts with Women's Softball!

 

And to mark the occasion, everyone is using their formal names - The People's Republic of China play the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

The term Kingdom signifies that the team contains players from both the European and the Caribbian  part of the kingdom. AFAIK it’s never used in any sport than baseball/softball. Probably because the only other sport with a Caribbian influence is Athletics, more specific the men’s short distance events.

And Holland  take it 3-1!   

 

And we also have Sambo starting, which is a combat sport, not to be confused with Samba in Latin Dancing, which is NOT a combat sport.

I must say that this version of the field bow is very nice, perhaps a little more casual.

Gold for Borsani in the field! I was starting to think Italians were allergic to gold.

Brazil's comeback is insane! Trailing 2-0 against Switzerland in the women's fistball final, they're now tied at 2-2. Wow.
