De_Gambassi 896 Posted August 28, 2018 #352 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Did you knew there was such a thing as the 'Atlantic Games' ? It runs since 1995 and it's open to youngsters from the 'Atlantic Arc' ( ) ang in swimming this year because why not. Only water sports are contested, because you know, the Atlantic is not a volcano. Don't expect any livestream, now go shine in society with your new knowledge. Olympian1010, heywoodu and Griff88 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
