There are just two weeks to go until Final Entries close for the IWAS Under 23 World Games 2016 (29 June – 3 July)! The 12th edition of the Games for athletes under 23 years of age will be hosted in the Czech capital of Prague where athletes will participate in Arm Wrestling, Athletics, Swimming, Table Tennis, Wheelchair Tennis and Wheelchair Fencing over four days of competition (preliminary sports programme).

Following a fruitful IWAS site visit and with the recent announcement of the Opening Ceremony to be held in the iconic Old Town Square in the centre of Prague, preparations are in full swing for a successful Games!
