och nu för första gången utanför Australien & Canada.

Ta med familjen till Italien i augusti, kombinera semester & denna multi-upplevelse där inte bara idrotten bidrar till evenemanget utan även omkringaktiviteter och turistattraktioner som du kan anmäla dig till i förväg (beskrivna på webbsidan, http://www.torino2013wmg.org/calendario?lang=en, Tours & Leisure Activities). Och din partner eller dina kompisar kanske vill deltaga i en annan sport -- Hur ofta får ni chansen att tävla i era olika sporter i samma tävling?
