Winter World War Games 2017

On May 22, 2015 in Kuwait, at the 70th General Assembly of the International Council of Military Sports (CISM), Sochi gave up another Olympics, which will take place exactly three years after the landmark (but already tainted by doping history) Games in 2014. From 22 to 28 February 2017, in the resort city, the World Winter Military Games is an analogue of the real Olympic Games, but exclusively for the military.

SCAPP understands what these games are and what to expect from them.

World War Games are Olympic Games among the active military personnel. By analogy with the Olympics, there are winter war games and summer ones. At the same time, participating countries often exhibit professional athletes who are listed in the armed forces, but are actually exempted from valid military service(serve one month a year for 10 - 12 years). For example, in the entire history of the winter military games such famous athletes like Martin Fourcade, Ariana Fontana, Dario Cologna, Evi Zachenbacher-Stele and Natalia Korosteleva.

Throughout history?

Do they have a story?

Yes. The first (summer) games took place in 1995 in Rome and were dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II. As for the winter games, they began to be held much later: the first competitions were held in March 2010 in the Italian city of Aosta. Then athletes from 43 countries took part in the games.

• 1995 - Rome, Italy
• 1999 - Zagreb, Croatia
• 2003 - Catania, Italy
• 2007 - Hyderabad, India
• 2010 (winter) - Aosta, Italy
• 2011 - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
• 2013 (winter) - Annecy, France
• 2015 - Mungyeong, Republic of Korea

So

Who is the organizer? IOC?

No, the International Olympic Committee has nothing to do with it. Organizer - CISM - International Council of Military Sports. The organization was founded in 1948 in Nice, France and now unites 134 countries. It is considered one of the largest international sports organizations, second in size only to the International the Olympic Committee and the International sports federation universities. By the way, CISM is officially recognized by the IOC and the UN.

OK

So there will be hockey at the games, figure skating and so on?

No. And although the sports included in the competition program sometimes change, figure skating and hockey are not held as part of the war games. For example, the program of the Winter Military Games in Sochi-2017 includes 8 sports:

• Biathlon

• Ski race

• Skiing

• Orienteering skiing

• Ski mountaineering

• Patrol Race

• Indoor sport climbing

• Short track

It's clear

And how do our people perform there at these war games?

Better than the Olympic team. Russian team participated in all summer games(except for 2011, when Russia refused to participate), where it took a confident first team-wide place (not counting 2003, when they surpassed China in the total number of medals, but lost in gold). And in 2015, the Russian national team generally established absolute record Summer War Games, winning a total of 135 medals (of which 59 are gold). If in summer we have no problems, then with the winter games the situation is worse: both times (in 2010 and in 2013) - 4th place.

What will happen in Sochi?

And where will all this go?

The III World Winter War Games will be held in Sochi from 22 to 28 February 2017. It is planned that more than 4,000 athletes from 60 countries will take part in the competition, who will compete for 44 sets of medals. For comparison, the last winter Games 850 athletes from 40 countries came to Annecy.

The opening ceremony will take place on February 23 (yes, on Defender of the Fatherland Day) at the Bolshoi Ice Palace. For the sports part, Olympic facilities will be involved: the Bolshoi Ice Palace (sport climbing), Iceberg Winter Sports Palace (short track), GTZ Gazprom (cross-country skiing, biathlon and ski orienteering), Rosa Khutor Group of Companies "(Alpine skiing and ski mountaineering). The closing ceremony of the Games will take place on February 27 at the Bolshoi Ice Palace.

In addition, a military sports torch relay is planned (again by analogy with the Olympic flame), the installation of a countdown clock before the start of the competition (in the main city squares) and the participation of the CSKA helicopter aerobatic team.
