~ On the penultimate day of The World Games 2025, old and new faces emerged victorious in Chengdu. "VAN" (Sports Desk - 17.08.2025) :: The familiar strength of Germany’s Canoe Polo programme shone through, winning both Men and Women’s gold medal matches convincingly. Alicia Baumert (FRA) however bucked the TWG trend in the Women’s Barebow gold medal match as she outshot Cinzia Noziglia (ITA), the previous winner of the last two editions. There was a new face and country for gold as well in the form of Benin. Marcel Gbetable won the African country their first ever gold medal in The World Games, becoming the 80th nation to appear on Chengdu podiums. The figure was 73 in TWG Birmingham 2022 and amazingly there’s still one more day left in Sichuan.
