Contents: INTRODUCTION LATEST NEWS ATTENDING THE GAMES THE WORLD-CLASS GAMES VENUES BROADCAST MEET THE DETERMINED …AND FINALLY Latest News: WORLD GAMES TO WELCOME A RECORD 192 NATIONS As the UAE gears up to host the most unified Games in the 50-year history of the Special Olympics movement, new Special Olympics programs have been established in 13 countries across the world, taking the total number of programs participating in a World Games to its highest ever at 192. The UAE has been at the forefront of a large-scale initiative to encourage and support the development of Special Olympics in international locations where programs did not previously exist, broadening access to dedicated training and opportunities to showcase talent for people with intellectual disabilities. Home to more than 200 nationalities, the UAE’s diverse society and culture of unity and warm hospitality are reassuring factors in making the journey to the World Games for the first time, enabling young and aspiring athletes with intellectual disabilities to enter an international competition and benefit from the enriching experiences to be gained from participation. 22 nations: • Africa o Burundi o Cape Verde o Chad o Congo o Equatorial Guinea o Guinea o Guinea Bissae o Lesotho o Liberia o Madagascar o Mozambique o Niger o South Sudan • Asia Pacific o Nauru o Solomon Islands o Marshall Islands o Palau o Micronesia • MENA o Comoros o Djibouti • North America o Barbados o Antigua DUBAI TO HOST THREE SPORTS COMPETITIONS FOR WORLD GAMES The emirate of Dubai will host three Special Olympics sports during the World Games in March. Complementing eight world-class venues in the UAE capital, Abu Dhabi, where the majority of the 24 officially sanctioned Olympic-style sports will be held, Dubai’s state-of-the- art Hamdan Sports Complex will host the World Games swimming competitions and La Mer will host the Open Water Swimming rounds, while the highly-anticipated athletics competitions will be held at Dubai Police Academy. Hosting three Games sports competitions in Dubai will provide athletes in the two largest single participatory sports an opportunity to experience the world-class facilities and sport expertise of Dubai while further increasing awareness and engaging the Special Olympics movement among UAE residents. This will enable even more people to cheer on the athletes and witness their achievements. H.H. SHEIKH MOHAMED BIN ZAYED AL NAHYAN MEETS WITH SPECIAL OLYMPICS HOST TOWN COMMITTEES His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, met with the Host Town committees of the World Games and Her Excellency Hessa bint Essa Buhumaid, Minister of Community Development, at the Sea Palace in Abu Dhabi. The Host Town program will be held from 8 – 11 March and will be the largest cultural exchange program in the Middle East and North Africa. The program will include visits to tourist sites and inclusion in UAE cultural experiences, in addition to providing workshops and opportunities for athletes to share their stories with local students. It is the first milestone event that will be experienced by the delegations upon arriving in the UAE. They will experience the rich culture and history of the UAE ahead of their participation in the Games, with over 7,500 athletes and 3,000 coaches from 192 nations visiting one of the seven emirates to live, eat and breathe true Emirati life.

    HÖJDPUNKTER DECEMBER 2015 EUROSPORT 1 och EUROSPORT 2 EUROSPORT Ny grafisk profil och ny roll Ingen har väl missat att Eurosport under november bytt logotyp och nu står som avsändare för all sport inom Discovery Networks Sweden. Men skulle du behöva veta mer om det är det bara att gå in i Discovery Networks Swedens pressrum på MyNewsdesk eller kontakta Eurosports pressavdelning. HANDBOLL Handbollsfest när Sveriges damer VM-spelar i Danmark Damernas handbolls-VM avgörs i Danmark 5-20 december och direktsänds på Kanal 5, Kanal 9 och Eurosport 2. Sverige har fått en bra lottning och slipper i gruppspelet möta regerande världsmästarna Brasilien, Serbien som kom tvåa senast och Danmark som bärgade bronset. VM har avgjorts sedan 1957 och årets upplaga är nummer 22 sedan starten. Sedan 1993 avgörs VM vartannat år, förra gången i Serbien. 24 lag fördelade på fyra grupper har kvalificerat sig till turneringen och de fyra första i varje grupp går vidare till 16-delsfinal. Grupp A med hemmanationen Danmark spelar sina matcher i Jyske Bank Boxen i Herning, grupp B med Sverige gör upp i Næstved Arena i Næstved, grupp C med världsmästarna Brasilien möts i Kolding-Hallen i Kolding och grupp D med bland andra Norge kämpar i Arena Nord i Frederikshavn. Semifinalerna, bronsmatchen och finalen spelas alla i Herning. Ryssland är den framgångsrikaste nationen i dam-VM med fyra titlar (2001, 2005, 2007 och 2009) och därtill har Sovjetunionen på andra plats vunnit tre gånger (1982, 1986 och 1990). Sverige har den näst största segermarginalen i VM-historien med 66-21 mot Australien 2009.
