STAY ON TOP

OF WORLD EVENTS.

The following programs are brought to you by an incredible series of events.

Over 30 of them, to be specific.

They're the unforgettable events of our best-selling Games series.

First, World Games. Eight international events ranging from Sumo wrestling to cliff diving. Bull riding to weightlifting. Even skiing the Chamonix slalom.

There's our enormously popular Summer Games. Break records in track, swimming, diving, gymnastics and skeet shooting, just to name a few.

There's its equally acclaimed sequel, Summer Games II. Go for the gold in rowing, cycling, equestrian, fencing, the high jump, the triple jump, kayaking, and more.

Finally, there's the icy challenges of Winter Games. Wait'll you careen the tube in a bobsled. Fly the ski jump. Or choreograph an entire figure skating routine. You'll flip over the hot dog aerials. And beg for mercy in the Biathlon. And coming next summer, our newest Games program. (Better get ready to hit the beach.)

Now, it may seem like a lot to handle.

But don't let world events get the best of you.

VISIT EXOTIC LANDS AND

WIN OVER THE NATIVES.

There is a place, probably a long, long way from where you're sitting right now, where grown men actually wear dresses and throw telephone poles in the air as a sign of athletic prowess.

It is true.

There is another rather bizarre land where grown men actually throw themselves in the air as a sign of athletic prowess.

Right off the edge of a cliff.

We're talking, of course, about Scotland's famous Caber Toss and the death-defying divers of Acapulco.

Two of the events you'll find in World Games, the newest sequel in our bestselling "Games" series.

Here's your chance to dash around the globe as a big-time international athlete competing in 8 extraordinary sports.

Go stomach to stomach with a 400 pound sumo. Jump barrels in Germany. Try Canada's ridiculously difficult log roll. Or ski the brutal, wintry slopes of France.

Then it's back to the good old US of A to ride a bucking bull. And off again to bully Moscow with some heavy-duty weight lifting.

If you manage to upset enough countries, your name will be permanently inscribed in the World Hall of Fame.

This then, is a challenge of global proportions.

The question is, are you ready to go the distance?

World Games™

Yeeeeeeha! It's time to get in on some exciting, world-class sports you may have heard about but never played. Tough, brawny sports, like barrel jumping at a beautiful outdoor rink in Germany. Log rolling at a rugged, Canadian lumberjack camp. Bull riding in a hot and dusty rodeo in the American West. And log-tossing on the heather-splashed Scottish Highlands.

Jahuuuuuuuuuu! Es ist Zeit, ein paar spannende Sportarten als aller Welt kennenzulernen, von denen Sie wahrscheinlich schon mal gehört, die Sie aber sicher noch nie probiert haben. Harte, kernige Sachen, wie Faßspringen auf dem Eis in Deutschland. Baumstämmerollen in einem kanadischen Holzfällerlager. Bullenreiten bei einem heißen und staubigen Rodeo im amerikanischen Westen. Oder Caber-Werfen in den schottischen Highlands.

Johooo! Det är sannerligen på tiden att du deltar i några världsmästerskapstävlingar i sportgrenar du har hört talas om, med aldrig prövat på. Tuffa sporter för muskelknuttar, som t.ex. skridskohoppning över tunnor på en skridskobana i vacker natur i Tyskland.
Timmerstocksbalansering vid ett kanadensiskt skogshuggarläger i oländig mark. Tjurridning vid het och dammig riduppvisning i den amerikanska västern. Att störta stång på ljungmarkerna i de Skotska högländerna.

Yeeeah! Il est temps pour vous de vous mettre à certains sports de classe mondiale dont vous avez sans doute entendu parler, mais que vous n'avez jamais essayé. Des sports rudes et musclés, comme sauter par dessus des tonneaux sur une superbe patinoire en plein air en Allemagne. Courir sur des rondins flottants dans un camp de bûcherons au Canada. Chevaucher un taureau au cours d'un rodéo brûlant et poussiéreux du far-west. Lancer des troncs d'arbre dans les "hiqhlands" écossais recouverts de bruyères.

Ha llegado el momento de hacer algo interesante, deportes internacionales, de lo que posiblemente haya oído hablar, pero que nunca ha jugado. Deportes rudos, que requieren músculos, como el salto de bidones en una hermosa pista de hielo en Alemania. Equilibrio sobre troncos en un escarpado campo de leñadores de Canadá. La monta de toros en un rodeo caluroso y polvoriento del Oeste americano. Y el lanzamiento de troncos en las frías montañas de Escocia.

Yeeeeeha! È arrivata l'ora di cimentarsi in sport emozionanti e di livello internazionale di cui avrete sentito parlare ma che non avete mai provato a fare. Giochi difficili e duri come il salto dei barili in un bel campo all'aperto in Germania, la gara d'equilibrio sui tronchi in un accidentato campo di taglialegna canadese, la prova a cavallo dei tori in un rodeo caldo e polveroso nell'America dell'Ovest e ancora il lancio del tronco nelle Highlands scozzesi ricoperte d'erica.
