Update: Team Canada finished with a bronze medal!

The World Games runs from July 20-30 in Wroclaw, Poland. The "flying disc" portion of the event takes place from July 21-23.

This is the most elite ultimate event in the world. Why?

Only 6 countries qualify based on their WFDF World Rankings (top 5 plus the host country), and each team can only have 14 players. Their is only a mixed division with 7 women and 7 men on each team. Just like the Olympics, The World Games happens only once every four years...

The 6 competing teams are:

  •  USA
  •  AUS
  • CAN
  • JPN
  • COL
  • POL
