The 4th CISM Military World Games are about to begin in Hyderabad. CISM (International Military Sports council) has 127 members and more information can be found at their website here.
I am surprised at how much this event has been underplayed because I am barely finding out that 105 countries are going to be participating in a championship second only in magnitude to the Olympics in Hyderabad. Also, why I am sharing this piece of information with all of you.
I do hope that the event gets the publicity it deserves and we hear more from it in the coming days, not to mention that the Indian contingent wins a medal or two.

:)
didnt know abt this at all. tnxx for spreading the word girl!
Keshi.
Lets see whether the chakde magic is still continue for India :-)
I also came to know about it in the morning only... I guess we don't hear about it is due unavailability of sponsors... And BTW, it's good to know that along with Hyderabad, Mumbai also is hosting 3 events - Oct 17 (Wed), Oct 19 (Fri) and Oct 21 (Sun)... Let's see if I could just see at least on of these....
this is some coincidence aditi - i heard about this the first time just NOW - and i come to your blog, and u post about it. some telepathy huh!
I had no idea there were games like these. Thank you for the info. Do they have all the Olympic disciplines and does India as a host country get to showcase some of it's own sports?
Its always that cricket hogs the limelight and everythg else is shadowed ..hope india excels ..
@ mm
yeah...i agree
@ keshi
=)
@ pijush
well atleast in the sharp shooting competition we should win thanks to our olympic win
@ dust unsettled
didnt know when those were thanks for letting me know
@ dharmabum
or just really bad publicity which is finally waking up and spreading the meagre word simultaneously?
@ sanjay
I am sure neither nor is the case. Fairly sure that its not all the olympic games because the website seemed to list only a handful few. But its only the 4th time this event is being held so we should watch for it to fully grow and establish itself
@ backpakker
agreed
I also feel this event needs more publicity & with so much hoopla about cricket these games just remain in the sidelines...Thanks for sharing about the games!
whether its ur(=common people) ignorance or anything else, cricket is the only thing tht will be rebucked by everyone....and at ur blog too,cricket is getting ill treatment...too gd to be a sportperson in india...if u do good, gr8, if not...blame it on cricket. =)
Never heard about this.I am glad u are spreading the word.Good job Aditi.
Didnt know about this. Thanks for sharing. Will keep my fingers crossed for India :)
@ kalyan
publicity, adequate sponsors and public interest..all matter .. u're right
@ naren
okk
@ starry
yea i thought something of this magnitude needed to be better publicised
@ ash
=) hopefully we should be bring home a few medals
Ahan...this is something new. Hyderabad as a venue is excellent but. The partcipants will have a ball and hope there are a few watchers as well :)
The fact that so many of us had no clue about this is saddening...
@ bhavesh
yep we will find out how it goes
@ supernova
yeah truly saddening but lets hope we can get better at it
its the corporates who need to push it. and to push it - we need to watch it. but we're too busy watching cricket no? mentally challenged that we are, running around chasing a leather ball in long pants.
sigh.
