The bowling game was held at a bowling centre in Adelaide. It was very much impressive to see players tried their very best but still, had fun with one another.
Serious matches with no second take. Still, before and after the games are full of laughter and lovely chats among the players- they took pictures together, shook hands, did high-five. They visualised what sport spirits are like, and true communication were there through the games.
Both AMG and WMG are unique as sport players can do their familiar sports in an extraordinary setting- sports are becoming a form of communication and exchange with many other international players- so, what about experiencing these at the upcoming WMG2021 KANSAI?
