Gay Games III - Celebration '90
Vancouver, Canada |
|
On 4 August at B.C. Place Stadium,
the third Gay Games became the first to take place outside of
the United States. The event also became the first to see Masters
world records broken (in swimming). Participants came from 27
countries — about 7,300 athletes competed in 27 sports,
and there were about 1,500 cultural participants. At the height
of the AIDS crisis, the Gay Games continued to serve as an inspiration
and had doubled in size once again.

results were provided by Metropolitan Vancouver Athletics & Arts
Association and published in the book “The Spirit Captured:
The Official Photojournal of Celebration ’90 – Gay Games
III & Cultural Festival” (For Eyes Press) in 1990. Participants
were not identified with city or team; however, some of that information,
as well as times, scores or other results, has been added from various
contemporary newspaper accounts. The Federation of Gay Games welcomes
corrections or additions such as other placements or the names of
members in team sports. Please send to info@gaygames.com.)
