 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. |
