The World Dwarf Games 2023 are over. We're celebrating the Success of the WDG2023 and are looking forward to the WDG2027 in Australia.

WDG

The World Dwarf Games are the largest international sporting event held exclusively for athletes with dwarfism. Its goal is to attract athletes with dwarfism from around the world to participate in sports.

The 8th World Dwarf Games were held from 28th July - 5th August 2023 at the Deutsche Sport Hochschule (German Sports University) in Cologne, Germany. Athletes of all ages and every level of ability participated in team and individual sports and explored their own athletic abilities with others of similar stature. More than 500 athletes from over 20 countries competed in Cologne, Germany.

Although it's impossible to explain all that even occurred within these eight days, we were blessed to have L'Accord Filmproduktion on site every day to put together THE 8TH WORLD DWARF GAMES OFFICIAL FILM.
