What is the Fringe Games?
Top The Fringe Games is an international festival of new and experimental sports. The first Fringe Games will be held in Christchurch, New Zealand from the 8th to the 11th of September 2000. It will offer an exciting line-up of new athletic and cycling events as well as some innovative ways of performing existing ones. It will not only feature new ways of running, jumping and throwing, but also completely new sports created for the unique environment of the athletic track. Some events will be freestyle and a few will be mixed, in line with the aim of opening up new possibilities in sporting competition. As well, there will be exhibitions of lesser known sports from around the world and demonstrations of events that may be included at future games. New events in skateboarding and inline skating will be included as demonstration events and these will be announced in 2000. An open convention will be held after the games to consider new events.
