BMX Racing at the World Games (historical)
The International World Games Association (IWGA) organizes the World Games every 4 years.
Thus, an International Sports Federation (IF) can become a member of the IWGA; it must
satisfy two essential conditions:
The IF must be a member of GAISF (the umbrella organization for all (Olympic and non-Olympic)
international sports federations), and their sport does not belong to the current Olympic program.
Since 1989, the World Games are under the special patronage of the IOC.
Only at the 3rd World Games 1989, Jul 14-16 in Karlsruhe
FRG, BMX (I.BMX.F rules) was a demonstration sport.
