(except for a Bronze Medal from the 2006 World

Junior Championships) this “new” Ultimate country
Pri
showed up in Vancouver with 5 teams (Open, e

Women, Mixed, Jr. Open, Jr. Women) and shocked

many opponents with their speed and skill. Only a
t
o
couple of very tough losses for the Jr. Women kept
Pho
my prediction of a medal for a Colombian team from
coming true, and with so much strength in their Jr.
Programs and a lot of enthusiasm for the sport it will
be a surprise indeed if they don’t start to challenge
for podium positions from here on out.
Not only are we seeing more teams fighting for
medals at the top, but there are an ever increasing
number of countries who are developing the sport
and will be looking to participate in the future. In
2012 we could see teams from Morocco, Israel, India,
Pakistan, Indonesia, Philippines, Korea, Brazil and
China joining those 20-25 countries who regularly
attend WUGC. Regional events in South America
and South East Asia and increased participation
in The European Club Series, as well as Ultimate’s
continues and growing participation at the World
Games points us towards a very bright future for the
sport. I can’t wait to see where we are going, and on
behalf of the Staff and Volunteers at WUGC 2008, or
we are very proud to have played a small part in the
yl
a
exciting history of Ultimate.
