The Kaohsiung Organizing Committee officially announced some of the content of the World Games Opening Ceremony. The ceremony will highlight four elements: technology, ocean, steel, and light - all of which symbolize the main characteristics of the host city.

According to the art tirector, Chen Yu-chiou, 'the opening ceremony influences the success of an event and reflects the image of the hosts. It is inevitable that we present the best of us to the world.

'We hope to portray our indigenous culture and reflect our desire to be part of the international community,' the art director said.

There will be 4,000 performers participating in the ceremony on 16 July. One of them is New Zealand's singer Hayley Westenra. Click here!

Cali brings considerable experience to the challenging task of putting on The World Games in South America for the first time ever. Previously host to Pan American, South American and National Games, the city has embarked on a number of renovation projects to update its sporting infrastructure in time for 2013. A revamped main stadium serves as a venue for the FIFA U-20 World Cup to be held in Colombia in 2011 already.
