2019 World Games Update 4

Mike and Karen Garrison are parents to Colin, Missouri’s sole athlete competing at the 2019 World Games in Abu Dhabi, UAE. 

A big hello to all of Colin’s support team,

Today has been much quieter and less eventful than yesterday. Colin and the men didn’t compete today. Just the women.

We watched several of the women’s matches and some other sports. Very close competition among such diverse countries. We were intrigued to see a Bocce match between the Isle of Man and Timor Leste. Not two countries who probably compete against each other often.

We briefly saw Colin today. The guys went to the beach. We’re not sure what the body of water is. They just got their feet wet and walked the beach.

Tomorrow and Wednesday everyone competes in doubles. So we’ll be on the edge of our seats again!

Thanks for the many great messages of support. We’ve shared them all with Colin. He grins ear to ear to hear from everyone.

We’ll send an update on doubles tomorrow. Busy day of matches tomorrow and Wednesday. Go USA!

Take care and many thanks.
