The Military World Games may have received little publicity in Britain, which is not one of the 140 countries from Albania to Zimbabwe who participate, but it was one of the year’s greatest festivals of sport, attracting nearly 10,000 participants to the Chinese city of Wuhan in October.
As well as the standard mainstream disciplines – athletics, volleyball, sailing, gymnastics and the like – there are four different kind of pentathlon (naval, military, modern and aeronautical, since you ask) and militarily-relevant events such as parachuting and orienteering, the last of which is where the real excitement happened.
