All all (ATR) One year ago this month the sands on the shoreline of the Persian Gulf in Doha were buzzing with sport. More than 1400 athletes from nearly 100 nations inaugurated the ANOC World Beach Games.
This five day event brings happy memories for ANOC secretary general Gunilla Lindberg, who helped oversee the event. She talks about the games and plans to keep them going in the premier edition of the ANOC Podcast at Around the Rings.
The podcast will be a monthly feature, delivering perspectives on the work of the world’s 206 National Olympic Committees.
