Over 85 sports were organised in Chemnitz, many of which could be tried out during the week. For example, speed skating - but completely without ice - on a slippery mat, or wheelchair basketball, where everyone was allowed to play in a sports wheelchair.
Those who wanted to do sport in a group could take part in one of the many tours, hiking, inline skating or, for the little ones, on a balance bike, and discover Chemnitz and the region.
At the end of the event, a Chemnitz team from the district association played against the traditional team of Fortuna from the twin city of Düsseldorf.
