A total of 26 sports were part of the official programme, and in addition there were five invitational sports or disciplines. For the first time more than 3, athletes participated in The World Games. In total there were 3, 2, in the official programme plus in the invitational sports. There was also a record number of participating nations.
As in Akita in , Russia took first place in the medals table. In Duisburg the top-ranked team collected 27 gold medals, 19 silver medals and eleven bronze medals.
Once again the assumed home advantage was confirmed. The German team had achieved a better result only at the Games in Karlsruhe in also a German city. Canoe Polo made its debut at The World Games. Inline Hockey replaced Roller Hockey. Casting, on the other hand, was up to now on the programme for the final time. Beach Handball was again represented in the invitational sports. Since Cali, Colombia Beach Handball has been in the official programme. In Indoor Hockey was represented for the first and so far only time as an invitational sport, as well as Indoor Trial, a motor sport, and Nine Pin Bowling, a very popular sport especially in Germany.
The opening and closing ceremonies along with the ten days of competition were attended by a total of , spectators. A total of , visitors came to the Plaza, the cultural festival accompanying The World Games.
For the first time, the athletes entered the arena grouped by nation; previously the march-in was grouped by sport. A total of 23 competition venues were used. These included the facilities of a former iron foundry and a music theatre.
Another special feature was that Duisburg was able to use its Sportpark as a central event location. Nine competition venues were thus located within a radius of one kilometre. The Plaza and the stadium with the opening and closing ceremonies were also located here. Another central event location was the Landschaftspark Nord, the former iron foundry, used as the venue for a total of four sports.
Duisburg set new standards: first, the complete results service and accreditation were managed by Wige Data, later merged with Swiss Timing. As host broadcaster, Wige TV produced all sports from the semi-finals onwards. Wige TV also took over the marketing of the TV rights, with live broadcasts in Russia and China and a daily highlights show covering the competitions every day.
Almost 1, media representatives were accredited for the competitions. The World Games set further standards in terms of the preparation and the branding of the venues. The agency Von Mannstein had created a holistic design and CI concept that was used uniformly at all competition venues. The subsequent organiser Kaohsiung Chinese Taipei used a variation of this design for its Games.
They prepared athletes to enable them to perform at their best. As a mascot, the organisers presented a fantasy figure in the design of the Games. The name Allwin was a play on words with reference to the German first name Alwin and the English phrase "All win".
Regarding the legacy of the Games: The final agreement to build a new stadium in Duisburg was made possible by The World Games. The specially-built skating rink is still open to the public. Duisburg is a city in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany. The oldest places of the city dates back to the first century.
The city was located along an important medieval trade route at a crossing on the River Rhine. Due to the town's favourable geographical position, Duisburg became a member of the Hanseatic League.
