00:00.620 --> 00:05.250
(Reporter) Military athletes from all over the world met in Wuhan, China for the seventh

00:05.250 --> 00:10.080
Conseil International du Sport Militaire,
are also known as the CISM Military

00:10.080 --> 00:13.950
World Games. More than a hundred nations are participating in the two-week event

00:13.950 --> 00:19.020
that happens once every four years. China
went all out for the opening ceremony

00:19.020 --> 00:23.340
showing just how seriously they're
taking these games. Military athletes

00:23.340 --> 00:27.060
from the United States traveled across
the globe to compete in a wide range of

00:27.060 --> 00:31.140
sports to promote peace, cooperation, and friendship through sports within the

00:31.140 --> 00:34.829
international community. (Army Major Amber Jones) I know a lot of the judo athletes have made friends with

00:34.829 --> 00:37.950
other countries. I'm friends with other
countries. I've got friends on a Spanish

00:37.950 --> 00:41.899
team, the Brazilian team and, you know, we keep in touch even after the games.

00:41.899 --> 00:45.870
(Reporter) China's newly constructed athlete's
village was built specifically for the

00:45.870 --> 00:49.890
games with more than nine thousand
participants. It's a huge effort that

00:49.890 --> 00:52.710
demonstrates the international
community's commitment to step outside

00:52.710 --> 00:56.699
world politics, bringing the nations of
militaries together for friendly

00:56.699 --> 00:59.329
competition.
