The Aim Games K20 Forest Nightmare Recap
The Aim Games K20 Forest Nightmare has come to an end, and what an event it was! With over 1,000 entries from 18 different countries, it was the largest global sports throwing tournament in history. Our top athletes represented many cultures and nations, showcasing the diversity of our sport.
At The Aim Games, we aim to support martial artists worldwide, enabling athletes in developing nations to learn, train, improve, and compete with grandmasters without travel and 100% for free, with no strings attached.
As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we have been in operation for 9 years and are proud to have received over $650,000 USD in donations this year from donors, mostly in Silicon Valley. Thanks to our sponsors, we had an excellent prize pool.
Hosting athletes from so many nations is an honor for our dedicated 6-person team. We were thrilled to welcome participants from Indonesia, Sweden, Poland, mainland China, Latvia, Italy, France, and many other nations, along with experts from the USA, UK, and Canada. In fact, K20 was over twice as large as the previous record.
What's more, we paid out over $42,000 USD in awards to our Top-200 athletes. For athletes in developing nations, our prizes are often life-changing, enabling a path to a better life for hard-training martial artists and sports throwers. We were proud to provide Ukrainian athletes the opportunity to represent their nation and compete on their home soil during wartime, with 15 athletes from Ukraine participating in K20 and one finishing in our Top-10.
Thank you to all who participated in The Aim Games K20 Forest Nightmare and helped make it such a success. We look forward to continuing to support martial artists worldwide and hosting even more athletes from around the globe in the future.
