The All-Africa Games, sometimes called the African Games or the Pan African Games, are a continental multi-sport event held every four years …

The first Games were held in 1965 in BrazzavilleCongo. … 30 countries, around 2,500 athletes competed. Egypt topped the medal count for the first Games. …

The combination of attendance, community outreach, local corporate support, fan activities, a great venue and athletic excellence made this year’s P&G Championships the most successful since USA Gymnastics introduced the current national championship format in 2005. More than 33,000 people attended the P&G Gymnastics Championships that concluded Sunday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, a 35 percent increase from when Indianapolis hosted the event in 2005. …
