 A
new decade and Jeux Sans Frontières builds on the success of the first
two 'revival' series, by expanding to six teams. Sadly, this series was the
first ever JSF competition not to feature the Belgians, who were in
there at the very beginnings of the series in 1965. They did not return in
any subsequent JSF series. On the plus side, Spain made a comeback
after their year's sabbatical and Yugoslavia returned also. They had
previously been JSF competitors between 1978 and 1982. The year ended
with a spectacular one-off winter event in Macao, a Portuguese territory in
Asia.
The number of games played in each heat changed again this
year, reduced from twelve games to ten. For the first time in the main
International series (excluding the 1965 and 1966 contests), all teams
participated in every game. |
