It was one of the largest international sports and cultural events ever held in Denmark, with 8,000 people from all corners of the world expected to participate.

Famous quotes containing the word world:
“Some burn damp faggots, others may consume
The entire combustible world in one small room
As though dried straw, and if we turn about
The bare chimney is gone black out
Because the work had finished in that flare.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
