Talk:List of 2013 World Games medal winners

Sumo Middleweight Men
For the men's Sumo Middleweight event, the bronze medalist is listed in IWGA database on 10-25-2015 as "Atsamaz KAZIEV - RUS". The silver medalist is listed in IWGA database as "Istvan ASZTALOS - HUN". The database is at http://www.theworldgames.org/the-world-games/results-history

However, at the Cali World Games site (http://worldgames2013.sportresult.com/NH/en/300/Medal/MedalCountry/MGL?medal=Bronze&medalKind=DefaultSports) "Usukhbayar OCHIRKHUU - MGL" is listed as the bronze medalist, and "Atsamaz KAZIEV - RUS" is shown as the silver medalist. Istvan KALMAR of Hungary, it can be seen, was disqualified during the gold medal match with the Ukrainian who won the gold. The final result at this site shows Kalmar not receiving any medal. Thus the 3rd-place match produced the silver and bronze medalists from Russia (Kasiev) and Mongolia (OCHIRKHUU).

However, a generic qualifying statement at the bottom of each web page at that Cali Games site states, "Presented results data are not official. Only PDF files contain official results." I presume that means the PDF files available at http://worldgames2013.sportresult.com/NH/en/300/Pdf/Resultbook. The section in the Sumo PDF report for the men's middleweight event states it was produced on Friday, July 26, 2013. In that PDF, Istvan Kalmar is listed on Page 35 as the silver medalist, and Kasiev as the bronze medalist.

What is the true story here? Was Kalmar disqualified only from the final match, or was he disqualified from the entire medal competition? Note that the results shown as of this date in the Wikipedia overall Cali 2013 medal table are consistent with Kalmar having been disqualified, and Kasiev and Ochirkhuu receiving the silver and bronze medals, respectively.

 * I have found the answer. At the website of the International Sumo Federation, http://www.ifs-sumo.org/ifs-w-games2013.html, it is stated that Istvan Kalmar was stripped of his silver medal because of a positive doping test:
 * INDIVIDUAL TOURNAMENT
 * MEN
 * Middle-Weight
 * 1st. GORDIENKO, Oleksandr(UKR)
 *  2nd. KALMAR, Istvan(HUN) Doping Posihve Test
 * 2nd. KAZIEV, Atsamaz(RUS)
 * 3rd. OCHIRKUU, Usukhbayar(MGL)

Roller Sports Road Skating - an invitational sport?
At the Cali Games web site that is referenced in this article (http://worldgames2013.sportresult.com/NH/en/300), there are only four sports listed as invitational sports. Road Roller Skating is not one of them. Note that the Wikipedia overall Cali 2013 medal table includes the results of all eight Road Roller Skating events, but not the medal results for the other four sports listed correctly as invitational sports. By what source is it stated that Road Roller Skating is an invitational sport? How can this discrepancy be explained? Jeff in CA (talk) 20:46, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
