MORE ON THE TOPIC:
Good thinking for creating such games and I hope participating countries grow over time.
But are you thinking what I’m thinking? The author too probably thinks the same way or knows something, my take for using “typical” for the winners announcement. Do host countries receive a boost or extra points, or is it because their teams are more familiar with that particular competition’s conditions which their countries are hosting?

Nice, but just 1 question.
The teams comprised Russia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, China, Kazakhstan, India, Iran, Mongolia and Uzbekistan. Now when I went to Kazakhstan, I never saw a black face…. since when ?
I am not saying anything negative, I am just surprised…. where are the black guys from ?.
There were way more teams participating but they were not among winners. Here’s the full list. http://armygames2019.mil.ru/results_countries Such cooperation within army games is a way more important than just games. It’s a great way to develop ties between militaries. I’m sure that NATO is worried looking at that list. World is much bigger than NATO.
Oh right thanks… just looked up your site, interesting thanks.
But that is so different what most sites say…. “2019 International Army Games – It was planned to be organized in 32 disciplines hosted in 10 countries starting on August 3, 2019 in Korla. Russia, India, China, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Iran, Mongolia, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan are the countries hosting it”.
