However, softball's return to the schedule this year is one exception to the rule. Brand new additions to The World Games this year include drone racing, canoe marathon, breakdancing, women's fistball, kickboxing, and parkour, while racquetball is back for the first time since 2013. One major development to note is that Russia, which has topped the medal charts at more World Games than any other nation, has been banned from this year's event, along with Belarus, which makes the US the firm favorite on home soil.
