July 7 - July 17.
The World Games is a multi-sport event held every 4 years on the year following the Summer Olympics, featuring sports and disciplines not contested at the Olympics.

A few sports I was interested in were Parkour (Speedrun, Freestyle), Sport Climbing (Boulder, Speed, Lead), and Drone Racing.
The Olympics had Sport Climbing, but all three disciplines were part of the single Combined event.

Japan put up a strong showing in Sport Climbing, winning 6 medals.
Miho Nonaka, who won Silver in Tokyo, won Gold in Women's Bouldering, Japan's only Sport Climbing Gold medal at these games.
Hikari Izumi also won Bronze medals in both Women's Parkour disciplines. The Gold and Silver medals went to Miranda Tibbling and Noa Man in Women's Speedrun, and Noa Man and Miranda Tibbling in Women's Freestyle.
Most of the medals in Breakdancing were between USA and Japan, with Ami Yuasa winning gold in B-Girls.
Most of the Gold and Silver medals in Sumo were between Japan and Ukraine.
Japan also won Gold in both Men's and Women's Lightweight Powerlifting.
