Argentina competed at the World Games 2017[1] in Wrocław, Poland, from July 20, 2017 to July 30, 2017.
It was Argentina's eleventh World Games, and was one of 102 countries that participated.
The delegation was composed of forty-three athletes, including both males and females, who competed in eight sports. However, the team didn't receive official support from the Nation's Secretary of Sports, and only athletes who could fund their own trips were able to compete.
Among those who qualified but were not able to attend were the gymnasts Lucas Adorno and Mara Colombo.
In total, Argentina won six medals: three gold, one silver, and two bronze, which earned Argentina the twenty-third position in the medal count.
With three gold medals, Argentina broke its record of medals, which was accomplished in 2009 in Kaohsiung and achieved the best performance in its history.[2]
