1934 Women's World Games

Multi-Sport Games

The 1934 Women's World Games were the fourth edition of the international games for women, held between 9 and 11 August 1934 at the White City Stadium in London, United Kingdom. They were the last athletic games exclusively for women, and a planned fifth tournament for 1938 in Vienna was cancelled because women were allowed to compete in all regular athletics events at the Olympic Games and other international events. The 1938 European Athletics Championships were the first major tournament to follow, although that tournament was split into two separate events, and the 1946 European Athletics Championships were the first combined championships for both men and women.
