At the beginning of the 20th century, another multi-sport event, the Nordic Games were first held. These Games were held in Scandinavia, and the sports conducted were winter sports such as cross country skiing and speed skating. The Nordic Games were last held in 1926, after which the 1924 Winter Sports Week in Chamonix was declared the first Olympic Winter Games.

In the 1920s, all kinds of other multi-sport events were set up. These were usually directed for a selected group of athletes, rather than everybody, which was - basically - the case with the Olympic Games. The Soviets organised the first Spartakiad in 1920, a communist alternative to the 'bourgeois' Olympic Games, and in 1922 the University Olympia was organised in Italy, the forerunner of the World University Games, meant for students only. Regional Games were another kind of multi-sport event that was established, such as the Far Eastern Championship Games or the Central American and Caribbean Games.

Women's American football

Fairly recently, women have begun playing full-contact American Football. Most leagues play by the same rules as their male counterparts. Women primarily play on a semiprofessional or amateur level in the United States. Because of its relatively new development, very few high schools or colleges offer the sport solely for women and girls; however, on occasion, it is permissible for a female player to join the regular male team.

The Long Beach Aftershock is a women’s professional football team.

The Aftershock was founded in May 2002, by many players who won the first Women’s World Bowl as part of the California Quake, of the now disbanded Women's American Football League (WAFL).

In their first season, the Aftershock won the only championship of the AFWL in 2002 led by head coach Anthony Bartley beating the San Diego Sunfire by a score of 12-7. Then they joined the Women's Professional Football League (WPFL) in its 5th season. The WPFL is the longest running women’s tackle league in the U.S..

A multi-sport event is an organized sporting event, often held over multiple days, and featuring competition in many different sports between organized teams of athletes from (mostly) nation-states. The first major, modern, multi-sport event of international significance was the modern Olympic Games.

Many regional multi-sport events have since been founded, modeled after the Olympics. Most have the same basic structure. Games are held over the course of several days in and around a "host city," which changes for each competition. Countries send national teams to each competition, consisting of individual athletes and teams that compete in a wide variety of sports. Athletes or teams are awarded gold, silver, or bronze medals for first, second, and third place respectively. The games are generally held every four years, though some are annual competitions.
