Gay Games VII were held in June 2006 in Chicago. There were about 12,000 athletes and 50,000 other gay visitors attending the Games.
I took part in the Martial Arts tournamet for the second time. Besides competing I was judging for most of the time. The level of the competitors was very high. I competed in weapons form and self defence. In Weapons forms I won the bronze medal and came fourth in Self Defence.
