Nuuk, Greenland: As the flame of the Arctic Winter Games (AWG) was extinguished to mark the ending of the largest sports event ever held in Greenland and in it's 17,000 inhabitants capital of Nuuk, there was a gasp of relief to be heard from the event organizers of the high profile circumpolar sport competition for northern and Arctic youth athletes.

Greenland's biggest sports and culture event ever is running now in Nuuk. The ambition is that the event will beneficially impact the Arctic sporting world - and keep its rich culture alive.

AWG2016, Greenland's largest event ever to be held is now open for media registration.
