Spordimänge

Spordimänge is an Estonian term used to describe events that bring together competitions in several different sports within a single program. Such events may be international, national, or local and are often organized around a common timetable, a shared opening and closing ceremony, and a medal system. The concept is analogous to English terms like multi-sport games or sporting events that include more than one sport.

In everyday use, spordimänge covers large-scale competitions such as regional or national school sports days, as well as widely known multi-sport events at higher levels, including the Olympic Games spirit of combining many sports in a single event. The exact formats, rules, and participating disciplines vary by level, country, and the organizing body, but typical features include a schedule of events, venues for different sports, scoring and ranking, and organizational duties such as refereeing and safety provisions.

Spordimänge are often designed to promote participation, fair play, and cross-disciplinary interest among participants and spectators. They can be hosted by schools, municipalities, national federations, or international organizations, and may emphasize inclusive participation, youth development, or regional competition.
