Yes, many World Games sports (e.g. squash, lacrosse, flag football) explode in grassroots participation after major exposure, as seen with BMX and sport climbing post-Olympics. Their paths differ from traditional sports: faster global growth via social media, urban lifestyle appeal, lower infrastructure barriers, and stronger youth/creator-driven communities rather than state-backed systems.
