The games were launched in honour of the 91 men who died in the Sunshine mine disaster of 1972 in Idaho and have grown each year since.
The Americans tend to be strong but the Australians even better. This time around 36 teams – women's, men's and mixed – will compete in seven events over the weekend at the King Edward Mine Museum in Camborne, one of the proud, historic centres of the Cornish tin industry.
