The 1994 season was recorded in a different order to how it would be
broadcast. Two International Heats were recorded at most venues a few days
apart, but these programmes would be placed at different points in the
transmission order. JSFnetGB has opted to retain the intended transmission
order for the Series Guide, and the original recording order is noted in
the details of each programme. Instances where broadcasters deviated from
the intended transmission order are also noted. |

Returning Teams and Competitors |
|
The Swiss team coach Elio Sala had previously coached the Mendrisio team
twenty-six years earlier in 1968, whilst team member Lavinia Camponovo’s
father Mario and David Croci’s mother Verena were members of the 1968
Mendrisio team. |
|
Additional Information |
|
For Games 4 and 10, a huge industrial fan, driven by an aircraft engine,
was used to create a "storm" and during both games you can clearly hear it
roar.
The Maltese called the programme Logħob Għal Kulħadd
(Games for Everybody) and not Logħob Mingħajr Fruntieri (Games without
Frontiers). This title was clearly shown on the team members' security badges. |

Additional Information |
|
Throughout Europe, the ‘GB’ team was simply shown as
Llanfairpwll..., but when broadcast on Channel 4's Welsh-language channel S4C as ‘C’
(Cymru), the team’s full name of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
appeared on the scoreboard throughout. It is the longest team name ever to
appear in the programme - a staggering 58 letters!!! It even had to be
written, hyphenated, on two lines on the scoreboard but in a smaller font to
the rest of the teams. The town's name translates into English as "the church
of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St.
Tysilio's of the red cave". Positively poetic! Out of a possible thirty-six points available (without Joker), the
Slovenian team of Nova Gorica scored an incredible thirty-five points on the
final three games. This feat lifted them from 4th place to 2nd place overall
at the finish. |

the final game (16 points), enabled the team to finish 2nd overall.
A special song was recorded for the occasion, entitled Igre
brez meja (Games Without Frontiers). The singer and musicians are not

At the beginning of the Poros heat, a reconstructed ancient
Athenian trireme (six-oared galley) is seen on screen. The vessel was called
Olympias and was constructed from 1985 to 1987 by a shipbuilder in Piraeus,
basing his work upon historical sources and designs the naval architect John
F. Coates had produced in consultation with historian J.S. Morrison. In 2004,
Olympias was used to transport the Olympic Flame ceremonially from the port of
Keratsini to that of Piraeus, in the final stages of the Olympic Torch Relay
in the run-up to the opening ceremony of the Games of the XXVIII Olympiad,
held in Athens, Greece. The ship is now exhibited in a dry dock at Faliron,
Athens, Greece. |

Additional Information |
|
The Greek team of Poros qualified for the 1994 International
Final from this heat with a 4th placed finish, and in doing so, became the
last team in Jeux Sans Frontičres to qualify with this position. After
Poros, all thirty-four remaining finalists in the 1995, 1996 1997, 1998 and
1999 editions qualified with either a 1st (23 teams), 2nd (9 teams) or 3rd
placing (2 teams). |

Cardiff (Caerdydd in Welsh) is the capital and largest city in Wales
with a population of around 350,000 inhabitants and is ranked the ninth
largest city in the United Kingdom. The city straddles the Rivers Taff and Ely
and is located 16 miles (26km) south of Pontypool, 26 miles (42km) west of
Bristol, 26 miles (42km) north of Bridgwater and 34 miles (55km) east of
Swansea, the principality’s second largest city.
It is the chief commercial centre, the base for most national cultural and
sporting institutions, the Welsh national media, and the seat of the National
Assembly for Wales. Cardiff is a significant tourist centre and the most
popular visitor destination in Wales with around 18 million visitors per year.
It is also the county town of the historic county of Glamorgan (and later of
South Glamorgan) and has the motto ‘Y ddraig goch ddyry cychwyn’ (The red
dragon will lead the way).
In 1081, King William I (1028-1087) began work on the castle keep within the
walls of the old Roman fort. This resulted in a small town growing up in the
shadow of the castle, made up primarily of settlers from England. In the early
12th century, a wooden palisade was erected around the city to protect it. By
this time it had a population of between 1,500 and 2,000 inhabitants, a
relatively normal size for a Welsh town in this period. By the end of the 13th
century, Cardiff was the only town in Wales with a population exceeding 2,000,
but it was relatively small compared with most notable towns in the Kingdom of
England.
During the Middle Ages, Cardiff was a busy port and in 1327 was declared a
‘staple port’ (one that required merchant barges or ships to unload their
goods at the port, and display them for sale for a certain period, often three
days). In 1404, Owain Glyndŵr (c.1349-c.1415) burned Cardiff and took Cardiff
Castle. As the town was still very small, most of the buildings were made of
wood and the town was destroyed. However, the town was soon rebuilt and began
to flourish once again and by 1542, Cardiff had become a Free Borough.
In 1573, it was made a head port for collection of customs duties, and in
1581, Queen Elizabeth I (1533-1603) granted Cardiff its first royal charter.
Cardiff was finally granted city status on 28th October 1905 by King Edward
VII (1841-1910), and was proclaimed the first official capital of Wales on
20th December 1955 by the then Home Secretary, Gwilym Lloyd George
(1894-1967), 1st Viscount Tenby.
Since the 1990s, Cardiff has seen significant development. A new waterfront
area at Cardiff Bay contains the Senedd building, home to the Welsh Assembly
and the Wales Millennium Centre arts complex. Current developments include the
continuation of the redevelopment of the Cardiff Bay and city centre areas
with projects such as the Cardiff International Sports Village, a BBC drama
village, and a new business district in the city centre.
The city is rich in sporting history and as such has numerous sporting venues
in the city’s confines which include the Millennium Stadium (the national
stadium for the Wales national rugby union team and the Welsh national
football team), SWALEC Stadium (the home of Glamorgan County Cricket Club),
Cardiff City Stadium (the home of Cardiff City football team), Cardiff
International Sports Stadium (the home of Cardiff Amateur Athletic Club) and
Cardiff Arms Park (the home of Cardiff Blues and Cardiff RFC rugby union
teams). The Millennium Stadium hosted 11 football matches as part of the
London 2012 Summer Olympics, including the games' opening event and the men's
bronze medal match.
When this Jeux Sans Frontičres competition was held, Cardiff was in the
county of South Glamorgan. On April 1st 1996, as a result of the Local
Government (Wales) Act 1994, South Glamorgan County Council was abolished,
with Cardiff becoming its own unitary authority. |

Cardiff Castle
The games were played within the confines of Cardiff Castle, which owes its
existence to the Romans. In their 300 years of occupation, the Romans built
four forts on the site of the present castle, on what was hitherto marshland.
The square perimeter wall of Cardiff Castle today was once the outer stone
wall of the Roman fort, outside of which a small settlement of traders and
suppliers began to grow.
When the Romans suddenly left in 400 AD, the fort was abandoned and in the six
centuries which followed, it gradually disappeared through decay and (no
doubt) plunder. When the Norman conquerors arrived in Wales in 1089, all they
probably found was a large eight acre square (32,374 m˛) plot boundaried by
grass embankments, surrounded by a small trading settlement and port on the
river. The remains of the actual Roman walls were not to be rediscovered for
another 800 years. The Normans quickly built a classic motte and bailey keep,
recognising - like the Romans - that this was a good spot to guard the river
and the sea (both of which were then much closer to the castle than they are
today).
In the 12th century, the castle became the stronghold of Robert Fitzroy
(c.1100-1147), 1st Earl of Gloucester and 2nd Lord of Glamorgan, the
illegitimate son of King Henry I of England (c.1068-1135) and grandson of
William the Conqueror. Hailed as one of Europe’s greatest warriors and
statesmen of his day, he played a huge role in English history, even minting
his own coins. One of his most famous acts was imprisoning his uncle, Robert
Duke of Normandy (1051-1134), the eldest son of William the Conqueror
(1028-1087), in Cardiff Castle in order to stop him claiming the throne. The
Duke later died a prisoner in the stone keep.
For successive centuries, Cardiff Castle, which slowly expanded along the
western wall, came under the possession of leading nobles and statesmen, often
as a Royal reward. It also passed through many generations of Kings in
waiting, including King John (1166-1216), Richard III (1452-1485), Henry VII
(1457-1509) and Henry VIII (1491-1547).
However, Cardiff Castle’s greatest moment came in the 19th century, when it
was inherited by ‘the richest baby in the British Empire’. John Patrick
Crichton-Stuart (1847-1900), 3rd Marquess of Bute, was only six months old
when his father, Baron Cardiff (1793-1848), died suddenly after having amassed
a fortune through his successful gamble of building the docks at Cardiff for
exporting Welsh coal. That single act was to cause Cardiff to grow almost one
hundred times in size in just one century to become the largest city in Wales
and, in 1955, Capital City of Wales. By
the time the 3rd Marquess himself died in 1900, he was one of the richest men
in the entire world. John devoted vast sums to creating in Cardiff Castle the
perfect medieval fantasy castle, with no expense spared. The Bute family left
in 1947 and sold the Castle to Cardiff City Council for just Ł1!
Today, the castle and its four hundred acres of adjoining parkland belong to
the city and are open to the public, giving Cardiff more parkland per head of
population than any other city in Europe. To step inside the castle is not
only a journey through two thousand years of Roman, Norman, Plantagenet,
Tudor, Georgian and Victorian history, but a breathtaking fantasy journey
through rooms decorated lavishly with gold, wood, stone and marble, lined with
painstakingly detailed wall murals. Every room has a theme, concerning
medieval history, time, space and astrology and, especially, religion. |

Additional Information |

This International Final had one of the best finishes ever in the
programme’s history. Welsh team Wrecsam were leading Czech Republic team Česká
Třebová by one point after Game 9. The final game involved a team member
dressed in a bi-plane costume circumnavigating the entire area of the Cardiff
Castle arena. However, the Czechs outran the Welsh team by just four seconds,
and won the International Final by a single point. This was a fantastic way
for Wales to sign off as it said goodbye to Gęmau Heb Ffiniau, better
known as Jeux Sans Frontičres.
The souvenir programme sold to audiences at this event revealed
exactly what went into the preparation and production of the Jeux Sans
Frontičres International Final: 9 months' planning and preparation, 8,000
nails, 62,000 gallons of water, 1,332 tea bags, 500 litres of paint, 3 miles
of trackway, 3 miles of terraplas tiles, 15 miles of cables, 920 kw of
electricity, 650 lamps, 445 pints of milk for tea/coffee, 210 tons of
scaffolding 1,032 metres of fabric, 36,000 staples, 2,250 grams of coffee and
200 large reels of cotton. Greek team Poros set a unique record this year, not only did they become the
5th team to qualify for consecutive International Finals, but also they qualified for
those finals with 4th place finishes on both occasions. A new record was set this year as Maltese team Valletta qualified
for the International Final with an 8th placing. This is not surprising, as of
the ten teams participating for Malta this year, six of them were placed 8th
and the other four were placed 9th. This proved to be the worst record in Jeux Sans Frontičres for any country, ever! |
