The '''2013 Mediterranean Games''' ({{langx|tr|2013 Akdeniz Oyunları}}), officially known as the '''XVII Mediterranean Games''' ({{langx|tr|XVII Akdeniz Oyunları}}) and commonly known as '''Mersin 2013''', was an international [[multi-sport event]] held from 20 to 30 June 2013 in [[Mersin]], Turkey. Mersin was announced as the host city at the General Assembly of the [[International Committee of Mediterranean Games]] (CIJM) on 23 February 2011. Mersin is the second city in Turkey after [[İzmir]] to host the Mediterranean Games. All 24 member [[National Olympic Committees]] (NOCs) of the ICMG participated in the Games. The official programme for the Games is featuring events in 27 different sports.
== Background == The Mediterranean Games is a multi-sport event, much like the [[Summer Olympics]] (albeit on a much smaller scale), with participation exclusively from countries around the [[Mediterranean Sea]] where Europe, Africa and Asia meet. The Games started in 1951 and are held every four years. The idea of holding the Mediterranean Games originated with [[Muhammed Taher Pasha]], who was the chairman of the [[Egyptian Olympic Committee]] and the vice-president of the [[International Olympic Committee]] (IOC), at a meeting during the [[1948 London Olympics]]. The Games "were designed specifically to bring together the Muslim and European countries surrounding the Mediterranean basin" to promote understanding through sporting competition.<ref name="Background">{{cite news| url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-133501226.html | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160415103615/https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-133501226.html | url-status=dead | archive-date=15 April 2016 | title=Where Muslim, European nations compete; The 21-nation Mediterranean Games open Friday night in Spain | work=[[The Christian Science Monitor]] | author=Abend, Lisa | author2=Pingree, Geoff | date=24 June 2005 | access-date=18 January 2013}}</ref><ref name="History">{{cite web | url=http://www.cijm.org.gr/en/history | title=History – Les Jeux Mediterraneens | publisher=Cijm.org.gr.

The first edition of the Mediterranean Games was held in the Egyptian city of [[Alexandria]] in 1951 and attracted 734 competitors from 10 nations. Initially the female athletes were not allowed to compete. Beginning by the fifth (1976) game in Tunis female athletes were also allowed. Turkey hosted the Games for the first time in [[1971 Mediterranean Games|1971]] in Izmir—the sixth edition of the Games.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://cijm.org.gr./en/mediteranean-games | title=Mediterranean Games | publisher=Cijm.org.gr.

== Bidding process == === Host city selection === Cities from three countries submitted their bids to host the 2013 Mediterranean Games. Two Greek cities, [[Volos]] and [[Larissa|Larisa]], made a combined bid. This was the fourth attempt by the Croatian city of [[Rijeka]] to host the Mediterranean Games. Rijeka had lost its bids in 1995 for the [[1997 Mediterranean Games|1997 games]], in 1999 for the [[2001 Mediterranean Games|2001 games]] and in 2003 for the [[2009 Mediterranean Games]].<ref name="APW1">{{cite web | url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-85892752.html | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140512190736/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-85892752.html | url-status=dead | archive-date=12 May 2014 | title=Disappointment in Croatia as it loses 2009 Med Games bid | publisher=Associated Press Worldstream | date=18 October 2003 | access-date=20 January 2012}}</ref> The voting for the selection of the host of the 2013 Games was held in [[Pescara]], Italy, host of the [[2009 Mediterranean Games]], on 27 October 2007. The election was conducted by the Mediterranean Games Bid Committee. At the end of the first round of voting, only Volos-Larisa and Rijeka remained; Mersin was eliminated after having received only thirteen votes. In the first round, Volos-Larisa and Rijeka received 31 and 24 votes, respectively. In the second round, the Greek bid of Volos-Larisa received enough votes to be elected as the host. The final round was comparatively more competitive, which was demonstrated by a three-vote difference between the final two bids.<ref name="GreekBid">{{cite news |url=http://www.greekembassy.org/Embassy/content/en/Article.aspx?office=3&folder=200&article=21943 |title=Greece to host 2013 Mediterranean Games |publisher=Greekembassy.org.

Greece was stripped of the hosting rights on 28 January 2011 because of its [[Greek government-debt crisis|financial crisis]].<ref name="Greece loses Games">{{cite news| url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1A1-68a54432452d48048ef3e274b2694dfd.html | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924030242/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1A1-68a54432452d48048ef3e274b2694dfd.html | url-status=dead | archive-date=24 September 2015 | title=Greece loses Mediterranean Games over budget cuts | agency=[[Associated Press|AP Worldstream]] | author=Nicholas, Paphitis | date=28 January 2011 | access-date=18 January 2013}}</ref> The ICMG cited Greece's inability to conform the organisational requirements as a reason for this action. [[Ministry of Culture and Tourism (Greece)|Culture and Tourism Minister of Greece]] [[Pavlos Geroulanos]] said that the initially proposed budget "would have wasted money on a big, spendthrift party, [and that] [t]here are much better things [they] could spend that money on in the current situation".<ref name="Greece loses Games" /> ICMG conducted an on-line poll on 23 February to decide the new host. Three cities—[[Tarragona]], [[Tripoli, Libya|Tripoli]] and Mersin—offered to host the 2013 Mediterranean Games. Citizens of the 21 member nations of the ICMG cast their votes to select the host. Mersin was selected after it received more than half of the total votes, and on 4 March, ICMG president Amar Addad officially handed over the hosting rights of the 2013 Games to Mersin.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-250125601.html | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924152852/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-250125601.html | url-status=dead | archive-date=24 September 2015 | title=Mediterranean Games go to Mersin after Debt-Ridden Greece Loses | date= 24 February 2011 | access-date=18 January 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.cijm.org.gr/en/news/173-jeux-mediterraneens-qmersin-2013q | title=Mediterranean Games "Mersin 2013" | access-date=18 January 2013 | publisher=Cijm.org.gr.

== The Games == === Sports === There were significant changes in the programme for the Mersin Games in comparison to that of the 2009 Mediterranean Games held in Pescara. Three new sports, [[archery]], [[badminton]] and [[taekwondo]], were the special additions. The programme for the Games featured a total of 27 different sports. Two [[disabled sports]]—athletics and swimming—were contested by the athletes with [[physical disabilities]]. Even though it was planned, equestrian competitions were not held.
