The same tragedy led to the creation of the International Mines Rescue Body\, which continues to meet every two years to promote mine rescue and to improve mine rescue knowledge and practices by supporting global cooperation. \nThe IMRC has grown in size and importance since Poland\, Ukraine\, Russia and Canada were represented at the first IMRC in Louisville\, Kentucky. The competition was organized by the United States Mine Safety and Health Administration and won by an American team. \nTwenty-one teams representing 13 nations\, including Canada\, Russia\, China\, Poland\, Australia and other major mining nations\, competed at the 9th IMRC in Katowice\, Poland in 2014. Other major mining countries\, including the United States\, Ukraine\, and Germany were represented by observers and guests. \nIn August 2016\, approximately 27 teams representing 13 nations continued the tradition of learning from each other at the 10th International Mines Rescue Competition in Sudbury\, Canada. \nThe 11th International IMRC took place in Yekaterinburg\, Russia in September 2018 with 25 teams from 12 nations gathering to compete. Every continent where mining actively takes place had at least one team competing.
