The age category you will compete in for Cross-Country Skiing will be determined as at 31 December of the year preceding the event. For example, if you are 39 at 31 December of the year preceding the event but have turned 40 by Games time, you would compete in the 35-39 age category. The age of the youngest athlete determines the age category for relays.

“World Masters Sport doesn’t allow building new venues and encourages the host cities to use existing facilities to keep the costs lower. Therefore, all sport information is subject to changes depending on the venues available.”
Athlete Comments & Reviews
“There are so many different athletes in age and nationality”
“This is a beautiful platform that the Masters Games has where these athletes can come from all different spectrums of life and come to participate in the Games.”
“Sport gives you that united feeling”
“At some point sport doesn’t become team, it actually becomes family. It really is a united kind of feeling to come together to sweat, train and work hard for a goal and then be able to do that goal together creates that beautiful kind of team spirit and camaraderie that you can’t share in the office space or in daily life and that’s the beauty of what sport does.”
“The vibe and atmosphere is just amazing”
“I’m being really impressed by our results, everyone has tried their hardest. We’ve got the medals. You feel good. It’s just a lovely vibe, it’s been a very friendly atmosphere, everyone has been very welcoming, it’s been very well organised and we’re very grateful for that.”
