“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
“We play sport and discover new countries”
“We get to experience different countries, different places you wouldn’t possibly go to visit if it wasn’t for a sport. It’s a nice way of experiencing a new city.”
“I compete to be healthy, inspired by the older athletes”
“The first year I competed in the Swiss Masters Athletics, the guys that were 60 – 65 – 70 years old, they were my inspiration. I switched my mind to say: I still compete but I want to be healthy the rest of my life. They are the models.”
All levels are welcome to participate”
“You can still play sport, you challenge yourself on a different level, but you can still make it.”
