“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
“You get motivated to start again!”
“Seeing other people playing it’s kind of inspiring to think about taking other things up again.”
“You might compete against World Champions”
“Masters Games, you never know who the competition is going to be until you have a few races. Quite often they’re former Olympians or World Champions in their day. You get a very broad spectrum of athletes and their abilities over their lives which is a really good thing really.”
“Life is all about learning and trying new things!”
“There’s never a moment to stop to learn. I still learn fron myself. It’s never too late to start to do something.”
