The average and minimum age and gender requirements do not apply to coxswains. The age category of the crew (excluding any coxswain), shall be calculated by dividing the total number of years of age of the crew by the number of members of the crew. The age category you will compete in for Rowing will be determined as at 31 December of the year of the event. For example, if you are 42 during Games time but have turned 43 by 31 December, you would compete in the 43 years or more age category.

“I wanted to get back into that competitiveness and that competition arena and so someone shared about these Masters Games and so I looked into it and I thought that looks really lovely, I would like to try it and I joked around with some past friends and said: I think I’m going to do this Masters Games thing and they were like we’ll get into it too!”
“As a supporter we also have such a great time!”
“As a spouse we also get exposed to different people in different countires and get to socialise with different people, so it’s lovely. We have such a great time!”
“Everybody cheers for each other!”
“I loved the mood of everybody cheering for everyone, like I was watching in the stands the M70 triple jump and everybody was cheering whatever the nationality, whatever the performance and I really like that about the Masters movement. It doesn’t matter.”
