“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
“I just want to see what I’m capable of!”
“If you want to do something, you do it, go for it! You don’t have to be in this. I’m swimming against myself, I’m living against myself.”
“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 keeps your mind active”
“Sport keeps you fit, keeps your mind active, all those sort of things. It gives you something to work towards, so I’ll do it as long as I possibly can really.”
