Age categories
Men & Women: 30+, 40+, 50+, 60+, 70+, 80+
The age category you will compete in for Table Tennis will be determined as at 31 December of the year of the event. For example, if you are 39 during Games time but have turned 40 by 31 December, you would compete in the 40+ age category. The youngest player in the pair/team will determine the age category.

“The IMGA 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
“Inspiration everywhere to just get up and do it!”
“You watch the Olympics and people are in awe of performance. You watch an event like this, you know the 40, 50, 60 year old age group, hopefully it inspires people to get out of the arm chair and say: ‘Actually, I could do that!”
“I meet great people playing sport!”
Sport’s everything, I need it for my wellbeing, it helps me push myself, it keeps me fit and you meet great people as well.
“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.”
