World Masters Games
No other multi-sport event in the world attracts as many participants as the World Masters Games. Since 1985 the Games have brought together mature aged sports men and women from around the globe who share a commitment to the simple philosophy of "sport for life".
"Masters" is simply an age designation; it does not denote a level of proficiency or a particular achievement. To compete, all you need to do is to satisfy the age criteria for your sport. The World Masters Games are for you.
The World Masters Games have been held on six previous occasions:
Toronto 1985
Copenhagen 1989
Brisbane 1994
Portland 1998
Melbourne 2002
Edmonton 2005
The seventh Games will be held in Australia's global city, Sydney, from 10 - 18 October 2009.
