Many of you know that I am going to the World Masters Games in Sydney in October.
Mostly, when people ask, I have told them “it is the like the Olympics for old people”
I figured I might as well stop being a smart-ass ( if only for a moment) and explain a bit about the Games
The World Masters Games are recognized by the International Olympic Committee, and like the Olympics, they are held every four years. it is the largest multi-sport festival in the world. Nearly 29,000 other athletes from across the world will descend upon Sydney to celebrate, sport, culture and arts.
The purpose of the games is to promote lifelong competition, friendship and understanding between mature sportspeople, regardless of age, gender, race, religion, or sport status.
This trip has been in the works for 3 years. And now, it is a mere 3 sleeps away.
Well, I guess it has been in the works for longer than that. 35 years is more like it.
The games are 10 days long. After I celebrate sport, well, it will just be plain celebrate life..for the next couple months ;-)
