Don't let the Games begin without you - registrations close 31 July!
Time is running out for people to register for the Sydney 2009 World
Masters Games.
There are fewer than three weeks to go before Games registrations close on
Friday 31 July. The Games will see 28 popular sports competitions contested
at 72 venues, including many Olympic sites, throughout greater Sydney from
10-18 October.
"I've signed up for the Games open-water swimming race and urge everyone to
grasp the opportunity that the Games provide to compete at a major
international multi-sport event," Wallabies legend and Games ambassador
Phil Kearns said.
Open to everyone rather than elite athletes, the Games are the world's
largest multi-sport event, attracting more than double the number of
competitors of the Olympics.
To enter the Games people only need to meet their sport's minimum age,
which ranges between 25 and 35 years. Swimming is one of two Games sports
open to people as young as 25, with most of the 28 sports open to people
aged 30 plus.
"It doesn't matter how old or how good you are, everyone's invited to take
part in what's the biggest event of its kind on the planet," Games Chair
Margy Osmond said. "Don't let the Games begin without you - register now
before it's too late!"
Games organisers are expecting 25,000 people to sign up for the Games.
Registrants include a shot-putting, hammer-throwing, discus-chucking
great-grandmother who will turn 100 in August and Olympians from each of
the past 17 summer events.
In addition to the support of many domestic and international sports icons,
including Lord Sebastian Coe, Liz Ellis AM and Murray Rose AM, the Games
enjoy the backing of the Australian and NSW governments, with both of them
contributing $8.5 million in cash towards the staging of the biggest
one-off event in Sydney this year.
With one third of Games registrants expected to travel from overseas,
particularly Canada, New Zealand and America, the Games are projected to
deliver an economic benefit of $48 million to NSW. Among the biggest
winners are likely to be western Sydney regions with Games venues, areas
that are off the beaten tourist track.
Fit, fun and forever young is the motto of the Games, with registrations
open until Friday 31 July at www.2009worldmasters.com.
