Athlete Stories
"At 62, I stood on the podium in Cape Town, gold medal around my neck. Masters Games gave me a reason to train harder than I ever did in my 30s. The community is extraordinary."
"I discovered I could still swim 1500m faster than I did at 35. Masters competition reignited a fire I thought had gone out. My doctor says it's the best thing I've ever done."
"The Masters Games changed my life at 71. I've made friends from 20 countries, broken two national age-group records, and booked flights to Cape Town for 2026. Age is just a number."
