The average and minimum age and gender requirements do not apply to coxswains. The age category of the crew (excluding any coxswain), shall be calculated by dividing the total number of years of age of the crew by the number of members of the crew. The age category you will compete in for Rowing will be determined as at 31 December of the year of the event. For example, if you are 42 during Games time but have turned 43 by 31 December, you would compete in the 43 years or more age category.

Athlete Comments & Reviews
“Sport helps in so many aspects of life”
“Through sport you learn self discipline, work hard on a target, on a goal you want to reach and that also helps for your career or for your work.”
“I compete to be healthy, inspired by the older athletes”
“The first year I competed in the Swiss Masters Athletics, the guys that were 60 – 65 – 70 years old, they were my inspiration. I switched my mind to say: I still compete but I want to be healthy the rest of my life. They are the models.”
“Sport is fitness, health and community!”
Sport keeps us fit, it keeps people healthy and you can see from the smiles on the faces what it means to them to be still active and competing in events like this and meeting people throughout their whole lives.
