“The IMGA doesn’t allow building new venues and encourages the host cities to use existing facilities to keep the costs lower. Therefore, all sport information is subject to changes depending on the venues available.”
Athlete Comments & Reviews

“Being part of the Games allows you to be a tourist as well and being part of everything that is going on in the area.”
“The older athletes are so inspiring!”
“Athletics is really important in daily life, to see older people running, my age, and they are still competing very strongly is very encouraging.”
