2010 Masters World Championships

font size decrease font size increase font size

78 Masters Athletes from 12 nations took part in the UIPM World Masters Championship in the city of Györ, Hungary. With many new female and male masters competing in this championship.

During the last two years the new Masters concept with competition in 10 years age groups has been active. It finally looks as if a new generation of younger Masters Pentathletes and Tetrathletes are filling up in the ranks. All the new Masters were well prepared for each event, but also with a fine social Masters spirit.

The Pentathlon and Tetrathlon club of Györ were the organisers of this fantastic competition with the professional backup from the Hungarian Modern Pentathlon Federation.

The active female masters athlete Zsuzsa Kowács (who also took gold in pentathlon 50-59 year) together with Antal Riegler and a lot of dedicated local sports people did their utmost to make us feel as sport-celebrities. We could feel that our spo rt has a very high reputation in Hungary and in the city. Even the mayor of the city Borkai Zsolt, a former Olympic champion, was with at the opening ceremony and also at the winners ceremony.

The competition

All the horses and the riding parlour at the Farm Pirik were very good. The shooting event was on electronic targets in the “old fashion” way, which the majority of the masters still prefer.

The final running event was on a good surface suited for Masters legs built around the fencing hall. On a sunny afternoon the spectators could see why many Masters from all age groups must still do hard training to run such good times.

To be a Masters athlete is a way of living, but you can not be in the game without daily sweat,

I think that’s the way, we love it to be.
