And the National team Duathlon). Cross triathlon is already coaches who probably would prefer draft-legal. Not all races in BC of sprint So, with draft-legal racing at Sprint a larger pool of draft-experienced distance will be draft-legal. Just the distance a reality, it may be time to athletes (and coaches) to choose from. ones that want to be.

The Games encompass a wide range of sports. The aim of the IMGA is to support the Olympics movement and promote the 'sport for all' philosophy of the Olympic Charter. Participants compete for themselves - there are no country delegations. Beyond the age requirement and membership in that sport's governing body, there are no competition qualification requirements. Age categories range from 30+ to 80+ for squash, which has been included as a sport, in every WMG. Toronto staged the first World Masters Games in 1985 (WMG 1), Edmonton staged them in 2005 (WMG 6), Quebec City staged the Winter Games in 2015 (WWMG 2), and Vancouver put on the Americas Masters Games in 2016. Squash is always played at the Summer Games. Medals won by Canadians are as follows:- Year Location Men Women 2017 Auckland, New Zealand Steven Wren(50+Open) – Silver Laura Ramsay(65+Open) – Gold (WMG 9) Gerald Poulton(70+Open) – Gold Colleen Markides(35+Rec) – Gold Denis Theriault(45+Rec) – Gold Alison Le Ber(55+Rec) – Bronze Teams – Mixed: Steven Wren/Denis Theriault/Julie Kessler(USA)/Susan Lawrence(USA)(45+) – Gold 2016
