MASTERS EVENTS IN BEIJING 2015 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

 

 

Dear Simone Geel (NED)

 

Firstly, I must thank you and the other athletes that have applied to compete in this most momentous event, and the opportunity to show  a new audience the power of Master athletics. The applications have been overwhelming with up to 60 men and women applying for selection. We are pleased that somany athletes were interested and took the time to submit their details.

 

For the events there were 9 men and 9 women selected, with provision made for two athletes from China and one reserve in each event in case of any possible withdrawals. The selection was based on the information submitted in the applications that had been received. These indicated the best performances of both 2014 and 2015, and whilst we realise that some athletes are just starting their season and may improve their performances, we had to abide by a cut off date to meet the requirements of the championship organisers in China.  The details of the selected athletes are shown below.

 

For those athletes selected, WMA is offering athletes accommodation for 4 nights and a daily allowance US$50.00. (27-30 August) however at this time athletes should be prepared to meet their own travel and any further additional costs. All Master athletes will be accredited in the same manner as the IAAF athletes. This will entitle them to use the official training sites, admission to the championships competition including seating in the reserved athletes stands during the championships and attend all social functions the IAAF athletes are entitled to.  Accompanying persons will be provided team official accreditations and at this time we understand this includes admission to the championships competition. 

 

It is very important that we know details of the athletes and any accompanying persons as soon as possible, so I would be grateful that you let the WMA Secretary know of your acceptance of participation, the extent of your intended stay, accompanying person, with full details as on passportsof all persons, as well as the passport number.

 

I look forward to seeing you in Beijing and possible Lyon and wish you a successful season.

 

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Stanley Perkins

WMA PRESIDENT
