2018 World Masters Athletics Championships is the 23rd in a series of World Masters Athletics Outdoor Championships that took place along the Costa del Sol in Málaga and Torremolinos, Spain from 4 to 16 September 2018. [2] [3] This was the second even year of this biennial series as beginning in 2016 at Perth, Australia, the Championships moved to be held in even-numbered years to avoid conflict with the quadrennial World Masters Games, which had been held in odd-numbered years since 2005. [4]
The main venue was Estadio Ciudad de Málaga (MAL). [5] Supplemental venues included Ciudad Deportiva de Carranque (CAR), Complejo Deportivo Universitario (UNI), and Pista Atletismo Torremolinos in the Estadio Polideportivo Ciudad de Torremolinos complex (TOR). [6] [7] The three-letter codes for the venues are used in the results.[8][9]
This Championships was organized by World Masters Athletics (WMA) in coordination with a Local Organising Committee (LOC) led by Francisco de la Torre, Mayor of Málaga. [7]
The WMA is the global governing body of the sport of athletics for athletes 35 years of age or older, setting rules for masters athletics competition. [10]
At the 2016 General Assembly, a motion was passed to change two events after the 2016 Championships: [11] [12]
- The Marathon would be replaced by the Half Marathon.
- The 10K Road Race would be replaced by the 10K Race Walk.
Thus, in addition to a full range of track and field events, [13] non-stadia events in this Championships included 8K Cross Country, 10K Road Race, 10K Race Walk, 20K Race Walk and Half Marathon. [14]
Controversy
[edit]The Spanish government requested, through Real Federación Española de Atletismo, that the country of Gibraltar not be permitted to participate in the Championships. [15] Athletes from Gibraltar could compete as "neutral" athletes and cannot wear their national uniform. [16] In protest, four out of the five athletes from Gibraltar decided to withdraw and boycott the Championships. [17]
Results
[edit]Official daily results are listed at Malaga2018, [18] and archived at RFEA. [8] Past Championships results are archived at WMA; [19] the 2018 results are summarized in a Medals Table [20] and a Records Table. [21] Additional archives are available from British Masters Athletic Federation [22] as a searchable pdf, [23] and from Victorian Masters Athletics as a searchable pdf. [9]
