Hansfromdenmark Posted July 23, 2023 Report Posted July 23, 2023 I have thougt many thoughts.... There are of course the biggest event. The Olympic games. Then there are also youth olympics, which dont get that much attention in our contry... But what about the other way around... A Senior games... For olderly athletes! You must be at least 40 (For example), or perhaps ajust the age for each event. It could make the point, that up in the ages, it is important to still exercise when you are in the 40´s... You can still do something good up in the old days. Then we could relive the old competens in the games again... In Badminton, Peter Gade vs Lin Dan... It could be Michael Phelps in swimming (Perhaps make the swimming in 25m arena, then it could fit in normal indoor venues easier). See Usain Bolt run a 100 meter again... , Roger Federer in Tennis, etc etc etc... I believe it would have more public interest then youth, because there are many known names... But of course new names can pop up also and qualify... And of course there should not be events all over the year to make it in world ranking, but just som few. In team sport perhaps make football 2x30 min (Then more matches can be held in the same stadium), Handball 2x20 min... just some examples.... What do you all think of that kind of idea? Here just loosely descriped. Quote
cfm Jeremie Posted July 23, 2023 Report Posted July 23, 2023 I believe the World Master Games are more or less that. 1 Quote

Hansfromdenmark Posted July 24, 2023 Author Report Posted July 24, 2023 I wasn't aware of those games. I will look into it. But at first eye it dont look like it has earlier big names. But that of course demands that they are willing to participate Quote
