“The Challenge Never Ends”

The World Winter Masters Games will be held for the first time in history between January 25th and 31st 2010. They will take place in Europe – more precisely, Slovenia’s stunning tourist town Bled. The town and its neighbouring cities are already known for hosting numerous major sporting events. Alpine skiing competitions will be held at Kranjska Gora, the ski resort which hosts the annual men ski World Cup competition. Ski jumping will take place in Planica – the famous ski jumping venue where the final World Cup competition of the season is traditionally held and where new world records have always been set. The current world record stands at 239 metres, set by Norwegian Bjorn Einar Romöeren. Cross-country skiing and biathlon competitions will be organized at Pokljuka, the venue of an annual World Cup biathlon competition, and hockey games will be organized at Jesenice, Bled, and Kranj. The demonstration event (indoor football or futsal) will be by far the most extensive, with competitions taking place at eight different locations.

World Winter Masters Games are for all athletes older then 25 years regardless the results, especially for those which appreciate sport spirit as well as socialising with other athletes from other parts of the world.
