World Masters Athletics Postpone Tampere 2021

World Masters Athletics President Margit Jungmann has released the decision on Tampere 2021’s ability to host the World Masters Athletics Championships early and the decision, while inevitable, will be a disappointment to those hoping to compete next year.

“It was a matter of seeing the facts and making responsible and courageous decisions. That is why we have now decided with our partners in Tampere, Edmonton and Gothenburg that we look to the year 2022 with confidence and come back with power. With the future LOCs, we agreed to the new calendar. Considering that travelling in 2021 will still be difficult – for some even impossible – and the vaccine will take time to protect the people, the WMA council decided to postpone Tampere – who stepped in for Toronto – to 2022, followed by Edmonton in 2023 and Gothenburg in 2024.”
