Jon Williams<br />
- an original<br />
NZ Masters Games<br />
- a family event<br />
Jon Williams is a true<br />
expert when it comes<br />
to the New Zealand<br />
Masters Games.<br />
Having competed in<br />
the first Masters Games<br />
almost 30 years ago, he<br />
has been coming back ever<br />
since.<br />
Having competed in<br />
either table tennis and/<br />
or rock ‘n’ roll at every<br />
Whanganui based Masters<br />
Games, Jon last competed<br />
with his wife Christine in<br />
2017.<br />
He enters the New Zealand<br />
Masters Games each<br />
year because he loves the<br />
camaraderie, the village<br />
atmosphere, and most of<br />
all the dancing.<br />
“I love dancing and if I<br />
can get through a routine<br />
without any mistakes, I<br />
am more than happy,” he<br />
says. “Receiving a medal is<br />
just an added bonus.”<br />
Jon and his Rock ‘n’<br />
Roll friends aim to get to<br />
the village between three<br />
and five times throughout<br />
the week and love it<br />
when Rock n Roll music is<br />
played.<br />
For 2019, Jon has entered<br />
both Rock ‘n’ Roll<br />
and Table Tennis. He<br />
plans to keep entering<br />
each year as long as he is<br />
physically able.<br />
When Whanganui’s<br />
Sue Watson<br />
pondered<br />
the ideal Christmas presents<br />
for her family, entries<br />
to the 2019 Downer New<br />
Zealand Masters Games<br />
seemed like the ideal solution.<br />
Sue has entered her<br />
three children, along with<br />
their partners, in a variety<br />
of events.<br />
“At first I thought I<br />
could enter them all in the<br />
5km walk, however two<br />
of them are too young, so<br />
they have been entered in<br />
track events,” says Sue.<br />
“I just thought the kids<br />
are all involved in sport in<br />
some capacity, and they<br />
are now of an appropriate<br />
age, so what better way to<br />
bring everyone together.”<br />
Sue and partner Roger’s<br />
three children Tim,<br />
Penny and Simon are<br />
thrilled with their gifts<br />
and all are considering entering<br />
further events at the<br />
games.<br />
“There is talk of taking<br />
part in the weightlifting as<br />
we have a couple of cross<br />
fitters in the group, or<br />
even the swimming,” says<br />
Sue.<br />
As for Sue and Roger,<br />
they will be on babysitting<br />
duty looking after their six<br />
grandchildren while supporting<br />
from the sidelines.<br />
“We think the Masters<br />
Games is a fantastic event<br />
for Whanganui, we have<br />
always got behind it in the<br />
past and now want to encourage<br />
the next generation<br />
to give it a go.”<br />
The Games attract<br />
competitors from all<br />
around New Zealand,<br />
and internationally, competing<br />
at Masters level.<br />
There are no qualifying<br />
standards, apart from the<br />
age limit for each sport,<br />
and athletes in their 80s<br />
and 90s are just as likely<br />
to be lining up as those in<br />
their 30s and 40s. The focus<br />
is on participation and<br />
friendship, and the social<br />
programme is just as important<br />
as the sport.<br />
