2 2018 International Gold Masters, Nara Track and Field Swimming Meet <Objective of Meet> With not just the declining birthrate and extreme aging of Japanese society, but also rapid aging in the world s most developed countries, the preservation and advancement of people s health has become an important topic, and within that extending healthy lives has become an urgent matter. At Masters, we hold domestic, Asian, and world competitions with games adapted for each age, and our development has gained social recognition. This time, by holding the 2018 International Gold Masters Competition, an international athletics competition in Nara which includes both track and field events and swimming events, we are trying to contribute to promote participation and event success in both the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, as well as the 2021 Kansai World Masters Games. In addition, by making international contributions through sports and promoting lifetime sports, we aim for a competition that contributes to reducing medical costs. Through this competition, even if just one more person finds health and a meaningful life through sports, or if more citizens can understand and cooperate with the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, the purpose of this event will have been achieved. <HOST> International Masters Athletics Federations (IMAF) <Management> Nara Masters Track and Field Union (Track and Field Competition) Nara Prefecture Swimming Union (Swimming Competition) <Support> Department of Foreign Affairs; Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare; Sports Agency; Japan Tourism Agency; Japan Masters Athletics Federations; Nara Prefecture; Nara Amateur Sports Association; Nara Prefecture Board of Education; Nara City; Nara City Board of Education; Yamato Koriyama City; The Asahi Shimbun Co.; The Mainichi Newspapers; The Yomiuri Shimbun Co.; The Sankei Shimbun Co.; Nara Newspaper Co.; Nara Nichinichi Newspaper Co.; NHK Broadcasting Nara Office; Nara Television Broadcasting <Cooperation> Nara Track and Field Association; Japanese Red Cross Nara Office <Special Support> Japan Post Insurance Co., Ltd. <Dates> Events: Saturday, October 27 - Sunday, October 28, 2018 Competition Commemorative Forum: Friday, October 26, 2018 Opening Ceremony: Friday, October 26, 2018 Networking Event: Friday, October 26, 2018 <Competition Events> Track and Field Events Swimming Events <Competition Schedule> October 26 (Fri.) 13:00~15:30 15:45~16:30 Competition Commemorative Forum To Aim for 100 and Age with Health Venue: Nara Pref.
