China bows to Asia Masters Athletics, allows big meet in Taiwan

China and Taiwan

Taiwan has been chosen to host the next Asia Masters Athletics Championships. This is big. The decision was made Dec. 8 at the Asia Masters General Assembly at the Cititel Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Why big? A masters mole writes: “Taiwan was selected to hold the next AMA championships. They last held it in 1988 before mainland China began participating. They have offered to hold it since, but China has always objected and they withdrew.” Could this be a sign of detente in the Far East? Someone inform Hillary Clinton! We also learn from a news report: “India too made a bid for the 2012 championship but withdrew in favor of Chinese Taipei. The 17th AMA Championship will be held from November 7 to 12, 2012, in Taipei.”

  22. Rajbans - October 11, 2012

    Why so slow ? The Asian Masters Athletics Championship Records have not been updated as yet and the 17th championship is so near. This has to be done at the earliest for the benefit of the Athletes.No registration Status is available as yet as only Twenty Days are left for the said championship.

  23. sathi - October 12, 2012

    what is the stetas of registration for 17th Asia masters athletic championship.Why so slow ?

  24. Rajbans - October 13, 2012

    There are many countries which do not keep even the records of Masters athletics events of their own country, how can we expect from them that they will be sending their Age Group records to the Asian Masters Athletics Association for publication and that is why it becomes all the more important to publish Asian Masters Athletics Championship records where all the Asian countries come and participate.So along with Asian Masters athletics age group records There should also be Asian Masters Athletics Championship records which i am sure will benefit the athletes for their participation in such championships.

  25. Rajbans - December 23, 2016

    It is the common demand of many master athletes that the event “Decathlon” in men section has to be added and conducted along with the other events at the Coming Asia Masters Athletics Championship 2018.This will also help the Master Athletes of the region/Asian countries to prepare well to participate at the world Masters Athletics Championships. At present there is very very less participation in this event at the world masters meet from the Asian region.
    Please do the needful and enable the Decathletes also to compete at the Asia level.
    Thanks

  26. D.j.singh - January 16, 2017

    I totally agree with Rajbans that the event “DECATHLON” has to be added at the Asia Masters Athletics Championships at the earliest.This will also help the Master athletes of the Asian region to prepare well for World Masters Athletics Championships also.At present there is very less participation in this event in the world Masters Ath. Championships from this region.

  27. Deshsewak - January 30, 2017

    Yes i also agree that the event “Decathlon” has to be added in the Asia Masters Athletics championship from the coming Asia Championship 2018.

  28. Iqbal Singh - February 3, 2017

    Yes the event ‘Decathlon’ has to be added in the Asia Masters Athletics Championship. This will give an oppertunity to the Asian Decathletes to meet again after quitesomtime .

  29. Sukhdev - February 8, 2017

    I would suggest to all the decathletes of asian region to write a request letter to the president and the Gen, secty. of Asia Masters Athletics Association to include the event “Decathlon” in the coming Asia Masters Athletics Championship 2018.

  30. Nirmal Singh - February 9, 2017

    President and Gen.Secty. of the Asia Masters Athletics Association have to put this request in the General body meeting of the house and get it approved for the benefit of the Asian region.Hopefully we will get the possitive responce very soon.

  31. Surinderpal singh - February 13, 2017

    Yes even i agree that Asian Masters Athletics Association must add this event “Decathlon ” in the forthcoming Asian masters athletics Championship 2018.

  32. Paramjit singh - February 28, 2017

    Agree the event “Decathlon” in the men section has to be added at the asia masters athletics championships 2017.

  33. Mohinder singh - March 4, 2017

    I totally agree with the given above statements of adding “Decathlon” event in the forthcoming Asia Masters Athletics Championship 2017 China.

  34. Massa singh - April 2, 2017

    I tried to talk to the Gen.Scty of my country but sorry to say that i did not get a possitive response. He gave a political reply and kept me hanging on.My friend told me that i can not contact to the Asia or World Associations directly who could come to our genuine request. I now could not make out as to what should i do under the present circumstances. But i can certainly say the this will not go in favour of the Decathletes of our region (Asia). If anybody can help please do it. Thanks.

  38. Paramjit - May 27, 2017

    I also join the master athletes who are in favour of adding the event “Decathlon” in the Asia Masters Athletics at the earliest. This will enable the Master athletes of the region (Asia) to prepare well for participation in the World Masters Athletics Championships.
    Hoping for an early action in the matter.

  39. Paramjit - July 29, 2017

    Is there anyone who could make presentation on behalf of the Asian master athletes in the general body meeting of Asia Masters Athletics Association to add “Decathlon” in the men section as has already been requested by many Master athletes of the region. Since it is a general request by many master athletes the Asia Masters Athletics Association has to consider it without much delay.
