I thought The Masters Games Oath, read out as part of the opening ceremony and written with such carefully chosen words so applicable to any sporting competition is worth repeating:
"...We gather here, from the four corners of the Earth, united as one in celebration of the spirit of sport. We recogise no borders within that spirit.
We comit ourselves to creating a World Masters Games where everyone can happily compete - regardless of age, race, creed or ability.
We vow to run, jump and throw as fast and as far and as well as we can - and to applaud and admire all of our fellows who have come to do the same.
We come to compete, to strive, to befriend.
We come to play. Let's play..."
Just wondering too, if CrossFit or the CrossFit Games has an Oath?
