Sports Has No Age Barrier

As everyone knows sports play a very important role in an athlete's life. Every athlete has a dream to represent his/her country in Olympics or national tournaments as a sportsperson. As we know that age is no barrier in this field because there is a much older sportsperson who is continuously representing their countries from a young age. Age is no barrier in Asian games. Our middle-schoolers need sports now more than ever. Many young sportspersons are doing their best in the tournaments for selection in the national team so that they can represent their country in the Olympics and earn gold for their country.

Competitive sport is usually seen as a young person’s game. If you encourage children to take up the sport when they are young, you establish lifelong participation. There are so many different types of sports for elder persons in which there is no age limit. Many athletes are still competing with the new generation also. To stay healthy and fit, older people have traditionally been advised to take up gentle activities, such as walking. Many older people join marathons every year and give their best as they can because they are self-willed and motivated. They all know that there is no strength or weakness for them like the age barrier. There is not any type of age restriction in international Olympics except in boxing tournaments in which the age to compete on a national or international level is from 18 to 40 years. Last I just want to say that age is not a barrier in a sportsperson's life.
