As a 64 year old, and someone keen to encourage later in life exercise, I support your suggestion to make age related performance easily viewable on Zwift for race performances and KOM/QOM segments (and hopefully Sprint segments).
I probably could include the link you may be wishing to show but I’m not sure on forum policy so I will post this readable pdf in hope it is what you want displayed. ( I’m happy Moderators can always remove this post if it is not appropriate)
If I may add my own thoughts on the areas you are suggesting.
Some of the suggestions you make are findable, but not easily, on ZwiftPower. If you are not registered on ZwiftPower you might wish to register and see what age related information is available. Connecting to ZwiftPower
It looks like Zwift is moving much of the ZwiftPower information over to Zwift Game. From the link in the post immediately above @James_Zwift posted this:
I hope the focus group might be considering an improved race results setup, in Zwift game, to include an ability to view results by sex and age categories. The ZwiftInsider policy of publishing best man and women results in Tiny Races is a small start. (However taking this idea to the limit may almost result in more ‘podiums’ than competitors in many Zwift races!)
I do like your idea of the ability to view KOMs/QOMs (and I hope Zwift would include Sprint segments) by age categories. Being able to select and view an ‘over 60s’ in game leaderboard for both might encourage me to put a little more effort into these segments. If implemented this might lead onto whether Zwift should then provide ‘over 60s etc’ segment leader jerseys.
In respect to AG categories into 5 years I think if you check out ZwiftPower, Masters racing does sort of do this. Race is in 10 year categories but results are in 5 year categories.
“Note. Results are split to UCI age groups after the race in ZwiftPower. (https://zwiftpower.com)
Race pens: (system max 5 pens)
A = 30-39
B = 40-49
C = 50-59
D = 60-69
E = 70-**
Result age groups: (system max 10 pens)
DQ < 30
A = 30-34
B = 35-39
C = 40-44
D = 45-49
E = 50-54
F = 55-59
G = 60-64
H = 65-69
I = 70-74
J = 75-* “*
This might suggest your “Zwift AGs stop at 60+“ might need amending as there are certainly 70+ And 80+ Category riders ( and probably 90+ riders)
I’m with you, thinking age category names in Zwift are slightly confusing as do a few others on this forum:
I hope all or at least some of your suggestions can be incorporated into Zwift game in the future.
EDIT: final point for consideration - your initial post should probably be placed under ‘Feature Requests’ and not ‘Racing’. I think Votes are normally only recognised within the Feature Requests threads. If you did want this thread moved I believe the Moderators can do it for you. Your post has little to do with actual racing and more about how age and sex categories can be better promoted.
