I looked through some online archives of Australian newspapers, but
the results of the Games -- geared towards older athletes -- were not
widely reported on, other than mention of a couple of heart-attacks,
and the performance of a 101-year old swimmer who came to the games
equipped with with a note from her doctor.

Just wanted you to know you weren't being ignored...good luck with this one.

HI, thanks for your interest.  I too had a similar experience.  There
were about 200 odd reports in the Brisbane newspaper at the time of
the games but no daily results. It does seem a little odd that an
event which requires quite a good deal of organisation and is
internationally advertised can slip into oblivion whn the flag comes
down.  I do have a library working on it at the moment as well as the
head athletics organisation in Australia.  A Holy Grail it seems

There is no answer at this time.

This book seems like it may be of help:

The Encyclopedia of International Games:

Thankyou, but do you know whether this book would have the full
results of each event or just the medal tally per country.  It is the
result of a particular competitor I am interested in and not the
overall performance of any one country.

Well, I included that book because it was a link on this web page. 
This page has some basic information about the 1994 World Masters
Games including information about a reunion:
http://www.internationalgames.net/worldmaster.htm

I can't say for sure about the content of the book, though.  A library
that owns the book may be willing to look through the book for your
person.  Perhaps a researcher can locate a copy depending on what part
of the world you are from.

Not sure if this will help, but Triathlon Queensland (the state that
hosted the 1994 games) has a results page.  There's nothing from 1994
online, but there is a form you can submit to ask for additional
results.  Perhaps they have access to an offline archive.  Go to:
http://www.triathlonqld.com.au/results.php?pagetitle=LINKS%20TO%20RESULTS

Good luck!
