Athlete Comments & Reviews

“Inspiration everywhere to just get up and do it!”
“You watch the Olympics and people are in awe of performance. You watch an event like this, you know the 40, 50, 60 year old age group, hopefully it inspires people to get out of the arm chair and say: ‘Actually, I could do that!”
