Athlete Comments & Reviews
“It’s the magic of the crowd, being with so many great people”
“I think just being part of the event has been the highlight of it all, winning would have been nice but didn’t really matter in the end. It’s just being there with everybody and meeting new people.”
“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!”
“First time after having a baby”
“I wanted a challenge, something to work towards and it’s my first competition after having a baby so I wanted to see what I can do.”
