Athlete Comments & Reviews

“Everybody cheers for each other!”

“I loved the mood of everybody cheering for everyone, like I was watching in the stands the M70 triple jump and everybody was cheering whatever the nationality, whatever the performance and I really like that about the Masters movement. It doesn’t matter.”

“The support and the big crowd are incredible”

The crowd is awesome. There were a lot of friends and family, it was a really nice atmosphere and I have noticed that across the board people are just so supportive.

“I just want to see what I’m capable of!”

“If you want to do something, you do it, go for it! You don’t have to be in this. I’m swimming against myself, I’m living against myself.”
