Athlete Comments & Reviews

“We travel and enjoy life through sport”

“These players like to keep fit, which is important if you want to travel and you want to enjoy life.”

“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!”

“A sport festival like the Olympics, open to everyone!”

“My Masters team family is amazing. After being a full time athlete when I was younger and then retiring and then coming back into it. It was amazing. This was my Olympics!”
