Athlete Comments & Reviews
“You play sport and are a tourist at the same time!”
“Being part of the Games allows you to be a tourist as well and being part of everything that is going on in the area.”
“Sport is fitness, health and community!”
Sport keeps us fit, it keeps people healthy and you can see from the smiles on the faces what it means to them to be still active and competing in events like this and meeting people throughout their whole lives.
“Seeing the older athletes, I’m like, that’s what I want to do!”
“The inspiration watching those in their 70s/80s, still out there running, I’m like, that’s what I want to do. There’s just no giving up.”
