“Just seeing everybody from all over the world in different sports. It’s just incredible to talk to so many different athletes and hear their stories.”
“I can only smile from ear to ear!”
“I’m going home with a nice set of medals, so happy. Smile says it all!”

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.
