Athlete Comments & Reviews

“You might compete against World Champions”

“Masters Games, you never know who the competition is going to be until you have a few races. Quite often they’re former Olympians or World Champions in their day. You get a very broad spectrum of athletes and their abilities over their lives which is a really good thing really.”

“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.”

“You make friends for life at these events”

“We see people this year we saw in Torino, and we see them at other places and you start to see people again. Compete against people and you become friends over a period of time.”
