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.”
All levels are welcome to participate”
“You can still play sport, you challenge yourself on a different level, but you can still make it.”
“Life is all about learning and trying new things!”
“There’s never a moment to stop to learn. I still learn fron myself. It’s never too late to start to do something.”
