Athlete Comments & Reviews

“Sport gives you that united feeling”

“At some point sport doesn’t become team, it actually becomes family. It really is a united kind of feeling to come together to sweat, train and work hard for a goal and then be able to do that goal together creates that beautiful kind of team spirit and camaraderie that you can’t share in the office space or in daily life and that’s the beauty of what sport does.”

“Everybody cheers for each other!”

“I loved the mood of everybody cheering for everyone, like I was watching in the stands the M70 triple jump and everybody was cheering whatever the nationality, whatever the performance and I really like that about the Masters movement. It doesn’t matter.”

“Incredible to see so many different athletes and sports”

“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.”
