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.”

“See what your body can do and enjoy it!”

“If you make the age and your body is willing, you can compete.”

“The support and the big crowd are incredible”

The crowd is awesome. There were a lot of friends and family, it was a really nice atmosphere and I have noticed that across the board people are just so supportive.
