Athlete Comments & Reviews
“Learning a new sport is exciting!”
“There are people that say: why you keep doing that, why are you doing that at your age? Well, because we still can and it is never too late to start and learn new things. It’s exciting!”
“I compete to be healthy, inspired by the older athletes”
“The first year I competed in the Swiss Masters Athletics, the guys that were 60 – 65 – 70 years old, they were my inspiration. I switched my mind to say: I still compete but I want to be healthy the rest of my life. They are the models.”
“As a supporter we also have such a great time!”
“As a spouse we also get exposed to different people in different countires and get to socialise with different people, so it’s lovely. We have such a great time!”
