“Athletics is really important in daily life, to see older people running, my age, and they are still competing very strongly is very encouraging.”

“I’m being really impressed by our results, everyone has tried their hardest. We’ve got the medals. You feel good. It’s just a lovely vibe, it’s been a very friendly atmosphere, everyone has been very welcoming, it’s been very well organised and we’re very grateful for that.”

“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.”
