Athlete Comments & Reviews

“I meet great people playing sport!”

Sport’s everything, I need it for my wellbeing, it helps me push myself, it keeps me fit and you meet great people as well.

“The older athletes are so inspiring!”

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

“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.”
