Athlete Comments & Reviews
“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.”
“It’s like an Olympic experience, open to everyone!”
“The first amazing thing is the Opening ceremonies, for both, Italy and here, because it’s like the Olympics I was never able to be in.”
“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.
