“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.”

“There’s such an amazing atmosphere and spirit, as well as the competition, which is brilliant and that’s why I would encourage everyone to compete in events like this.”

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