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.”
“Life is all about learning and trying new things!”
“There’s never a moment to stop to learn. I still learn fron myself. It’s never too late to start to do something.”
“Inspiration everywhere to just get up and do it!”
“You watch the Olympics and people are in awe of performance. You watch an event like this, you know the 40, 50, 60 year old age group, hopefully it inspires people to get out of the arm chair and say: ‘Actually, I could do that!”
