Athlete Comments & Reviews

“I love to keep going!”

“I have more time now with my work to do sport again, it’s the possibility to keep doing sport in a competitive way.”

“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.”

“We play sport and discover new countries”

“We get to experience different countries, different places you wouldn’t possibly go to visit if it wasn’t for a sport. It’s a nice way of experiencing a new city.”
