Athlete Comments & Reviews

“As a supporter we also have such a great time!”

“As a spouse we also get exposed to different people in different countires and get to socialise with different people, so it’s lovely. We have such a great time!”

“I’m positive about life again!”

I’m really proud of myself I was able to get myself back into a place in sport where I was, and be positive about life again. At the age of 62 right now, I’m so blessed. Beyond, I mean, I get emotional.

“These Games are for everyone!”

“There’s a lot of positives to play these tournaments and as I said before it’s more about participation, it’s about the vibe, just enjoying playing sport, regardless of the standard. There is something there for everyone. Everyone can join in.”
