Sport keeps us fit, it keeps people healthy and you can see from the smiles on the faces what it means to them to be still active and competing in events like this and meeting people throughout their whole lives.

“This year I have hit times I haven’t hit for years. You can still always challenge yourself and do better. There’s just no excuse. You can pick up a new sport, have a go at something different.”

“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.”
