Athlete Comments & Reviews
“We love to move and stay active as a family”
“We’re always busy doing something, and if it’s physical, the better.”
“You might compete against World Champions”
“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.”
“It’s like an Olympic experience, open to everyone!”
“The first amazing thing is the Opening ceremonies, for both, Italy and here, because it’s like the Olympics I was never able to be in.”
