Athlete Comments & Reviews
“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.”
“The older athletes are so inspiring!”
“Athletics is really important in daily life, to see older people running, my age, and they are still competing very strongly is very encouraging.”
“You make friends for life at these events”
“We see people this year we saw in Torino, and we see them at other places and you start to see people again. Compete against people and you become friends over a period of time.”
