Athlete Comments & Reviews

“Everybody cheers for each other!”

“I loved the mood of everybody cheering for everyone, like I was watching in the stands the M70 triple jump and everybody was cheering whatever the nationality, whatever the performance and I really like that about the Masters movement. It doesn’t matter.”

“The vibe and atmosphere is just amazing”

“I’m being really impressed by our results, everyone has tried their hardest. We’ve got the medals. You feel good. It’s just a lovely vibe, it’s been a very friendly atmosphere, everyone has been very welcoming, it’s been very well organised and we’re very grateful for that.”

“Sport keeps your mind active”

“Sport keeps you fit, keeps your mind active, all those sort of things. It gives you something to work towards, so I’ll do it as long as I possibly can really.”
