Athlete Comments & Reviews
“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.”
“Sport helps in so many aspects of life”
“Through sport you learn self discipline, work hard on a target, on a goal you want to reach and that also helps for your career or for your work.”
“I just want to see what I’m capable of!”
“If you want to do something, you do it, go for it! You don’t have to be in this. I’m swimming against myself, I’m living against myself.”
