Athlete Comments & Reviews
“They are absolutely smashing it!”
“It’s so incredible to see what people are capable of way beyond their younger years into later on in life. You see it here in these international competitions as well; who are so fast, they are not just participating, they’re absolutely smashing it. Across so many different sports. People are incredible with what they’re achieving.”
“I do many sports so I can choose what my body is capable of”
“You have to keep moving, I had a new start after my new hips at 60-61 so I’ve got another 15 years at least hopefully. Luckily I do a lot of sailing as well, and swimming. So there are other sports if I can’t play tennis any longer but I love to keep going for as long as possible.”
“You don’t get this big crowd elsewhere, it’s spectacular!”
The feeling an the atmosphere is just amazing. I’ ve never, even at the World Champs that I go to oversees, you just don’t get this bigger crowd, It’s really spectacular, it’s great.
