Athlete Comments & Reviews
“I compete to be healthy, inspired by the older athletes”
“The first year I competed in the Swiss Masters Athletics, the guys that were 60 – 65 – 70 years old, they were my inspiration. I switched my mind to say: I still compete but I want to be healthy the rest of my life. They are the models.”
“You play sport and are a tourist at the same time!”
“Being part of the Games allows you to be a tourist as well and being part of everything that is going on in the area.”
“The best combination of sport and travel!”
“Good thing about sport, you meet people. It gives you a chance to travel, to new places you haven’t been.”
