Athlete Comments & Reviews
“A sport festival like the Olympics, open to everyone!”
“My Masters team family is amazing. After being a full time athlete when I was younger and then retiring and then coming back into it. It was amazing. This was my Olympics!”
“We play and we have so much fun!”
“Everyone is here for the same reason, to have fun and to play. It’s for the love of the Game and we dit it!”
“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.”
