Athlete Comments & Reviews
“So exciting to experience other countries and cultures”
“I think the most part is the cultures of the countries you come to visit, and experiencing the people.”
“You might compete against World Champions”
“Masters Games, you never know who the competition is going to be until you have a few races. Quite often they’re former Olympians or World Champions in their day. You get a very broad spectrum of athletes and their abilities over their lives which is a really good thing really.”
“Physical activity is a must, I’m back after 8 years”
“For me the most important is that you stay fit. I didn’t do any sport after giving birth for 8 years. Staying active improves the quality of life.”
