Athlete Comments & Reviews
“Incredible to see so many different athletes and sports”
“Just seeing everybody from all over the world in different sports. It’s just incredible to talk to so many different athletes and hear their stories.”
“I motivated myself with a new goal”
“Having been out of it now for a decade, I needed a goal.”
“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.”
