“Later in your years there is a beautiful opportunity to stay fit and it can help you with the workplace, it can help you with injuries and even in your nutrition. It’s really good for a person and what the Masters Games does it brings it to a whole new level, now we can travel and experience this with other people and see what that can do yor you in your latter years.”

“I’m being really impressed by our results, everyone has tried their hardest. We’ve got the medals. You feel good. It’s just a lovely vibe, it’s been a very friendly atmosphere, everyone has been very welcoming, it’s been very well organised and we’re very grateful for that.”

“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.”
