Athlete Comments & Reviews
All levels are welcome to participate”
“You can still play sport, you challenge yourself on a different level, but you can still make it.”
“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.”
“You don’t get this big crowd elsewhere, it’s spectacular!”
The feeling an the atmosphere is just amazing. I’ ve never, even at the World Champs that I go to oversees, you just don’t get this bigger crowd, It’s really spectacular, it’s great.
