Athlete Comments & Reviews

“Sport helps in so many aspects of life”

“Through sport you learn self discipline, work hard on a target, on a goal you want to reach and that also helps for your career or for your work.”

“We love to move and stay active as a family”

“We’re always busy doing something, and if it’s physical, the better.”

“Everybody cheers for each other!”

“I loved the mood of everybody cheering for everyone, like I was watching in the stands the M70 triple jump and everybody was cheering whatever the nationality, whatever the performance and I really like that about the Masters movement. It doesn’t matter.”
