Athlete Comments & Reviews
“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.”
“Go and do it, choose to live!”
“I want to choose to live my life, you only get one chance so why ywaste it, why waste your life thinking I wish I’d done something. Do it, get up, get out of your chair, Go and do it!”
“Using sport to travel around the world”
“It’s like skiing around the world with the whole friendship of people and skiers and that’s the fun, exciting thing.”
