Athlete Comments & Reviews
“You make friends for life at these events”
“We see people this year we saw in Torino, and we see them at other places and you start to see people again. Compete against people and you become friends over a period of time.”
“I do many sports so I can choose what my body is capable of”
“You have to keep moving, I had a new start after my new hips at 60-61 so I’ve got another 15 years at least hopefully. Luckily I do a lot of sailing as well, and swimming. So there are other sports if I can’t play tennis any longer but I love to keep going for as long as possible.”
“I love to keep going!”
“I have more time now with my work to do sport again, it’s the possibility to keep doing sport in a competitive way.”
