Athlete Comments & Reviews
“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.
“As a supporter we also have such a great time!”
“As a spouse we also get exposed to different people in different countires and get to socialise with different people, so it’s lovely. We have such a great time!”
“I compete to be healthy, inspired by the older athletes”
“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.”
