“You just don’t want to leave”

“It’s impossible to let go, once you taste this adventure, when you come to these countries and compete and have these feelings and podium and everything. You just want it to continue.”

“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!”

“A sport festival like the Olympics, open to everyone!”

“My Masters team family is amazing. After being a full time athlete when I was younger and then retiring and then coming back into it. It was amazing. This was my Olympics!”
