Athlete Comments & Reviews
“We play sport and discover new countries”
“We get to experience different countries, different places you wouldn’t possibly go to visit if it wasn’t for a sport. It’s a nice way of experiencing a new city.”
“Playing sport helps in daily life”
“I think competing is part of life. Life is all about competing, learning how to roll with the punches and get up and fight again for another day. And that’s what sports is all about.”
“There are so many different athletes in age and nationality”
“This is a beautiful platform that the Masters Games has where these athletes can come from all different spectrums of life and come to participate in the Games.”
