Athlete Comments & Reviews
“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!”
“You never stop learning and growing”
“This year I have hit times I haven’t hit for years. You can still always challenge yourself and do better. There’s just no excuse. You can pick up a new sport, have a go at something different.”
“It’s the magic of the crowd, being with so many great people”
“I think just being part of the event has been the highlight of it all, winning would have been nice but didn’t really matter in the end. It’s just being there with everybody and meeting new people.”
