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.

“I try to get the best out of myself”

“I like to go out there, train as hard as I can and be the best that I can.”

“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.”
