Athlete Comments & Reviews
“Sport is fitness, health and community!”
Sport keeps us fit, it keeps people healthy and you can see from the smiles on the faces what it means to them to be still active and competing in events like this and meeting people throughout their whole lives.
“The support and the big crowd are incredible”
The crowd is awesome. There were a lot of friends and family, it was a really nice atmosphere and I have noticed that across the board people are just so supportive.
“Learning a new sport is exciting!”
“There are people that say: why you keep doing that, why are you doing that at your age? Well, because we still can and it is never too late to start and learn new things. It’s exciting!”
