“I loved the mood of everybody cheering for everyone, like I was watching in the stands the M70 triple jump and everybody was cheering whatever the nationality, whatever the performance and I really like that about the Masters movement. It doesn’t matter.”

“Later in your years there is a beautiful opportunity to stay fit and it can help you with the workplace, it can help you with injuries and even in your nutrition. It’s really good for a person and what the Masters Games does it brings it to a whole new level, now we can travel and experience this with other people and see what that can do yor you in your latter years.”

I’m really proud of myself I was able to get myself back into a place in sport where I was, and be positive about life again. At the age of 62 right now, I’m so blessed. Beyond, I mean, I get emotional.
