This was my first games, and at 50 years old, I'm a changed person from the experience I had. I'd like to do all I can to encourage others to have the amazing experience I did.

This was one of my favorite LGBT sporting tournaments ever (I have been to quite a few). I really felt part of something meaningful, it was quite emotional. I also hope our Mexican hosts know how grateful we are. THANK YOU!!!

Congratulations on a job well done. I expected these games to be my swansong as I am about to turn 70. But you have persuaded me to participate at Valencia in 2026.

I have excellent memories of taking part in the GGHK and my stay in Hong Kong.

The events were exceptionally well-organized, and the sports facilities were well-prepared and of high quality. Numerous successful social events provided athletes with ample opportunities for exchange, fun, and networking.
