“The Golden Fly Series in Rio was by far one of the best events I have ever competed in. The competition was nothing short of amazing with the best athletes from around the world, and one of the coolest venues I have ever seen. The people of Rio were so wonderful, and the energy at the meet was so intense! The crowd didn’t matter if you made the bar or not- they cheered anyway!The Golden Fly Series event was the perfect opportunity to experience Rio before the Olympic Games in August. It was an experience that I believe will give me an upper edge heading into the games.”

“During the last year, I competed in several events of the Golden Fly Series. It is about big meets which provide a great experience for each competitor. For me personally, is always pleasure to compete with elite world class athletes in front of emotional and very warm audiences, in different cities every time. Additionally, from an athlete’s point of view, it is very important to have high standards in order to achieve big performances. You have done that! At this point, I want to thank the organizers and, of course, everybody who contributed to organizing those meets. I’m looking forward to be with you also next season and why not, at all the events of the Series. Good luck with your work and I wish all the best.”

“Golden Fly Series is an event that put sports close to the people. Golden Fly Series is an exciting competition because all of the attention goes to the athletes to do a good performance!”

“Exactly such concepts as the “Golden Fly Series” needs Athletics ... exciting competitions in a great setting combined with the most professional organization! For us, athletes, it`s always  a highlight so close to the audience, because this guarantees the very special atmosphere of the Golden Fly Series. I am also happy to be here in 2015 and am already looking forward to exciting duels with top international athletes!”

“I’ve been in Innsbruck, for the start of the Golden Fly Series. It was an excellent competition with lots of atmosphere and a unique interaction with the audience, which transmits pure energy and shivers to the athletes! It was a perfectly organised competition with an all star cast, which promotes top performances and guarantees excellent visibility!”

“Armin Margreiter and his team do an excellent job for the promotion of athletics – it’s a great concept, especially the Golden Roof Challenge in Innsbruck. As long as all the IAAF requirements are met – which is the case with the Golden Fly Series – the events are fully-fledged athletic competitions and enrich the IAAF competition calendar. We need  such events to showcase the appeal of athletics in a modern, audience-grabbing light!”

“The Golden Fly Series was a very exiting experience for me and the atmosphere so close to thousands of enthusiastic fans was new and unique. It was a real pleasure to jump as the mobile apparatus of the series The FlySwat” allows really big jumps as well!  So I`m glad that I was part of this great initiative bringing athletics directly to the people and look forward in further jumps in the next years!”

“The Golden Fly Series offers a highly energetic atmosphere that combines sport and entertainment. The Golden Fly Series management team does an excellent job of organizing events that provide opportunity for athletes and a great show for all spectators who attend.”
