Veteran athletes shine with gutsy performances

heartwarming and humbling good on 'em

I'm 64 and hanging my head in shame !! still I have the village record for climbing trees !!

Great athletes! You are an inspiration to younger folks like myself. Well, at 78, I am still young. Am I not? How do I join one of your contests?.

I know a 64yo woman that regularly goes to the gym, she claims no cosmetic stuff, she has a body that should make many 20 year olds jealous, and myself? I can only wonder.....

Fantastic stuff. I'm really, really, really envious. Had to give up due to Angina and arthritis and I miss my running every single day. Lucky them and good luck to them.

This is great! Inspiring.

Dedication. Dedication. Dedication.
That’s what you need.
If you wanna be the best,
and you wanna beat the rest.
Oo-ooh! Dedications what you need.

FABULOUS AND MOTIVATIONAL PEOPLE!

Proof if any was needed that age doesn't have to be a limitation. Apparently the average age at which people convince themselves that they're getting on a bit, give up and start to let themselves go, is 41. Don't fall into the trap! Look after yourself and stay active.

I'm so proud of all of u

I knew a guy who was still going to the gym at 82, fit as fiddle, pressing heavy weights that a 20 year would be pleased to press. He went into his garden and fell over, after that he was never the same again and died within a year. The point is - even though at 60+ even if we are capable to do it, perhaps we should try to take it easy because we are a lot more fragile than we feel!

oh you lot... did u see that they are Germans? the british are too comfortable with lard in their paws and all that sweet stuff from tesco. thats why they have no strength at 50 with no teeth! i have been in berlin for 7 months without the sight of any obese person. oh no, not in scotland and all over the UK with young folks hauling pounds of lard here and there.

BRITAIN GET UP!!!!!! GET ACTIVE!!!! SMH!!!!

hope to be fit like them later in my life....well done ! RESPECT !!!!

Just goes to show that age is no barrier. Who needs to grow old gracefully when life is for living and doing things that bring us happiness and enjoyment while we still have our health to do them.

puts a smile on your face seeing people like that i.m proud of them all.

well done all of them, what chance me it takes me half an hour to pull my socks on but i still hold the long jump record at 7hours 49 minutes

good on you all,it made me feel very happy reading about this.

Take care

Quality

Just do it!

Inspiring to see the older generation going for gold, Rather than a bus pass. Yep life is for living and life starts at forty, but nowadays fifty is the new forty, so sixty is a wonderful age to become.
So you only live once, isn;t it best to live it to the full, rather than regretting the past, and saying....If only I did this, and that..... so lets just do it! Like!

Fantastic..an inspiration to all younger folk.
