86+ year old gymnast

For those who believe that senior citizens are frail and not very physically active, I am sure this video (http://youtu.be/CTWo9EfQ4Hc) is going to change their perception.

This video shows an 86+ year old gymnast Johanna Quaas, demonstrating her gymnastic skills as energetically as an younger person. She is a German citizens and was announced as world's oldest gymnast in 2012.

I strongly believe that such real life cases always play an important role in negating the myths about old age existing in our society and also emphasizing the role of active lifestyle towards leading a healthy and productive life.
