86 years old, still kicking

86 YEARS OLD – Johanna Quaas is a true inspiration
to all of us as she is spending her days tumbling, spinning and twirling on the
gym floor and on the parallel bars no
less! Just recently, Cottbus, Germany hosted
the 2012 Cottbus World Cup where
Quaas performed her exhibition
routine on the floor and on the parallel
bars. Although the 86 year old has won
11 medals in senior gymnastics competitions, she ultimately just
continues to practice "for fun." We doubt that this lovely white-haired
athlete sat around at home watching
TV all day when she was younger. In
fact, in 1954, Quaas was a member of
the handball team that took the
Eastern German Championship! Today, she continues to astonish audiences in
events across the globe. Ain't this wonderful
