The incredible 90 year old athlete

I have a great friend, a physio out in Vancouver, who told me about an incredible 90 year old athlete. She lives in Vancouver as well and she has so astounded scientists with her physical health and fitness that they have been studying her to find out why her body hasn’t appeared to age at the rate expected. She regularly performs in veteran heptathlons and has many world records to her name.

Her name is Olga Kotelko if you want to look her up. She only  took up training for athletics in her 70s and is such an inspiration to all of us who come up with excuses not to exercise! If you want your body to stay younger and fitter then she could be the one to start you exercising. I hope you enjoy reading about her, I certainly did!
