Johanna Quaas, 96 : Gymnast
Nearly 11 years ago, the sprightly was recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s oldest gymnast.
Now 96, she's still a tour de force, landing flips on parallel bars and nailing handstands among other impressive moves.
Quaas’s secret formula: her green diet, moderation (eat till full, then stop), and plenty of exercise (gymnastics three or four days a week, with an occasional sauna and a dip in the pool). Oh, and all of it covered by a sunny disposition.
“If you are fit, it is easier to master life,” Quaas said. “I do gymnastics to avoid being susceptible to falls and that is a good preventive tool.”
