This is the 60-year-old champion of the age 40 and older division of the Australian Victoria State “Geriatric Gym” championships 2007.

I went to take photos and video of the competition — and ended up competing myself. We did 3 apparatus of our choice. I picked tumbltrack, horizontal bar and vault. And managed to win all three. (OK, there were no other competitors over 40.)
I’m sitting out another big Adult Recreational event in Vancouver:
ADULT MEET – This event is too much fun to miss! Whether you compete in one event or go for the gusto and do THE BIG TEN, there’s room for every adult – beginner to former champion.
Contact Phoenix Gymnastics for the adult code. All around and team awards will be given.
Note: Please keep beam and floor routines to 2 minutes or less.
… No worries keeping my floor routine under 2min.
