My current goal is to compete in the World Senior Games Olympics, scheduled to take place mid-October 2027 in beautiful St. George, Utah.
Lucky for me, there are no qualifying standards!
I will be competing in the 85-90 age group, but have no information on how many contestants will be involved. I plan to enter five events: two basketball and three track and field.
I am always training. However, presently, because of recovering from three terrible foot infections, I am mainly walking a lot (both frontwards and backwards) and spinning in place a lot. I also spend considerable time at the gym trying to strengthen my weak upper body.
The competition declines exponentially with age fortunately. Last time I nearly landed a bronze medal. I will also compete again in 2032, 2037, and hopefully in 2042 when I am 100!
Editor’s Note: Now, that’s optimism!
