Great Athletic Achievements by People Over 55

Society and the media like to portray older adults as weak, grumpy, and always complaining about the weather or arthritis.

If you get bombarded with these images on TV for long enough, pretty soon you start to expect that that's what you will become as you get older.

But that doesn't have to be the case. You can be strong and full of life and energy at any age. To prove my point, I put together a Hall of Fame of great athletic achievements by people over 55.

Seeing what others have accomplished will open your mind up to better possibilities. If they can do these amazing things, why can't you?
