    Wow! As a 65 year old former collegiate gymnast, I can't tell you how impressive this is to me, that she can still do a kip! Bravo!

    If only I could find a gymnastics facility that would let me come practice! The last one I attended literally called me off the floor during open gym while I was tumbling to tell me they found out their insurance company wouldn’t allow people of my age (I was around 30 at the time) due to the potential for injury. As a former Class 1 competitive gymnast I would love to be back in the gym even though I am 53 now.

Took me 3.5 years to get up in a kip. took me 14 years to make the kip this good. Age is just a number. If I can do it, so can you! :)

If you’re going to NAIGC nationals this year, I hope to see you there!

    Top marks to her but why on earth does age have to come into the equation every time. If one looks after one’s self there is nothing you can’t do in my case as a cyclist at 70 I still do everything I dd 50 years ago. Age is not that barrier it’s a number in the brain and others perceptions that “ oh you shouldn’t be doing that at your age” comments.

      This is no shade to cycling, but as a sport it is much more low-impact than gymnastics which means the body can hold on for longer. This is why you see loads of 50- and 60-something Olympic equestrians but Oksana Chusovitina is a freak of nature.
