World's Oldest Gymnast - Johanna Quaas

Johanna Quaas was an 86-year-old German citizen named Johanna Quaas who won the title of "World's Oldest Gymnast". Quaas practiced gymnastics as a child, but gave it up when she got married and had children.



Quaas, a retired PE teacher, picked the sport back up later in life and competed in her first event at 57. Mrs. Quaas describes herself as “an early bird,” whose only morning routine is “running up and down the stairs.” She runs outdoors as well, while making sure she stays flexible with yoga.

"It is great feeling to be included and I hope the record inspires others to realize it's never too late," she said.
