Ah, for the days when Rose, Blanche and Dorthy reminded us that the stereotype of older women as being mere dottering, sweet gals is just that: a stereotype.
But for a real Golden Girl, check out former East German handball player, Johanna Quass. She is 86 years old.
I repeat, she is 86 years old.
Oh, and she also did a floor routine.
So it seems when it comes to our preconceived notions of older women, we should probably drop the stereotypes and be a little more flexible.
Hat tip to Yahoo Sports!
I couldn’t do that when I was in High School. Just think what she could do if she had been a gymnast and not a handball player.
