iRumorMill.com Determination: Real

According to a September 13, 2012 article by England's Daily Mail, Johanna Quaas is a German gymnast who has been named the world's Oldest Gymnast at the age of 86.

Quaas comes from a family of gymnasts and for a short time studied the sport as a child.  The article said that when she got married and raised a family of her own she gave it up, but "'picked it up again' in her Fifties, performing in her first competition at the age of 56."

Her profile on the website of the Guinness World Records said, "Johanna stills performs cartwheels at the age of 87!"
