“Being fit is really important. … Younger athletes are just so hungry and aggressive and fresh. … I take great pride in being able to keep up with them and giving them a challenge.” Judi Oyama was introduced to skateboarding by her older brother and was instantly hooked. By 16, she was one of the few female skateboarders to be sponsored and often competed against boys. At 43, she won her first slalom world championship. Oyama started CrossFit at 53 as a way to stay fit and challenge her younger competitors. At 64, Oyama is in the Skateboarding Hall of Fame and continues to compete internationally. “It feels really good to be a top-ranked athlete in my 60s.” Watch Oyama's feature via AARP → https://lnkd.in/ez5Q5hSe #CrossFit

This should be an inspiration for many. It certainly is for me. Age should not be an excuse to reduce activity. Way to go Judi.
Your video on you tube every 64 year old should see and take to heart!
