When old age is a joy: at 70, life is just beginning
Russian photographer Vladimir Yakovlev traveled the world in search of unusual elderly people. These old men and old women do things that not all young people can do. Yakovlev created a series of pictures that should motivate us to new achievements in our declining years. The photo shows those who are over 60, but in their soul, apparently, they are 20 years old.
1. Ivon Dol (86) has been involved in figure skating all her life, but after a car accident at the age of 80, doctors forbade her to play sports. As a result, she not only did not stop riding, but still takes prizes at competitions.
2. Nina Melnikova (75) and Antonina Kulikova (75) discovered Aikido at the age of 70. Now they work out for three hours twice a week and do not miss a single workout!
3. Joanna Kaas (86) is a real gymnastics star, but this does not mean that she has been training since childhood. The pensioner discovered this sport when she turned 56, and for 30 years she has been doing somersaults with pleasure.
4. Professional parachutist Pat Moorhead (81) celebrated his 80th birthday with a group jump from a height of 4000 meters. Together with his wife Pat, he travels the world and has already visited 180 countries.

6. Montserrat Mecho (78) skydiving from a height of 4000 meters is a great pleasure. In pursuit of happiness, an active grandmother is constantly engaged in sky diving, has broken several records in swimming. And this is at her age!
7. Lloyd Kahn (79) became interested in skateboarding at the age of 65. He seems to be a solid man, the founder of the publishing house Shelter Publications, Inc., and behaves like a teenager! But Lloyd admitted that he does not perform any tricks and carefully equips himself before the trip. He remembers perfectly well how seriously he injured his arm as soon as he got on the skate.
8. Paul Fegen (78) was a millionaire most of his life, but at 66 he went bankrupt and decided to become... a magician.
9. Duan Jingfu (73) shows wonders of flexibility at his age! He started doing acrobatics only at 60. The pensioner worked at the glass factory for 40 years and as a result could not even reach his own knees.
10. Ruth Flowers was one of the brightest DJs in the world! After her husband's death, she left the small town for Portugal and started playing sets. At the age of 68, grandma became famous, she was invited to famous nightclubs in all cities of the world. She managed to work in London, Paris, Ibiza, New York and Tokyo. But, unfortunately, last year we lost her, Ruth Flowers passed away at the age of 83.
