Johanna Quaas: How do yo crash with 92 Years ...?

Johanna Quaas (91): Sturz ... steht auf und turnt weiter!

In older age, falls or crashes in everyday life can actually be more problematic from year to year. The many national sports federations, as well as other facilities of the sport and the health care, offer special fall prophylaxis:
But with her almost 92 years the oldest active gymnast of the world, Johanna QUAAS from Halle an der Saale "provocative way" climbs still on the gym apparatus: Starts recently in the senior all-around competition on parallel bars, bench, horizontal bar and floor. And look .... - promptly it happened ...:
,
<< At the German Senior Cup of Gymnastics 2017 in Einbeck (GER), the 91-years-old Lady crashed, the world's oldest gymnast missed the grip after upper armstand and falles down ... just at her favorite exercise on the bar, which she normally " asleep "mastered ...

... the crash from Einbeck:
 
A moment of shock ..., of course, ... both with her, as well as with the bystanders ...!
* I had a new competition suit on, it was pretty smooth and I just did not catch my hand after rolling off the handlebar again," said the 91-year-old lady," ... and hey, that's when it happened. But besides a skin abrasion on the forearm, there was nothing left!"
This mishap in the 10th decade of life seems to be so easy and problem-free that it is due to her general physical condition, which she has acquired for decades through consistent daily physical activity, gymnastic equipment, but also through general, age-appropriate athletic training:

Muscle training, body tension and stable, resilient skeletal system push the well-known age-increasing decrepitude and stress tolerance far beyond. Only a few years ago, the doctors had attested to her a general body condition, such as a "thirtysomething"!
Bravo, Hannchen! Nothing comes from nothing!!
If you do not work hard you will not see any results!
