My European Faces: Johanna Quaas, 91 years, world-oldest gymnast, is German & European


Johanna Quaas, Guinees Book Record: Oldest competing gymnast at 91 years

Gymnast Johanna Quaas, is 91 years old and still competes. Her favorite part is the parallel bars. As a teenager, she dreamed of going to the Olympics, but the second world war destroyed that dream. After the war, she had to live under the communist spy state of the DDR, but she always trained youngsters in gymnastics. Look how, at 91 years, her smile is still so sweet & happy, like that of a child! She’s German & European.
