Japanese equestrian defies Father Time as the oldest
competitor at London Olympics!
Tough to imagine how such an old man at the age of nearly
most of the contenders’ grandfather competes in this year’s Olympic Games even
though the sport doesn’t require physical strength or stamina that is required
to complete 42 km running in a little over two hours or 100m dash in less than
ten seconds, it still requires substantial physical and mental strength, as
well as full commitment of the individual and support from others.
This 71-year-old Japanese rider has been training in Germany
with his horse to prepare for this event, away from his country and family,
getting up early in the morning every day to practice with is horse and workout
after the practice to be ready for a medal.
Enjoy reading and learning about this man’s dedication to
the sport.
