Balance, practice, and a small amount of poise are all needed for roller skating. If you’re anything like me, getting out of your car or mounting the stairs could be regular challenges against the laws of gravity.

Usually, gravity wins, and I end up with skinned elbows or the public spectacle of losing the gravity battle.

On most days, it’s evenly split. However, this elderly woman makes roller skating appear to be as simple as bicycling or, to be completely honest, breathing.

She attracted the attention of other individuals who later shared her simple, carefree roller skating techniques, including a professional skater by the name of Marcus.

He was astounded by how effortlessly this woman passed other contestants. He had to record this woman’s talent as a result.

I think it’s safe to say we all completely agree with Marcus when he says, ‘When Marcus spotted the woman, he found himself in wonder at how lovely and accomplished she was, despite her 86 years.’

You can see in the video that she doesn’t appear to be concerned about breaking her hip or to have a care in the world.

She is wearing a t-shirt and leggings that are decorated with images of roller skates. I believe that she not only enjoys playing the sport, but she is also competent at it, as seen by her attire.

This woman is living proof that becoming older is actually something to relish. We get to engage in interests and pursuits that make us happy while demonstrating to the younger generation that age really is only a number!
