Yes, there are even 90 year old sprinters. Watch this video to check them out. Pay attention or you just might miss them – they are that fast.
A group of seniors in a hotel is not fun. See the link to the right to book the best place to stay for the senior games. Your entire group can stay in a condo or 2 and be very comfortable.
