You’re Never Too Old to Try Something New

Alexander Beernink, 73, pursued his love of gymnastics at age 60.

Alexander Beernink, age 73, fell in love with gymnastics when he was all of three mighty years old, but never pursued it until at age 60, he decided “It’s now or never”! Now, indeed! Alexander just competed in the Australian Masters Games in Burnie, his seventh Master Game in a row, and is looking forward to many more such competitions. What does he like best about gymnastics? In addition to the sport itself, he loves the camaraderie, the people he meets and the friendships made along the way. Way to go, Alexander!
