A former world class athlete, who competed in the Olympics twice, is still performing gravity-defying gymnastic routines at the grand old age of 84. Age is no barrier for amazing Majorie Carter, a member of the British gymnastics squad at the 1952 Olympics in Helsinki, Finland, and the 1960 Olympics in Rome, Italy - just missing out on medals at both.
