87-year-old Harry Gorman off to Rio for 15th Olympics

You would think, at the age of 87, a man would be content to sit back and watch the Olympics on TV.

You would think, with all the hassle of travel, the threat of muggings, mosquitoes, that maybe this year’s Games might be unappealing to an old-age pensioner, regardless of how much he loved his sport.

If you think that, however, you probably don’t know Harry Gorman, the lifelong athletics fanatic who packed his bags for his 15th consecutive summer Olympic Games.
