Pensioner wows at German gymastics meet

An 86-year-old gymnast has wowed the crowds at the gymnastics World Cup in Germany.

Senior citizen Johanna Quaas performed a series of tough routines at the spectacle in Cottbus, Brandenburg, to a rapturous reception from the audience.

She impressed with a number of cartwheels, rotations and head-spins, and she also held her own body weight up and balanced upside down.

Johanna took on the parallel bars and managed a five-second plank, which was greeted by cheers and gasps from the watching public.
