There is no age limit: a 71-year-old Chinese woman surprised everyone!

There is no age limit to life! 71-year-old Sun Minghui has proven this fact in practice. At the National Fitness Newcomers Quality Competition 2025 held in Wuhan, China, he won a bronze medal and was recognized as the oldest athlete among all participants. This was reported by the South China Morning Post.

Minghui's inspiring journey, like cancer, began after retirement. At the age of 67, he decided to turn a new page in his life and seriously engage in sports. He first experimented with various activities such as cycling, jumping rope, running and walking. "After a little over a month of training, I began to notice changes in my body. As I got older, I didn't lose muscle mass, but rather increased it. This gave me great confidence and new goals," says Minghui.

Currently, he trains at least five times a week and pays special attention to a balanced diet every day. His attitude to life and discipline are an example for young people.

Here is an example: at the age of 60, Minghui cycled 6,000 kilometers from the easternmost point of China to the southernmost city of Sanya in just 45 days! Thus, he and his teammates entered the Guinness Book of Records.

“Age is just a number, not a limitation. Some people think that old people should just drink tea and walk in the park, but I chose a more active, inspiring lifestyle,” he says confidently.

Minghui has one piece of advice for everyone: it is never too late to make changes in life, set new goals and strive for them. His activities and results can be a source of inspiration for both the older generation and the younger generation. In short, age is not a limitation — it is a door to great opportunities!
