Olympics for over 70s

I'm in for the jar opening as long as I can wear my rubber gloves - not a hope otherwise!
How about hunt the specs? Penalties for finding reading ones when looking for driving ones.

You would have to check the cheaters. I have memory foam slippers so I can remember why I went upstairs.

That really made me laugh! ?????

My next event is putting away properly the stuff dh has put away whilst unloading the dishwasher.

I take part in that one as well?

I can't join in as its a few years before I can compete, but flip me some of you have scared the bijesus outa me

LOL

What about the fastest time for getting completely and neatly dressed including underpants, socks, bra (or another item that has hooks and eyes) T-shirt, pullover, skirt or Levis with buttoned flies and shoes, USING ONLY ONE HAND?

The elimination heat for this event includes shaving if male or doing hair if female likewise only using one hand.

I can do the jar unscrewing! I have a ‘never fails’ tip told to me by a BA cabin crew member many years ago. I’m not 70 yet though, I hadn’t realised it was ageist!

Please share the tip Blossoming.

Is there a medal for reading these posts roaring with laughter and not wetting your knickers? I have already failed this event I am afraid.

Rules for the dozing on the sofa event.

Head can hang forwards but marks will be deducted for throwing it back with mouth open.

Changing the duvet cover?

My next event is putting away properly the stuff dh has put away whilst unloading the dishwasher.

Could we have a farting Olympics? see who can play our National Anthem in farts?

I’m selfID ing so I can compete.
My event is “managing to load the dishwasher and switch it on before DH tuts and reorganises it!”

Rubbernecking out of the front room window.

Those with the most interesting gossip wins.

Please note there is a separate event for removing pull on bras whilst remaining dressed. I am keen to start training for that if I am selected

Well that’s me out as I can’t even get to my own toenails these days ?

Chrysalis -

DannieRae I'd win that hands down. 0r should I say hands up the sleeves?!

Trainee 70 year old here.

Strong competitor for gold in the being out of bed before the renal nurse arrives and the dozing on the sofa events.

Fastest bramble cutting with secateurs

Sitting on machine behind tractor to plant potatoes - greatest number of rows.

Fly swatting.

Picking up dog poo

Brilliant thread
How about time taken at a supermarket pay kiosk to fill shopping bags in trolley whilst they are being pushed on by the cashier at amazing speed. No allowance given for being unable to pick up any item before the next is piled on it
Width of 'shelf ' onto which they have been processed must be regularised for this contest

I'm just hoping our local BMX track sees the market for letting us all have a try--it looks just awesome but I'd probably have to pad up like Michelin Man.
