| Splits decision: 86-year-old Tao Ouyun performs the impressive manoeuvre (Picture: Rex) |
An 86-year-old woman from China has wowed locals with her ability to do the splits. Tao Ouyun, from Yuyao in eastern China’s Zhejiang Province, hasn’t let age prevent her from doing what she loves most, which is practicing Tai Chi. The exercise could be part of the reason she is still able to perform the impressive splits manoeuvre as it keeps her flexible.
She was snapped posing in two positions that are enough to make most people’s eyes water. The first one involved her parting her legs across a concrete floor and the second saw her plant her right limb vertically on a pole.
The impressive veteran has been practicing the martial art for 36 years after taking it up following her retirement from a weaving factory. - Metro UK
