Longevity of Olympic Proportions

By , About.com GuideJuly 28, 2012

Follow me on:

Regardless of how Canadian equestrian Ian Millar performs at the 2012 Olympics in London, he'll be able to boast a new world's record.  That's because he will have competed in an astonishing 10 Olympic games, during a career spanning 42 years.  This would be his 11th Olympics, if it weren't for a multinational boycott of the 1980 games in Moscow.

At 65 years of age, Millar isn't the only senior citizen competing in London; Japanese equestrian Hiroshi Hoketsu is 71.  But unlike the many hundreds of young athletes gathering for the games, this Canadian coach and competitor has proven career longevity is possible even in high-performance sport.  Congratulations, Ian Millar!
