At a fitness competition in Wuhan, Central China's Hubei Province, on Sunday, 71-year-old fitness newcomer Sun Minghui and her partner claimed third place in the mixed doubles event, proving that age is no barrier to fitness, according to a media outlet affiliated with Jiangxi Daily.
Hailing from Ma'anshan, East China's Anhui Province, Sun was the oldest competitor at the event and quickly became the center of attention. Before retiring, she worked in a steel factory cafeteria and only began systematic fitness training at the age 67, the report said.
After four years of dedicated workouts, she has now developed muscle definitions.
Sun maintains strict discipline, eating five egg whites daily and keeping her body fat at 18 percent. Her commitment has earned her tens of thousands of followers on Chinese short-video platforms.
During pre-competition training, her flawless pull-ups drew a crowd of fellow competitors, many of whom took out their smart phones to record her impressive performance.
At the event, Sun and her partner proudly took home the bronze medal in the mixed doubles category.
