Who said you can香蕉视频直播檛 break athletic records at 86 years old?
Because that香蕉视频直播檚 exactly what Kelowna香蕉视频直播檚 Cliff Serwa did at the Huntsman World Senior Games in St. George, Utah.
In an event that features more than 11,000 athletes from more than 33 countries, Serwa capped off an outstanding year. He won four gold medals in cycling at the Games in the 85-89 age group, and was also named the top performer in his age bracket.
香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 of course very pleased and in a way surprised,香蕉视频直播� said Serwa. 香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檝e worked very hard in the training program, and I香蕉视频直播檝e had an exceptionally good year.香蕉视频直播�
Earlier this year, the former MLA and co-founder of Big White Ski Resort also collected three gold medals at the 55+ BC Games in Victoria and three more gold medals at the 55+ Canada Games in Kamloops.
香蕉视频直播淭he most meaningful thing for me is that I was able to break records in my age and class,香蕉视频直播� said Serwa, who香蕉视频直播檚 going to be moving up from the 香蕉视频直播榚xperienced class香蕉视频直播� (division two) to the 香蕉视频直播榚xpert class香蕉视频直播� (division one) after this performance.
He set records in the hill climb, road rage, time trail events in his age division and recorded better times than competitors in division one.
香蕉视频直播淚t was a very successful, rewarding, fulfilling experience but the most exhilarating thing of all is to be in a group of bright-eyed, bushy tailed people that are full of life and striving to be the best they can be,香蕉视频直播� said Serwa. 香蕉视频直播淚t was an amazing event and it took place in a very beautiful part of Utah. It was a great experience. The whole thing was extremely well done. It couldn香蕉视频直播檛 have been done any better.香蕉视频直播�
While the Huntsman Senior Games was his last event for the calendar year, Serwa is looking forward to competing in division one at the games next year as well as trying to take part in the American National Senior Games in Pittsburgh.
香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檙e always full of dreams, it香蕉视频直播檚 a great way to be I think,香蕉视频直播� said Serwa. 香蕉视频直播淪ometimes you achieve the dreams, sometimes you don香蕉视频直播檛.香蕉视频直播�
Serwa isn香蕉视频直播檛 the only athlete from the Okanagan Valley to hold records at the Huntsman Senior Games. Kelowna香蕉视频直播檚 Donna Nicholas and Vernon香蕉视频直播檚 Olav Stana also hold multiple records in different age groups at the games.
He continues to cycle around Kelowna with a group he said is loosely called 香蕉视频直播楾he Posse香蕉视频直播�, who ride anywhere from 50 to 100 kilometres a week.
Serwa is the grandfather of Kelsey Serwa, who won gold in the women香蕉视频直播檚 ski cross at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in Korea.
