[MsPelicanus]

[hhhunt777]

[amychan363]

I WANT HER AS MY GRANDMA ;D

[who1cares]

@amychan363 lol

[figureskater71889]

So amazing to see! I skate on a session that's 18-83 year olds, and it's the most amazing session I've ever skated on. The older people have so much to teach us, about our sport and about what it is to live and love! I'm only 22 now, but you'll have to pry my skates off of me, and I can only hope to be on the ice when I'm her age!

[adrianasilva2000]

Perfect! I have 37y, now I have necessary inspiration to begin. Very thanks!

[applegirl9189]

that is soo amazing!!

[nibblesnobbles]

holy shit!!!! shes amazing.....i thought it was late starting to rollerskate at 35...but this woman is fantastic.....and the 2 ppl who disliked this you are pathetic.....bet you will be rotting in a corner when you are her age doing nothing.

[babspmalone]

She had good training, you can tell. Look at those crossovers, not a wide step in the program. God love her. I would have liked to see her at her peak and I don't mean that in a bad way at all.

[stephe1987]

Great job! Such an inspiration!

[123icebuggy]

W.O.W! That was so weird, that just proves that u can do whatever u feel like, even if u r 81! Inspirational =D

[EchelonSummer]

Absolutley incredible, this woman! Gorgeous and inspirational...

[quelita28]

Congratulations to her! How old was she when she started skating?

[jfluter]

@quelita28 In the video, she states that she's been skating for about 67 years. At the time, she started skating at 14.

[monellaXDXD]

she is 81 years old?? She is fantastic! I can't belive that!

[rwlangford2]

This is so nice to watch. Great jumps! I love the use of fractions for your age. Your dress is beautiful. You look great!

[lilleesummers]

YU GO G-MA!!!!!!!:):)

[27alli]

She was probably better 60 years ago

[kamwrites]

@27alli .......wow. You've completely and utterly missed the point, haven't you? I'm so sorry.

[ImNotNormal247]

What an Awesome woman!

[monmon1ist]

im 10 year old iv been skating since i was 7 and she does better then me omg my mouth dropped

[prettybabe555]

skating MUST be this womens life

[sadebone]

[malik13ist]

not even my grandpa is 81!!!!!!!!!

[missymya1126]

Awesome

[IIIRikaIII]

81 years old??? My grandparents limp :S

[surftoutjazzy415]

thants way to gud nd she only 81 [tear]

[npe1]

It just goes to show that once you start our beautiful and exciting sport and get hooked on it, you never give it up. Not even after 67 years. What a great lady.

[Pink038]

Is this the peak of her skating ability, or has she gone down a bit, because of her age and agility?

[bomberoxavi]

Wonderful! A true inspiration for us. I wish I was as agile as you and I'm only 47. Staying in form like you do you'll probably live to 120 years old! Are you in the guiness book of records by the way. I love the positive way you talk also - a true inspiration!!

[pamelazoe]

This lady is an inspiration. I started skating lessons at the age of 54 so perhaps I can carry on skating for longer than I thought!

[cococannelle1]

Long live to you ! You are my female hero. You were not 81 years old but 81 years young.

[serpentinecreature]

This lady is wow! It sure encourages me at my age. Lord,it's not over yet! Thank you.So beautiful and graceful! God bless.

[jordynheartsk8]

you have officialy inspired me!!!! u rock :)

[mariellaSabrinaa]

omg unbelievable

[chapstickgurl1]

this is seriously so amazing! this just goes to show that you can do something your passionate about no matter your age.

[lavmarvin]

I think this is AMAZING! Luv it!

[oshinsr]

Wow, what an inspirational woman. She's still got it! It's amazing that she has managed to stay in shape. It must be her love for figure skating that keeps her motivated. Well done.

[TheRonniestar]

she is to old for skating lol :)

[WheresMyKoppy]

Wow! She's pretty good! And look at the smile on her face! A friend of mine was inspired by Brian Boitano (she trained at the same rink as him) to start skating in her 50s. She was pretty darn good also! I say go for it!

[PointyEaredBastard]

Awesome :D I practiced skating for about 15 years and I quit about a year ago.

[angielious]

I am 22 & every since i was 4, Ive ALWAYS wanted to skate. But for some reason... i didnt tell my parents. And if i could, I would go bacc in time, and learn at a young age. But... knowing that u can never change the past and watching this video lets me know that Im not too old and that i can learn while I'm STILL moving! :D

[kenziecole513]

I love her! I teach learn to skate with her!

[novideosforme123]

she can do better scratch spins then me! lmaooooo. i love her! :DD

[amazondotcombuyer]

wow, she ice skates better than my great grandma.

[kanekavi]

eeek!!!!

[emmakellystars]

wow!

[ahrawrz]

This is a perfect time to say, my grandma does wayy better than you, and your like what, a teenager still.

[TheFreckles01]

this is crazy! i cant believe shes 81 yrs old and yet she can still do that.. she is truly inspirational!!! she must be very healthy.. like she said.. if you dont move, you wont move! soo true.. well done Yvonne!!!

[npe1]

What a great lady!

[EsperanceNM]

She's the hero of all figure skaters! :D

It is great. VERY great.

[lolonasa96]

3eeb

bad video

[icecuboz1]

Yvonne is a credit to all of the "young " figure skaters out there...you go girl!!!!

[Paigesmom614]

Wow, I found my idol!!

[AshleyAndJulia]

wow, shes pretty good too

[yogirl2442]

you are defintally inspire me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow you are so amazing, 67 years? no wonder your so good!

[ilovfigurs8ing]

ur amazing keep it up :)

[nAdDlEkAtI]

she should put a vans sticker on her skates :D GREATNESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

[figureskate1000]

That is so increadably inspirational! I hope to be doing that same thing at that age.

[divacat80]

wow such an inspiration!!!!!

unbelievable that you can keep on skating at such an advanced age... I mean, any fall can break your bones easily at that age

i didn't even know it was possible

congratulations to her!!!

[PthaloGreen2]

But today there’s Boniva to strengthen those bones :-) And yes--at any age, you can hurt yourself. At 32 (NOT old!) I tripped on the ice and fell hard on my knee. Ouch!

I think you must know your limits and not push yourself too hard. Even young bodies can only take so much. Tara Lipinski and Michelle Kwan had arthroscopic surgeries. All of those triple jumps and hard landings take a toll on the body.

Finally, just remember--81 is the new 71; perhaps old age is becoming trendy!:-)

[jfluter]

@divacat80 However, with her skating, she may still have pretty strong bones, so she may not be as likely to break something.

[ImSoPunny]

she's very inspirational. there were a lot of people on yahoo answers asking if they were too old to begin skating, and they're like 13, 14, 15, 16 or 17. this just goes to show you're never too old to begin something. i liked what the woman said, "if you don't move, you won't move."

[strawberrykiwi20a]

@ImSoPunny yeah i know!!! it's really annoying. If you wanna skate, go out and skate. Just because you can't become the most amazing skater ever doesn't mean you should never skate.

[liangryness]

@ImSoPunny i agree with you wholeheartedly, but she had been skating for 67 years, meaning she started when she was about 14. i cant start until im 18, it might actually be too late for me by then, i think.

shes a very special case and i admire her, but it may not be with the rest of us normal peeps =)

[giantaxel]

That woman is very good for any age! To be able to figure skate well at that age is a true accomplishment!

[DaughtryA]

Love it so much (Me when I'm eighty)

[evethesensei11]

Wow! Good For her!

[ewaldvonkleist]

wow! good for her! what 80 year old could do that?

[laurenmarieacevedo]

I WAS THERE! I SAW HER!

[Heartless1492]

[Heartless1492]

She is amazing! *_* so experienced so graceful I wish her to reach 150 she really had the life inside more than some kids do. Amazing just amazing. ^^

[Petraskater]

INCREDIBLE!!! I want to skate like that at age 81 too! Keep on skating!

[waddleduckie1]

While there are those who have arthritis and others who have heart disease, lymphoma, cancer and strokes, this woman should be blessed to have a youthful spirit and body as well. She will live beyond her 100 years, a very healthy woman who really deserved to stay true to her passion.

[gaa927]
