- Margit Ohlsson swims 2.56 in 200 Backstroke, 1.20,34 in 100m and 36,58 in the 50m Back at 65 years of age! 3 World Records!
Online swimmer Margit Ohlsson (65) brakes 3 World Records in backstroke swimming a 2.56 in the 200m Backstroke, 1.20,34 in the 10om Back and 36,58 in the 50meter Backstroke and this at an age when most of us are thinking of retirement! But not Margit!
Margit, who has been training online for Glen Christiansen for 10 years said; ” I wanted to try something new this year to see if I could get fast again in the 3 backstroke events and Glen planned a totally new training for me. I was a little worried if it was going to work, after all I´m a 65 but then again I trust Glens coaching and this time I am really, really suprised!
I never thought I would swim this fast!” I am so happy.” Now I am looking foward to Glens Camp in Göteborg in May and maybe the one on Tenerife in June.
