Fechstein, who had raised her arms and cheered even after finishing last in the women's 3000 m speed skating event, broke her record for the oldest appearance at the mass start three days before her 50th birthday, followed by the finals. She advanced and burned her fighting spirit.
The legend of ice skating, who won 9 medals including 5 gold medals at the 8 Olympic Games in the past, happily finished the 'challenge' although he did not add any medals.
[Fechstein/German speed skating representative: I look young, but I am not young anymore.
I am proud and happy of myself to be able to skate on the Olympic stage at my age.]
35-year-old Irene Bust of the Netherlands became the oldest in ice skating history in the 1500m, setting an immortal record of winning five consecutive gold medals for the first time in history.
The old men in Snowfield were also dazzling.
Chaewon Lee, 41, the oldest contestant in our team, performed an impressive finish in a cross-country race called a marathon on a snowy field.
[Lee Chae-won/Cross-country national team: I wanted to become a mother who is not ashamed, because my goal was to finish.
I think she's so lucky.]
In 2006, when he was 21 years old, he fell while performing a stunt 40 meters before the finish line and missed the championship right before his eyes. Achieved the crown.
Age could not be a limit for the elderly who did not give up on their dreams and thorough self-management.
