At an age when most people slow down, a 90-year-old woman from Ohio has done the opposite, setting a new Guinness World Record and redefining expectations of strength and fitness in later life.
Ann Crile Esselstyn, a resident of Pepper Pike, achieved the record for the oldest woman to hold a dead hang after suspending her body weight for two minutes and 52 seconds. The feat surpasses the previous record held by 81-year-old Annie Judis of California, who managed two minutes and one second.
