I saw her and I thought this is, this looks wonderful.

And I remember so clearly going, I want to get stronger.

By 65 she was competing in ninja tournaments.

MacColl, a grandmother of two, has the upper body strength of someone half her age.

MacColl has competed three times onAmerican Ninja Warrior.

I dont expect to win the million dollars, MacColl explained to WECT.

But if I can just get a little bit further each time.

you might determine how youre going to age by what youre doing now, she continued.

So I saw my mom that couldnt open jars and things.

I see people in walkers.

MacColl has also appeared in three movies:Poms,Stars Fell on Alabama, andHallmarksUSS Christmas.

She plans to continue training and hopes to compete onAmerican Ninja Warrioragain in 2025.

Go, Ginny, go!
