Octogenarians enter world record books

Life begins at 80 for two of this year’s Guinness World Record holders, who have excelled at Djing and acrobatics.

The octogenarians join a host of achievers in the latest catalogue of extreme feats.

Betty Goedhart, 85, from California, soared to the top of the list to become the oldest performing female flying trapeze artist.

Chef-turned-dj Sumiko Iwamura, 83, was named the oldest professional club DJ. The restaurant owner from Tokyo spins the decks after finishing her shifts as a cook.
