I could not believe this story when I saw it. Now, I think anyone who competes in luge is really brave, or a bit crazy. But a woman in her 50s will be competing in her 6th Olympics if she raises the funding to make it the Turin Olympics next month. Anne Abernathy, or Grandma Luge, as she’s known to fellow competitors has qualified for her 6th consecutive Olympics berth in the sport of luge.

If that isn’t remarkable enough, before the Salt Lake City Olympics, she suffered what could have been a career-ending accident. Suffering severe head trauma, Abernathy underwent a new treatment that involved using video games to retrain the brain.

Look for Grandma Luge at the upcoming Olympics in Turin.
