Fitness is not a question of age: from now on, the battle for the title of "Senior Athlete of the Year" will once again be fought for in this country. The competition runs until the end of September. 

Staying physically fit as we get older not only increases the quality of life of older people, but also makes a positive contribution to a vital and independent life. Above all, the fun of exercise, even in a group, should not be neglected.

Rewarding achievements
"That's why we want to bring the best senior athletes in front of the curtain again this year and honor their achievements with the award," says Provincial Councillor Christiane Teschl-Hofmeister. All fitness enthusiasts aged 60 and over can compete for the title of "Senior Athlete of the Year" until September 30. All those who shine with top placings in championships or exceptional performances in the hobby sector are eligible to take part.
