Barbara's Supergran Golden Years

She’s Got Her Eyes on a New Prize − Beating a World Record.

- Lynley Ward

Whether she’s out in her garden or down at the swimming pool, grandmother of eight and greatgran of five Barbara Graham lives a lifestyle that puts many half her age to shame.

The 79-year-old Levin resident spends each Monday and Wednesday working out at the local gym, while on Tuesday and Fridays you’ll find her pounding the pavement and swimming. Her day off is spent volunteering at a local SPCA shop.

But this isn’t even a patch on her gold-winning exploits at the Masters Games, where she has picked up back-to-back triple gold medals in a sport she only started recently − indoor rowing.
