The oldest bodybuilder in the world

At an age as old as 83, it seems like the best way to pass the time is to sit in your favorite chair with your favorite book or morning paper and enjoy your retirement. But for Ray Moon, this method is not suitable, because he is the oldest bodybuilder in the world and still participates in international bodybuilding competitions. And even wins! The other day, for example, he participated in the International World Fitness Championship in Melbourne, Australia.
