Olympiad, Lexi-style! Join in our Ping Pong party, before and after the film. Pre-film warm-up on our very own ping pong table out in the Pleasure Garden, under the guidance of a coach. After the film and Q&A, join in a Round the World tournament. Everyone invited, everyone a winner! Suggested bevvy: Ping and Tonic.
Never too old to go for Gold – celebrate inveterate spirit and indomitable old agers in this exhilarating documentary. Live Q&A with the film makers.
Les D’Arcy is a living legend. At 89 years old, he’s obviously not received the memo about slowing down, and is going for gold, literally.
He’s headed to China to compete in the over 80s Table Tennis Championships in Inner Mongolia. A seven time world champion, he still lifts weights to train – something he’s been doing for decades, after surviving a sickly childhood. Of course, compared to some, Les is a spring chicken.
Australian legend Dorothy deLow is 100, and finds herself a mega celebrity in this rarefied world. She’d better watch out though – Texan Lisa Modlich is fifteen years her junior and is determined to do what it takes to win her first gold.
Director/Producer team Hugh and Anson Hartford follow eight players from five countries, as they prepare to compete in this extraordinary sporting event that is as much about the tenacity of the human spirit as it is about taking home the title. They will be with us afterwards for a Q&A.
