well done Jeannie. u r an inspiration to all the people who quit doing things they love due to old age. World can b conquered at any age if one has desire. Old age should not b the reason to stop chasing dreams.

Hey, we all have been listening to different comments on the cricketers!! They are getting old, we need a young team..& now a lady does something good most of the readers are saying age does not matter!! Are we really clear abt our opinion or just see the result & make up our mind

Age does not matter, but performance matters, our indian cricketers instead of gaining from experience, they are going back to galli cricket age

Rediff, check the dictionary for the meaning of the word "Abuse".. it says "Change the inherent purpose or function of something". Isnt this an abuse?????

Its a shame that Jeannie missed a podium finish, again proof of the fact that age is no bar for games, fitness matters.
