Powerlympics 2021
Like our Olympic athletes, our resident are inspiring. Each day, they overcome incredible obstacles with humility, courage and a smile. We think our residents are superhumans. That’s why we created the POWERLYMPICS. 4 weeks of competitions and 1 week of live streamed exhibition events. The games included cycling, weightlifting, long jump and rowing.

Live Exhibition Events Highlights
After 4 weeks of fierce competition and 1 week of exhibition events, it's time to celebrate our amazing athletes with a closing ceremony. Who would have thought aged care residents could jump unsupported for over 120cm? Could row 650m in 90seconds? Could cycle 300m in under 20 seconds? Or lift an 8kg kettlebell more than 40 times in 30 seconds? Well, we did, and they have!
