CHENGDU Ozzie Smith Womens Jersey , Sept. 1 (Xinhua) -- Many seniors can put the younger generation to shame on China's outdoor gyms, but one grandmother has swapped the parallel bars for something a little more risque: Dai Dali is one of the country's most famous pole dancers.


After competing on the TV talent show "Amazing Chinese", and winning a national pole dancing competition in her age category, Dai, 70, is a prime example of how retirement shouldn't just be about winding down.
