the olympic games get under way this week in paris, where many of the world's greatest athletes will go for gold. cbs news senior contributor ted koppel introduces us to a woman who won't be among the competitors though she is a champion just the same. >> reporter: florence meiler, known throughout vermont and beyond as flo, is a regular feature on burlington high school's athletic fields. her little red wagon is loaded with some of the gear she'll need to train for an upcoming decathlon. flo, who lacks any support staff, is training to compete in ten events ver two days. that will include the hurdles, the shot put, the discus, the javelin, the 100 meters, the 400 meters, and 1,500 meters. before she can even practice the
2:48 am
high jump or the long jump or the pole vault, she has to pull back the tarp that protects each of these venues against the weather. she'll put it all back when she's done. as for the actual jumps, let's put things in their proper perspective. did i mention flo's age? >> there, i got it. >> reporter: on this particular morning in may, she is still 89 years old. >> whoo-hoo! >> all right. >> i did it! >> reporter: so keep in mind as you watch flo vault and jump to relatively modest heights -- >> look at the sky because that helps you throw it further. >> reporter: -- that many people her age can use a little help just getting out of an armchair. >> it must require a lot of strength just to leverage.
2:49 am
>> being brought up on a farm, i was used to lifting up these heavy, heavy hay bales. i got a lot of muscles. >> reporter: flo is an extraordinary athlete. >> what's a good distance for me to be beyond where you're going to land? >> oh, you're safe. >> well, not that safe. >> reporter: with the proper training and coaching 60 or 70 years ago, she might have attained olympic caliber. >> yes! >> wow, i did it! i won all these medals in poland. >> reporter: the window frames and walls of the lakeside home that she and gene, her husband of 64 years, occupy groan under the weight of her accomplishments. >> how many of these medals have you got? >> oh, about 1,500, i think. quite a few. >> do we have to open up a flo meiler memorial hall?
2:50 am
>> probably. >> yeah? >> reporter: it's hard to believe flo's senior track and field career only began 30 years ago. >> i was playing tennis with my husband. >> yeah. >> it was the vermont senior games and barbara jordan, my best friend, said, flo, we're desperate for track people. i would like you to come and try the long jump. you know, i'm saying, barb, are you kidding me? i'm 60 years old. she said, oh, yeah, you'd be good at it. >> reporter: which brings us to a blistering hot weekend at the end of june in charlottesville, virginia, the site of the usa masters combined events championship, which includes the women's decathlon. it's 99 degrees in the shade. the actual temperature of the track, almost 142 degrees. 13 women are competing across all different age categories.
2:51 am
a few weeks ago, flo celebrated her 90th birthday. flo's competition in the 90 to 94 category? nobody. >> i'm really pushing for the ladies decathlon, i'll tell you. if i can do this at 90, we have a lot of other ladies who can do it in their 20s. >> damn right. >> right? >> reporter: what flo is referring to is the fact that there is no decathlon for women at the olympic games. the winner of the men's decathlon is widely considered the greatest athlete in the world. women, they have to make do with a seven-event alternative called the heptathlon. >> there's no women's decathlon at the world championships olympic games, and that's a problem. >> reporter: lauren koontz, herself a decathlete, is also part of a growing movement to overcome the one hurdle that keeps women from competing in
2:52 am
the decathlon in international competition. >> historic sexism. there was a belief really early on in track and field that women were not able to do a lot of the events. and all of that individually has been proven wrong. one of the big ones is women are too weak to pole vault. they don't have the upper body strength. women have been pole vaulting in the olympics since 2000. the one event women are still not allowed to do is the decathlon. >> reporter: world athletics is the governing body that could change that. >> the answer we tend to get is current heptathletes like the heptathlon, and we don't want to get rid of that. it's basically a one or the other, and the response we always give is, well, the young women, the younger generation, they're the ones that want to do a decathlon and like phase it like set a date. set it 2028 or 2032 and say, this is when we're trans transitioning.
2:53 am
everybody has enough time to make adjustments. >> when did you do your first decathlon? >> two years ago when i was 13. >> reporter: 15-year-old sophie said she took out the decathlon because her father and brother were doing it. >> you go from one event to another. it's physically hard on your body because you're doing a lot. it's also mentally, like if i do bad in one event, it's hard to pick yourself back up and go to the next. >> which event do you worry about the most? do you worry at all? >> the 1,500. >> the 1,500. i don't blame you. >> i wouldn't worry about it if it wasn't hot. >> reporter: on this second day of the decathlon before the 1,500, flo has done the hurdles, the discus, the javelin. >> there you go! >> reporter: and the pole vault. >> go, flo! >> reporter: 90-year-old flo in slo-mo. [ cheers and applause ]
2:54 am
>> another official and i measured it with a steel tape to verify it was 113. we'll put that in writing, photographs, send it to the appropriate officials, and they will verify it. >> the bottom line is what? >> my understanding is flo is the world record holder for a 90-year-old pole vaulter. she's having a good day. >> on your marks. >> reporter: what is so demoralizing about the decathlon, especially on a day like this when it feels like way above 100 degrees, is that final event, the 1,500 meters. four times around the track, a shade under a mile. flo only has to complete the race. there's no one in her age group even competing. she can walk it, and for the first three laps, she does. >> go, go, go, flo!
2:55 am
>> reporter: and then when she comes around that last turn, other women decathletes line up behind flo in sort of an honor guard. >> go, go, go, flo! >> reporter: and in a final burst of energy, florence meiler runs the last 100 meters of the women's decathlon. [ bell ringing ] >> one, two, three, go decathlon! >> reporter: there will not be a women's decathlon when the paris olympics get under way in a few days. >> in the women's 90 to 94-year-old age group. >> reporter: -- but four years from now -- >> florence meiler. >> reporter: -- 2028 in los angeles, who knows? tina zimmerman: five years ago, i reconnected with my estranged father, and that's just something i never ever thought could happen. but when he became a believer, he just had this insatiable
2:56 am
appetite to learn the bible, and he began to watch dr. stanley. dr. stanley: god always blesses obedience without an exception. tina: he teaches in a way that it just makes sense, and i feel like that's the way our heavenly father would teach us. hold on... this trip got me alaska gold 75k status?? looks like i leveled up somewhere between san francisco and new york. i knew you earned miles faster than other airlines but like...okay, this is next level. i wonder if they'll take my photo. and put it in every seatback. on every airplane. i really hope fame doesn't change me. ok, 500 deluxe garden gnomes. wow. i only meant to order five. there's not enough money in my account for these. i'm gonna get charged. two things i just can't deal with. overdraft charges. and garden gnomes.
