Any bowler who has struggled with bowling a strike will watch this viral clip with envy, as an older woman wearing a glamorous winter coat and stylish shades seems to do it effortlessly.
Alberto Ascoli, an engineering student at the University of Naples Federico II, says this 84-year-old grandmother in Italy bowled a strike on her first try. If true, talk about beginner’s luck! She seems confident though, given the way she looks at the camera before she bowls and the way she cheers afterwards.
Ascoli appears to be trying to make her into a meme with a Facebook page “The Italian Grandma.”
