Oda Lagerberg may be 82, but that hasn't stopped her from entering a modelling competition.
The Tauranga woman was often told she didn't look her age so she decided to put that to the test this weekend.
The 82-year-old was the oldest person to register for the indulge Bay Model competition. More than 100 women came to the Bay of Plenty Times office over the weekend to try out their luck at the 2014 competition.
"I always worked hard but I never had a chance to go in anything," Mrs Lagerberg said.
"Now I'm retired and everybody says I don't look my age. I don't expect to win but I wanted to be the oldest entrant," she said.
