Blind Champ

Colorado -- 59-year-old Army Vet Jim Stevens wanted to give up many times, but his daughters wouldn't let him, according to aolnews.com.

And it is a good thing he listened his girls because Mr Stevens is the oldest man to ever win the men's fighting competition at the nation wide martial arts Tournament of Champions.

Oh, and he is also legally blind.

On top of that he's a world-renowned scrimshaw artist - tiny etches in ivory, filled in with pigment to make glorious designs.
