Washington (DC) – Nancy Davies, an 84-year-old woman living in a retirement community, defeated a real-life bowling champion in a Wii Sports tournament in the nation’s capital.

Davies played Hal Winters, 79, in the final match at the Riderwood Retirement Community. While Winters has been playing bowling for most of his life, and won a bowling tournament earlier this year, Davies was able to defeat him with just one year of Wii practice.

The DC area retirement center received a few Wii units in March, and spokesperson Daniel Dunne said it instantly became a hit. It also hosts hockey and shooting tournaments.

Davies’ final score was 202, edging out Winters’ 182. She used to work in a bowling alley, and has watched her grandsons play the Wii game, but she said she just “got lucky”.
