Wow, titanium "I-knee-do" to the groin ... I really do hope this left a lasting and painful impression.
Australia -- A 72-year-old Olympic swimming great reportedly fought off an intruder who threatened to kill her, according to int.iol.co.za.
The 72-year-old Australian swimming legend claimed she might have "lost it" when she confronted two youths who woke her when they entered her daughter's home in Noosaville, Queensland. She said a young male grabbed her around the throat threatened to kill her.
"With that I grabbed him around the ear and hair and kneed him in the groin," she said. "I have got a titanium knee so it must have hurt him," she added.

'I-knee-do' #2
As you may know by now, 'I-knee-do' refers to the art of gently (kind of...) placing (sort of...) your knee where it's likely to hurt. This 'way of the harmonious knee' should only be used on folks who totally asks for it - kind of like they 'kneed it' (bad pun, I know) :-)

'I-knee-do' #1
Great fighting spirit in this "older" guy! If it is totally wise to fight back at that point is another matter all together. I suppose the "spirit" just came over him.
Story:
Pennsylvania -- In Sunbury, an older church leader fought off a would-be robber as he left the church Wednesday night.
The man explained he had finished locking the doors and was walking down a ramp when he saw a man wearing a black mask.
When he was asked for money, the church leader said he didn't have any. However, the man said he was going to check the church leader's pockets anyway.
The church leader, with what he described "just a moment to think", kneed the main in the groin, and punched him to the face. He then ran to his car parked nearby and locked himself inside.
A police spokesman said the criminal took off booking down an alley after the confrontation with the intended victim.
