Ingemar participated in the swedish tv show champion of champions (guess you have something similar in US) in 2011 at 55 years of age competing vs various different and younger athletes from sweden.
Since he is ingemar he ofcourse won the show that season.
Not all events were physical ofc but damn that man was and is as fit as ever, amazing really.
Here he is jumping at 55, amazing shape regardless of age!

Three years later he win the swedish "lets dance" season of 2015 and makes a similar jump, guess he is close to 60 here.
