[Other Sport] New world record set for 100m

[dazzer6666]

I don't disagree that it's impressive for someone of that age but the whole world record bit is over the top when the article says she created the 105+ category after her 100+ record was broken. I reckon I could set numerous world records if I could create my own categories.

Agreed. All you’ve got to do do is live to 105, keep running and be faster than anyone else at that age. Post on here with your time when you have.

That is serious IMPRESSIVE at that age.

Don't know the stats, but surely 99% (probably even higher) of the population don't even reach that age, let alone can move anything like that speed.

Any smartarse comments aren't worth it on this thread. People marvelled at Captain Tom trundling up and down for charity, that US lady is something else (speed I mean, not cash raised for charity)

Correct….it’s incredible.

Her record for 100+ has been beaten so she created a new category 105+, which almost certainly means no other person aged 105 or older has ever been timed running 100m. It's a sham for publicity.

It's the 'Merican way.
