The state of this

I reckon I could have beaten her...









...probably...





...if someone was holding a pie just in front of me.

A tad OTT and "only in America" perhaps, but kudos to her for even attempting it l say.

Oh, and l definately wouldn't have beaten her!

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Respect! Fastest thing since the Pope doing a lap of honour at Ibrox

 

[Rogero]

Faster than Ryan Harley !

 

[Brownstuff]

Faster than Jimmy Case in his last season with us

Can't we put on her on a bike, so everyone can scream... Drug cheat!

 

[Seagull58]

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.

Hip replacement waiting to happen.

Was thinking this might be a record to attempt should I reach 105 years old, but I've just discovered the men's world record is 34.50 seconds which I reckon I'd struggle with now. Let alone after I've put my body through another 60 years of abuse. Suppose I've got plenty of time to train for it.

Just get a sex change for your 105th birthday then you should be able to smash this biddy's record just by walking the course.

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)

Well said! She’s 105! One hundred and five!

1.5 times the three score years and ten!

I was impressed , let's see how the smart arse do now and then when they are that age.

hope she was tested

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.

Masters Athletics has 5 year Age Bands. I would be sure she is the first female to run in this group. I’m currently halfway into the 60-65 Age Group.

Hope she gets the 110+ record.
