While most people retire after a certain age and prefer to relax, this story will surely inspire millions. A 105-year-old lady named Rambai set a new national record in the 100-metre sprint.
While participating in the inaugural edition of the National Open Masters Athletics Championships, the grand old lady clinched a golden double in sprints, completing the 100-metre race in 45.40 seconds and the 200-meter sprint in 1 minute, 52.17 seconds.
"It's a great feeling and I want to race again," Rambai told the Times of India.
She broke the 5-year-old national record created by Man Kaur, who completed the 100-meter race in 74 seconds. Kaur was 101 years old then.
