A Japanese pensioner has set a world record by running the 100-meter distance in just under 43 seconds.
It seems, well, what's so special about this? But try running like that yourself when you're 105 years old.
105-year-old Hidekichi Miyazaki ran 100 meters in 42.22 seconds.
Representatives of the Guinness Book of Records called his result more than worthy.
It is worth considering that at this age many people simply cannot get out of bed.
But Miyazaki not only managed to do this, but also allowed himself to compete with athletes who were 20 years younger than him.
The race was organized in Kyoto.
None of the planet's long-lived people have yet been able to break the record in the "105+" category.
The pensioner also planned to compete with the Jamaican runner, Olympic champion and 11-time world champion in short distances, Usain Bolt.
He came to Japan, but the meeting did not take place, which greatly upset the 105-year-old runner.
It is worth noting that Bolt was born in 1986, and Miyazaki in 1910.
