Recently, 104 year old Stanisław Kowalski set a new record by becoming the oldest person in Europe to run 100 metres. He is eight years older than the previous record holder..a 96 year old Japanese man and ran the distance more than a second faster, crossing the line in 32.79 seconds.
‘I feel like a new man,’ he said after finishing. The grandfather, who was competing during the Youth Olympics in Wroclaw, Poland, only began running 12 years ago.
Kowalski, who was born in 1910 claimed he was in such good condition because he never went to see the doctor and had done anything that pleased him.
