105 Year Old Athlete Entered Guinness World Record, Challenges Usain Bolt

Kyoto, Japan: 105-year-old Japanese runner, Hidekichi Miyazaki has set a world record in 100-meter race which paved him way in Guinness Book of World Records.
Senior citizen athlete raced into the Guinness World Records reference book on Wednesday and declared himself a “medical morvel” as he continues to stalk sprint king Usain Bolt.
Hidekichi Miyazaki, titled ‘Golden Bolt’ after the fastest man on the planet, clocked 42.22 seconds in Kyoto to set a 100 meters world record in 105-age category. A day after reaching the milestone age, “I’m not happy with the time,” Miyazaki told.

“I started shedding tears during the race because I was going so slowly. Perhaps I’m getting old! I’m still a beginner, you know, he said, grinning from ear to ear. I’ll have to train harder. Training was going splendidly, so I had set myself a target of 35 seconds. “I’m proud of my health,” added Miyazaki, the poster boy for Japan’s turbo-charged geriatrics in a country with one of the world’s highest life expectancy. My brain might not be the sharpest but physically I’m tip-top. I’ve never had any health problems. The doctors are amazed by me.”

“Two or three years ago Bolt came to Japan and said he wanted to meet me. There was a call about it but I was out and he left without meeting me. I felt deeply sorry.” Miyazaki, who was born in 1910, only took up running in his early 90s and prepares for races by taking a sneaky catnap.
