Japanese 95-year-old sets record
Kozo Haraguchi was the only man running
A 95-year-old Japanese man has slashed the world 100 metres sprint record for men aged 95-99, clocking 22.04 seconds.
Kozo Haraguchi, who only took up running aged 65, was the only person in his race in the southern city of Miyazaki.
He took almost two seconds off the previous record in this age group, which stood at 24.01.
Mr Haraguchi said that it was the first time he had raced in the rain, and he was concentrating hard on not slipping.
"Everyone was cheering me on so I kept thinking I mustn't fall over," he told reporters.
Mr Haraguchi also holds the world record for the same distance in the 90-94 age range, of 18.08 seconds.
He said the secret of his success was taking an hour-long daily walk around his neighbourhood. -

Wonder what he did before he was 65 ... was he like some triathlete or was he *gasp! a regular couch potato?!
Would be interesting to know, wouldn't it? -

Saw it in the news, that's really something.
22 odd seconds for a 95 yr old is really fast.
Most that age can't walk steadily...not to mention sprint! -
