105-year-old woman's world record in running 100 meters! [video]

The Dhaka Times Desk At the age of 105, she entered the world's oldest female track and field athlete by participating in the 100m race.

Julia Hawkins, a retired teacher from the US state of Louisiana, crossed the finish line in less than 1 minute and 3 seconds. Although it took a little longer to finish than expected, he expressed enthusiasm.

প্রতিযোগিতা শেষে তিনি আরও বলেন, “পরিবারের সদস্য এবং বন্ধুবান্ধবদের দেখতে পেয়ে খুবই ভালো লেগেছে। তবে আমি এক মিনিটের কম সময়ের মধ্যে দৌড় শেষ করতে চেয়েছিলাম।”

He set this record by participating in the state level selection process to participate in the biennial National Senior Games.

Earlier in 2017, he crossed the finish line in 100-104-year-old 100 meters in just 39:62 seconds. Diane Friedman, a 100-year-old woman, broke that record in September.

According to the National Senior Games Association, the list of track and field athletes over the age of 105 has previously featured men, but this is the first time a woman has entered the list.

Previously, Japanese sprinter and shot putter Hidekichi Miyazaki and Polish runner Steinslow Kowalski had completed the 100m race at the age of over 105.

Julia Hawkins was also once a regular cyclist. Later he lost interest in cycling as the competition decreased.

He started running at the age of 100. He also said that he has no plans to retire from racing now.
