SYDNEY -YAHOO!-(Reuters Life!) – The oldest female athlete at the World Masters Games in Sydney has broken a world record in the shot put — at the age of 100. All eyes were on Ruth Frith, from Brisbane, as she arrived for day two of the World Masters Games, hoping to win gold in the shot put and feeling pretty confident as she was the only competitor in the over-100s category. But her 4.07 metre (13 ft 4.2 in) throw on Sunday didn’t just win her gold, but also broke a world record. more
While I think that Ruth Frith’s accomplishment should be recognized, I think that this guy‘s accomplishments have flown under the radar.
