Malaga: Age is just a number, and that was proved my 102-year-old woman athlete Man Kaur who recently clinched gold medal at World Masters Athletics here in Spain.

Man Kaur, who won a 100m sprint at the World Masters Games in Auckland last year, had taken part in the 100-104 age category event.

However, her story of records does not end there. In 2016, she became the world’s fastest centenarian during the American Masters Games in Vancouver.

Man Kaur is India’s oldest athlete. She started her career in sports at the age of 93, and took inspiration from her son Guru Dev.
