That is sensational. Fair play to him. Good dose of acceleration there at the start too I noticed.

That's what I want to be doing when I am 70 years old!

That is amazing. I am 61 and couldn’t dream of running that fast

Be strong. Be in shape. Be a man among men, regardless of your age or circumstances.

How cool!

Listen, if you want to see more like this--and a great film, to boot--have a look at the documentary Autumn Gold. It's about that. And here's the trailer: Autumn Gold trailer

Hey Coach,

you´d love this movie. There is Alfred in it. He is a 100 year old discus thrower from Vienna, Austria.
Besides throwing his discus, he is a passionate drawer of nudes in arts classes. Just in case you don´t know what to do in your late 90s ;-)

I think the movie is just a blast. Such awesome role models. Did you know, for instance, that the Italian woman from the trailer is Gabre Gabric? She took tenth place in the discus at the Olympic Games -- in 1936 in Berlin! And the hundred year old discus thrower is Alfred Proksch, also started in 1936, but as one of Europe's best pole vaulters. He took sixth.

That's the kind of longevity in sports I want :)
