102-Year-Old Indian Woman Wins Gold Medal At World Masters Athletics Championship

"Age is just a number" - This quote has been proven by India's oldest female athlete Man Kaur. Hailing from Patiala in Punjab, the 102-year-old athlete has made India proud by clinching the gold medal at the World Masters Athletics Championship in the 200 metre race.

According to a report in History TV18, Kaur began her career at the age of 93, after being encouraged by her son Guru Dev. "When she ran for the first time, she completed a 100 metre track in 1 minute and 1 second," her son said.

Twitter has been flooded with messages in support of the athlete after former actor and supermodel Milind Soman tweeted about her victory.

This is not the first time Kaur has won a gold medal. Last year, she won gold in the 100 metres category at the World Masters Games in Auckland, New Zealand.
