His balanced diet is the secret to his longevity and health, he claims
The 35th National Masters Athletic Championship held in South India saw an unbelievable record being created.
Dharampal Gujjar cleared 200 meters in 46.74 seconds and won the 400 meters.
Now, if that’s no great task, then the winner is 116 years old, according to a report in NDTV.
Standing 6-ft tall, Gujjar, has participated in several marathons.
If his voter card is to be believed, then he, indeed, is the oldest person alive in the world.
He has not sought funds from the government. His co-workers help him financially to participate in events.
His balanced diet is the secret to his longevity and health, he claims.
The times you list are for 400 meters. He ran 200.
And the 2nd oldest prays for him every night.........
200 meters is half a lap. World record is 19.8 seconds.
Sorry….world record is 19.19 by Usain Bolt.
He’s not 116.
The Falcons want to sign him to be running back. He's only a little older than Steven Jackson, but is twice as fast.
“That’s pretty dangerous, being the oldest person in the U.S. No one seems to live very long in that position.”

Nonsense, a study of obituaries will certainly reveal that almost no one EVER dies after the age of 110 so that must mean that they live forever.
By pure coincident, his new diet book will hit the shelves on March 15. Preorder now!
According to Wikipedia, the oldest man alive now is 111 years old. The oldest woman is 115 (will be 116 on March 5).
