For proof that age is just a number, look no further than Man Kaur.
The 101-year-old Indian runner took home her 17th career gold medal Monday at the World Masters Games in New Zealand by completing the 100-meter dash in 1:14. As the AFP noted, that's just 64.42 seconds off Usain Bolt's 100 meter world record.
Kaur was the lone woman who entered the 100-years-and-older category for the dash. She only started running eight years ago at the age of 93.
