It was indeed a proud moment for India when 100-year-old Man Kaur won a gold medal on Monday at the American Masters Games. She needed almost a minute-and-a-half to cross the finish line in the 100-meter dash, but she still picked up a gold medal Monday at the American Masters Games. That’s because the 100-year-old Kaur was the only female competitor in her age category at the competition for older athletes
The Americas Masters Games is a sporting event held in Vancouver that takes place over 9 days and features athletes that are over 30 years of age. Man Kaur participated in the 100 meters race.
Kaur began running at age 93 at the suggestion of her son, 78-year-old Gurdev Singh, who also competes in the Masters Games and says he knew she could become a star in her age category.
She has won more than 20 medals, including snatching three golds this week, as she is the only competitor in the category for women over 100.
