Watch: 105-Year-Old Woman Creates New Record In 100-Metre Race

45.40 seconds that's what it took for the 105-year-old Rambai to beat all odds and set a new record in 100m at the inaugural National Open Masters Athletics Championships -- conducted by the Athletics Federation of India -- that concluded in Vadodara. The inspirational Rambai had participated in the above-100 category but finished up running the race alone, due to a lack of candidates in the category.

While winning in the competition she broke the record of 101-year-old Maan Kaur who garnered fame after winning gold in 100m in 74 seconds at the World Masters meet. With 45.40 seconds, a Haryana woman has now set a new record in the 100m.
