Age need not be a “bar”..!<br />
If Man Kaur at 101 can.......Why not others…?!<br />
An awe-inspiring story of achievement is here!<br />
Mrs. Man Kaur aged 101 years from Chandigarh<br />
won 100m Sprint in the “100 years and<br />
over”category at Auckland, New Zealand in the<br />
recently concluded “World Master Games” which<br />
attracted around 25,000 competitors. She took<br />
her own time of 1 minute 14 seconds to cover the<br />
distance to take her 17th Gold medal in her enviable<br />
sports career to break into a self confident and<br />
sprighty celebration of the classic victory later.<br />
Man Kaur took up athletics at the age of 93 as<br />
suggested by her son Gurdev Singh. She had<br />
no previous exposure in Sports. Since then this<br />
great mother and son had been taking part in<br />
different International Masters Games and,<br />
more important, enjoying the participation.<br />
Although she was lone competitor, the spirit,<br />
energy and attitude are to be appreciated<br />
and worth emulation to the best extent.<br />
Behold; she competed in 200m Sprint, 2kg Shot<br />
put and 400gm Javelin in Auckland to take her gold<br />
medal tally to a whopping 20 ! (Wonder whether<br />
Usain Bolt “the Great” is seriously thinking to leave<br />
athletics and join Football because of this…!?)<br />
Moral of the story ! The story of Man Kaur should<br />
help the society to come out of the “retirement<br />
phobia” and urge to live on smartly as ever or better.<br />
Yes, go on... and on till spontaneous full stop !<br />
