Japan's 105 year old sprinter breaks own world record

A Japanese man has raced into the Guinness World Records after running 100m in 42.22 seconds in Kyoto, western Japan.
 
Hidekichi Miyazaki – also known as the Golden Bolt – set the record in the over-105 age category, in which no mark had previously existed.

In spite of the impressive feat at the ripe old age of 105, Miyazaki insisted that he was not satisfied. Im not happy with the time, he told

 I started shedding tears during the race because I was going so slowly. Perhaps Im getting old!

In 2013, the twinkle-toed sprinter reportedly ran 100m in 38.35 seconds
