Hello. Greetings from Boonary TV. In today's topic of bizarre news, we'll see a "105 year old woman athlete". How does she stay so fit even at this age? What does she eat? Let's find out.

She is Man(n) Kaur. She hails from Patiala in Punjab. She is India's oldest and fastest athlete. Everyone is proud of her. Even at this age, she is taking part in athletics and winning accolades. What's her life story? Let me share with you today. Mann Kaur's height is just about 5 feet and though she is old, she is very active. She is currently 105 years old, but she is fit as a fiddle and is taking part in athletics down to this day and also winning them. Although Mann Kaur is old, she has no chronic ailments. She is healthy and fit and her blood haemoglobin (HB) count is 13 plus. Usually now-a-days even youngsters have problems with low blood count and are weak but she is going great at this age. So many years and she still participates in various sport events and is achieving feat. When you look at her fitness, you might obviously think she's been training right since childhood or some might wonder if she received active training during her growing up years in school, but what you're wondering, is that really true? No. Any guesses as to what age she must have taken part in athletics? 93. That was her age when started training. Who trained and motivated her to do so? Take a look.

The man in this picture is Gurdev Singh. He is Mann Kaur's personal trainer and coach. He is the one who helped Mann Kaur to participate in athletics even at this age. Gurdev Singh is currently 85 years old. He himself was also an athlete for long. Do you know who exactly is Gurdev Singh? Any guesses? He is Mann Kaur's son. Yes, her own son is her coach and trainer. Watching her son Gurdev training during his athletic days was an inspiration for Mann Kaur, but that's not it. He was not just her inspiration but also her personal coach and trainer who guided her to reach this point. In her career so far, Mann Kaur has participated in various sport events and won many accolades. She has won many global competitions securing gold medals for herself. How many do you think she's got so far? 31 international gold medals and the number of gold medals she has secured in India events is 13 national golds; and there is no stopping her with her increasing age. She is still in full spirits to keep winning more events. Earlier, Mann Kaur in the year 2016 at the American Masters Meet, had taken part in a sprint of 100 m, wherein she clocked and set a record of 1.21 minutes. Then in the year 2017, at New Zealand she bettered it and completed another 100m sprint within 1.17 minutes. She broke her own record. Later in the year 2019, in Poland, Mann Kaur had taken part in 200 m sprint and 60 m sprint. She completed the 60m race in just 36 seconds. She won gold medals in sprint, javelin throw and shot put. She has been given a great award for her achievements. What's that? Take a look.

On 8 March 2020 that's the International Women's Day, Mann Kaur was handed over the Nari Shakti Puraskar award. The award was presented by the President and Prime minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi. She is the receiver of this great award. She is nicknamed as the "Miracle of Chandigarh". Mann Kaur and her son are always together wherever they go. He takes care of her diet too and cooks for her. Once Mann Kaur and her son were both invited at a university to motivate students and share some words of wisdom to inspire them. That's when Mann Kaur said that she doesn't eat any junk or outside food. Her diet includes only home-grown food. What does she eat? It includes nuts and pulses like dals, home grown soy milk. She also has kefir which is like thin curd. Then she has wheatgrass juice, and sprouted wheat which they turn into chapatis. Mann Kaur has two sons and a number of grandchildren and great grandchildren, but there is no stopping her zeal with her advancing age. Because she's old, she doesn't want to stop herself from participating in athletics and living a retired and content life at home with nothing to do. She is determined to keep herself active and to push herself to the limits of physical endurance. This old lady Mann Kaur's life story teaches us an important lesson that there is no age limit in trying out or learning something new. Learning and gaining experience is not bound by age barrier. We must imitate her and remember that just because we're growing old doesn't mean we give up or lose motivation. No. Keep that age barrier aside and try out learning something new.
