When it's about love, it is said that age doesn't matter. But would you associate the same with sports like a marathon with ages 100+? It is said, you need will, strong determination and consistency in your work to keep going and keep moving. Exactly these are the key ingredients in the life of 116-year-old Dharampal Gujjar who still can run a marathon and is fit and healthy, where no one at this age could be.
The 6 feet tall Gujjar credits his balanced diet and his own prepared chutney (out of herbs) for his longevity and healthy body. Dharampal hails from Gudha village in Meerut district, Uttar Pradesh.
The man who has seen three centuries has been running in all the marathons conducted for the age groups 80+s. He has won many of the marathons and is still wishing to break many more records. His only wish left is to break the record of Fauja Singh (101-year-old) of 10km marathon.
If age is considered and his claims supported by his Pan Card and Voter card believed true, he undoubtedly becomes the oldest person alive in the world. The recent oldest person Salustiano Sanchez 112 years died recently, September this year in New York and the other a Japanese woman 115 years old Misao Okawa is still alive.
