Oldest Woman Broke a World Record in the Shot Put
The oldest female athlete at the World Masters Games in Sydney has broken a world record in the shot put—at the age of 100.All eyes were on Ruth Frith from Brisbane, as she arrived on the second day of the World Masters Games, hoping to win gold in the shot put.She felt pretty confident as she was the only competitor in the over100s category.
But her 4.07metre throw on Sunday didn't just win her gold, but also broke a world record.“As long as I didn't foul(犯规) I was going to win it,”Frith told reporters.The great grandmother is also a keen hammer(链球) and javelin(标枪) thrower and believes other old persons should follow her example.
Frith trains five days a week, regularly lifting 35kg weights.She doesn't drink or smoke and she doesn't eat vegetables either, claiming she hasn't liked them since she was young.Frith was clearly a star of the World Masters Games, an event which attracts about 28,000
athletes.Despite her age, she has no plan to retire just yet. She contested her first World Masters Athletics Championships at the age of 74.
