100-year-old Japanese woman sets her own 1,500-metre freestyle swim record Mostly interested in sport only the absolute world records, so regardless of the age group. In our current world, however, people are getting older and for many sports are guided retirement records.An extreme retirement record was recently set up.
The 100-year-old Japanese Mieko Nagaoka launched a world record in the category F100 over 1500 m freestyle. She managed the route in 1 h and 16 min.
