Japan’s ‘Golden Bolt’ Challenges Superstar To Race At 103 Years Old

Interestingly, Miyazaki running only took 92 years of age, after seeing an older woman who competes in the shot put on television. Given that only had 11 years in the sport, your ultimate goal is to continue in athletics and set the world record in the category of 105 to 109 in a couple of years.
"That's what I'm training for," Miyazaki said. "It's my birthday next month, and that's my next goal. Can run for another five years."
While impressive individual doublet Bolt in the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008 was mainly driven by the chicken nuggets, Miyazaki must fight their eating habits every day to stay in perfect condition.
"When I eat, chew each bite 30 times before swallowing," he said. "That makes my tummy happy and helps my career. And I like my tangerine jam every day."
Ensure career with Jamaican sprinter is nothing easy feat given chase Bolt for athletics immortality disgust by a heavy schedule race and propensity for injury concern, but hopefully will start a campaign to secure the head to head happens.
And does not look as if Miyazaki is content to finish second, announcing Bolt: "Let's Rumble".
