Meet Diane Friedman — a 100-year-old athlete who’s showing the world that age doesn’t have to slow you down.

She didn’t even start running until she turned 70. But now, at 100, she’s breaking records and turning heads. On August 15th at the Michigan Senior Olympics, Diane shattered three major records — making her the fastest woman in the world over the age of 100!

She set new world records in both the 100-meter and 200-meter races for the 100–104 age group, and also broke the American record in the javelin throw. In the 100-meter dash, she finished in 36.71 seconds — nearly 3 seconds faster than the previous record.

Diane’s story is living proof that it’s never too late to start something new, push yourself, and dream big. 💪
