“Nippy” Nihal Gil is shooting for W100 WR in 100.
Trackos at the
AMG are being teased. An email from organizers says: “Please follow the links to the last results of the Athletics competition at the Americas Masters Games 2016 in Vancouver
[Racewalk] and
[10K] Run.” (But no other events.) Elsewhere, the IAAF Diamond League meet in Paris is the gold standard for how to share results. They had an all-French masters men’s 800 there Saturday, won by 43-year-old
Joël Gomez in 1:56.35. Also a masters women’s 200.
The results show dates of birth. Hey, Vancouver! Where can we see track and field results? The
AMG Twitter feed is no help. (But I found a
link to a story about an M100 entrant who is targeting the 100-meter world record in a race with two over-100s entrants.)
The story says:
Singh said his grandfather, who almost died of pneumonia just before his 100th birthday, is also eying the 100-metre record for centenarians, which is understood to be one minute and 17 seconds, set in May by 100-year-old Ida Keeling at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia.
Great sleuthing, grandson! Geeze, and great editing as well.
In any case, here are results from the Paris IAAF masters events. (And why can’t the IAAF Prefontaine Classic do the same?)

They overlooked some much faster male centenarians… Strange story.

Looks like Senior Games age standards (year of birth, not date of birth)—keeping an eye on one of my training partners,so know he is not in the M55 bracket quite yet—so keep an eye on those potential records that may or may not be broken.
..and as an aside…ran the athlete search on my training partner….doesn’t exist, yet a great photo with silver medal in the long jump!
2016 Diamond League in Paris and Rome included local Masters.. very nice.
Men and Woman 800 meter in one meet. Woman 200 meter in other meet.
