Spain’s José Vicente Rioseco crushes Aussie M75 WR in 800

Results from masters meet.

Results from WR 800 masters meet.

Spanish and social media are reporting that José Vicente Rioseco, who turned 75 in late April, ran 800 meters in 2:30.59, crushing the listed WR of 2:34.3 by Australia’s David Carr in 2007. “Not bad. It was not terribly difficult,” José was quoted as saying after Saturday’s meet in Vilagarcía, Spain. He confessed that “the second part was the hardest, besides having enough wind. Between 500 and 700 was the hardest part.” I’m still looking for link to results. (I was sent the image.) But they’ll be here eventually. Here’s the LOC site.

    That is amazing!!!
    Most 75 year olds would settle for one lap that fast.

    Congratulations, Jose Rioseco. Your new M75 800m record will last for many years. Will we see you in Perth in October?
