M95 sprint star
Charles Eugster is focus of a
BBC story and video, and he’s as funny as he is fast. (He holds several sprint WRs.) “Even at 87, I wanted an Adonis body, in order to turn the heads of the sexy, young 70-year-old girls on the beach,” he says. “I wanted a six-pack, but my coach said that we must first work on my bottom, which she said was a catastrophe.” The story says Charles “attributes his longevity to the fact that — bar a pause in his early 80s — he has never really stopped working, and in his late 80s decided to focus on his fitness. He worked as a dentist until he was 75, and is now an athlete who trains three days a week, holds the indoor 200 and outdoor 400 sprint world records for men over 95.” Now 97, he’s entered in the 100, 200 and long jump at
Perth worlds, where he’ll have plenty of W70s to impress. But first he’ll have to beat two Aussies in both sprints. Go get ’em, Charles! Break some records — and hearts.
