A 95-year-old dentist has smashed a world record over 200 metres.
Dr Charles Eugster set the new record at the Lee Valley Athletics Centre in northeast London at the weekend.
Eugster knocked 2.4 seconds off the previous record in the over-95 years old category with a time of 55.48 seconds.
The Evening Standard reported that Eugster took up exercise around 10 years ago because his body was “deteriorating”.
