Incredible: 81 yr old runs 29 second 200m (video)

His name is Kenton Brown, not Keton Brown. When you spell his name correctly and paste it into Google, he is all over the internet and super legit. Amazing!

His 29.20 at 80 equivalent 20.94 open

29.70 age 81 equals 21.04

36.33 at 91 last year best in that age group- 21.23 open

M90 200 record 36.02 - 21.61

M75 record is 27.14 equivalent 20.73

Won't be long until a 100 year old can cover 200m in 47 seconds.

Another impressive record, possibly a 26.40 200m Womens age 60 this year..

He ran 14.11 at 80. better than 29.70 by far

THANKS ROJO!!!

I TOLD all you MFers that we would start seeing older people run faster and faster!

and it doesn't have to just start with us young whippersnappers when we're 50+ in 2040!!

mission 10.0x at age 45 and 11.0 at 65 are commencing today

Confused, what does altitude have to do with whether or not it’s AI generated?

Huh?

Proves the point it try is to make??

Altitude would help someone break 30 at age 81. So its a little more believable that someone does that. I think my logic was backwards.

A man running 22s in the 200 is more impressive than this. The reason many 80 year olds don’t do this is because there is no money and no scholarships for running 29. Lastly, I can’t help but comment that old white people are the ones going for these records. I love white people, but we have to do better than this. Good for him and all, he’s healthy, but is this really a worth athletic feat? Are the standards that low?

Kenton is the real deal. He's three years older than me, so we only overlap a couple of years, but I've finished second to him when we did race.

Around 2010, I noticed that whenever those born after WWII moved into a new age group, world records began to fall at a greater rate than before. Better nutrition and better living conditions played a part. More recently, it's been improved training methods, better shoes, and better recovery methods.

Simply put, today's M80 elite track runners are functionally younger than their M80 counterparts of a couple of decades ago.

He is a role model for healthy aging. Older track and field athletes like this show that 70+ year olds aren't automatically doomed to frailty and and weekly doctors visits.

He should be an inspiration to millions of seniors... as are the other runners in that race, including one of my teammates, Roger Pierce, who is recovering from back surgery and finished just outside the podium in that race.

I hear you, but A man running 22s in the 200 is more impressive than this.

We have to stop praising seniors like they are some kings and queens when they do something mediocre. Most 80 year olds are fragile and have issues - that’s a combination of human genetics and also life choices. If there was a world championships for 80 year olds in track and field with millions of dollars on the line, the record would probably be like 24-25 seconds. This is not a superhuman feat. It’s a feat of a healthy man who doesn’t pride in being a fragile old victim. Good for him.

So you’re saying people who live at altitude have a higher rate of creating AI generated videos than those who do not

what a crazy take . I'm 71 and the reason is (1) most people over 65 don't run period - if they ever did & this guy quite the outlier and (2) injuries and/or health reasons
