Indian athlete Man Kuar has taken out the 100-metre sprint at the World Masters Games in Auckland at the age of 101.
Kaur, nicknamed the "miracle from Chandigarh", celebrated with a little victory dance after completing the race in one minute 14 seconds.
She was the only athlete to compete in her 100-years-and-over age category, and was only allowed to run after undergoing a medical examination.
"I enjoyed it and am very, very happy," she said through a Punjabi interpreter, the reported.
"I'm going to run again, I'm not going to give up. I will participate, there's no full stop."
It is the 17th gold medal Kaur has collected in her athletics career, which started when she was 93 after her son, Gurdev Singh, suggested she join him in competing on the international Masters Games circuit.
Kaur, who is the oldest athlete competing at the World Masters Games in New Zealand, will also compete in the 200m sprint, shotput and javelin.
