SETS SWIM RECORD: A 100-year-old
Japanese woman set a new record Monday when she became the first
centenarian to complete a 1,500-meter freestyle swim. Mieko Nagaoka
did the race in just over an hour and 15 minutes—especially
impressive given that she only took up swimming at age 80. Her
goals are modest: “I want to swim until I turn 105 if I can live
that long,” she told the Kyodo News.
