Aussie Ruth Frith recently won quite a few gold medals and set a new world record in the shot put at the World Masters Championships this past weekend. Her throw was 4.07 meters (13 feet 4 inches.) Ruth turned 100 years old earlier this year, and hopes to compete in the next World Masters championship in 2013. She began competing at the tender age of 74.
Here’s a video with her world record toss:
