If you are not giving Lester a standing ovation, you don't know what he just did. Most of us will never see our 100th birthday. I know some great athletes that died in their late 90s. Second, most 100-year-old birthday parties that I have seen the honorary had to be wheeled in in a wheelchair. So hats off for running 100m in under 30 seconds. I do feel for the winner of the race. He was great too.

Age-Centric Focus: Your comment emphasizes the person's age (100 years old) as the primary factor behind the emotional reaction. While it's perfectly reasonable to be moved by such an achievement, focusing solely on age may inadvertently contribute to age-related stereotypes or reinforce the idea that older individuals are only remarkable because of their age. Potential Generalization: While your comment doesn't generalize negatively, there is a risk that some readers might interpret it as implying that all 100-year-olds should be equally celebrated for similar achievements. In reality, individuals vary widely in their abilities and accomplishments, regardless of age.

​@@jasonito23 Your praise may be nice, but the point you are saying is that these athletes are great DESPITE their AGE. And that can be considered positive ageism, which is inhumane, because positive ageism is still ageism, you are reducing these individuals to their age. You can just as easily claim that "black" guys are great lovers (Positive Racism) or that women are excellent at multitasking (Positive Sexism).

The statement "100 years old, and still kicking" is generally meant to be positive and celebratory, rather than a form of ageism. It's used to highlight and applaud someone's longevity and vitality at an advanced age, suggesting that they are still active and engaged in life despite reaching the age of 100. However, it's important to remember that the perception of age and aging can vary among individuals, and some people may find such statements patronizing or potentially reinforcing stereotypes about older individuals. The intent and context in which such statements are made play a significant role in determining whether they are viewed as positive or potentially ageist.

Ran the bays state games in Boston. Play AAA baseball as well. Little league World Series player. I coached all 4 of my kids in various sports. Taught me never give up, try your hardest. I am from PR moved to Salem Ma when I was 11. Came from poor (money wise) family but rich in values. Currently live in TX, you are welcome to come visit and talk to my teenagers. I wish I could go back to being 17 again. HS best years of my single life. My advice is try your hardest on every sport/event. Do it for the team, it will pay off. Never doubt yourself. Run away from negative people. Stick with those who have the same ambitions. Strive to do better every day. Push yourself. I turned 49 a few days ago and I can still do 50 push-ups and clear 5’ high jump even after back surgery. That’s More than people half my age. Anyways my offer is there if you need a reason to do better.

I’m 31 and this brings me so much joy and hope to watch. A flipping hundred!! Heck, to literally every single one of these runners - Wow. What a pure goal to strive for at such an age and so inspiring for the rest of us. All the love and support to these tough fellas.

No kidding. A few years ago at age 45 I ran a 14.5 100 Meters at a local track meet. I should be embarrassed that a guy over 75 can beat me. I didn't even think I was in that bad of shape!

@@GrnXnham I think most people need to be able to run 100m in at least 14-15. Sprint training is very underrated, and people don't bother or understand how it can keep your body very strong and conditioned. Being able to run explosivly can potentially get you out of a dangerous situation, or even save someone's life where every second counts.
