Meet the 105-year-old athletics champion

This is Sawang Janpram, a gold medallist from the World Masters Games in Taiwan.

What makes him special? He's 105-years-old!

He was the oldest person competing in four events - discus, javelin, shot put and 100 metre sprint.

He was also the only person in his age category of 100 years or older.

This meant if he finished an event he was guaranteed to get a gold medal - and he bagged four of them in total!

According to news agency AFP, Sawang, who is from Thailand, started competing at the age of 90!

It was all thanks to his 73-year-old daughter, Siripan, who also competes at events.

She is an athlete with the Thai Veteran Athletics Association, and would often take her dad along to watch her compete.

He liked the atmosphere and decided to give it a go - a great decision with four gold medals now in his collection.

Speaking about his new hobby, Sawang said: "Exercise makes our life better and we get to meet friends who also exercise.

"It's like our lives are livelier and we do not feel lonely at home."

Sawang competed in four events: Shot put (shown here), discus, javelin and 100m sprint
