Emma Mazzenga is no ordinary 92-year-old. The Italian is an elite sprinter who has broken multiple world records in track and field. Mazzenga, who was born in 1933, made global headlines in 2024 when she broke the 200-meter world indoor record in the over-90s age group, finishing the race in a time of 54.47 seconds. She still continues to race, both attempting to break records and enjoying the thrill of running. “I just like the competition.

Mazzenga said there isn’t a day that goes by when she doesn’t do some sort of physical activity – but this wasn’t something she did throughout her entire life, despite an early passion for sports.
