I will participate, there's no full stop," Kaur was quoted telling to the reporters at the event.

Eight years ago, when she was 93, Kaur's son Gurdev Singh came up with the suggestion that she start participating in the international masters games circuit. Kaur then cleared the medical check-ups and since then the mother-son duo has been taking part in athletics meets around the world, reports the news site.

Kaur's strict diet includes wheat grass juice and a glass of kefir (fermented milk) every day. Apart from 100m sprint, she will also participate in the 200m sprint, two kg shot put, and 400-gram javelin, taking her medal tally to 20!

"Man Kaur truly personifies the 'sport for all' philosophy which World Masters Games is all about and we are thrilled to have her here," World Masters Games 2017 chief executive Jennah Wootten told AFP.

"I have no doubt that she and many of the other 24,905 athletes competing in these games are inspiring others to lead more active lifestyles and take up a sport."
