100-year-old pole vaulter Don Pellmann sets records

Спорт

Don Pellmann of Santa Clara, California, makes three attempts at becoming the first 100-year-old to clear a height in the pole vault. At the San Diego Senior Olympics on Sept. 20, 2015, he sets age-group world records in the long jump and high jump - and extends the world record in the discus with each of his three throws. His world records in the 100-meter dash and shot put are in another video from the meet at San Diego Mesa College. For details, see Times of San Diego: timesofsandiego.com/sports/201...

    You're the kid that gives respect to a guy for walking down the street, another guy that scratches right behind his ear for an itch and you have the utmost of respect and reverence to a man who once sneezed into his elbow. Moral of the story? Your respect is worth less than a dried up dog shit stain on the lawn.
