The participants of the Mumbai Marathon were in for a shock when they found among them a 104 year gentleman who was running in the marathon too.
104 year Fauji Singh, who has acquired fame on the internet as ‘Flying Tornado’ braved nature, aging and pessimism by running the Mumbai Marathon. Fauji Singh had retired from marathons three years ago, and returned to participate in the run amidst cheers and tremendous press coverage.
Earlier, Fauji Singh used to participate in marathons in London when he was well into his 80s. He has been nicknamed the ‘Turbaned Tornado’ by local and international media, and is generally looked upon as an inspiration across running forums and websites across the world.
Fauji Singh has run marathons across the world, most famously the London Marathon in 2012, where he was covered by the local media.
Ok bye now, I gotta go hit the gym!! 😀
