Coming back to story of Man Kaur! "When she wins, she goes back to India and she is excited to tell others, 'I have won so many medals from this country'. Winning makes her happy" said Kaur's son Gurudev Singh, mentioned in press agency . He went on to add further, "She encourages other old ladies, that they should run, they should not eat wrong foods, and they should encourage their children also to take part in the Games."
When she crossed the finish line in Vancouver she stood there smiling, with her hands raised in the air, the other contenders most of them in their 70s and 80s were there cheering for her. Kaur's energy and drive to compete has become an inspiration to participants in the unique international event for athletes.

Many of us would struggle to get out of bed after reaching 90 years or so, while most might not even live that long, but not everyone falls in the same cohort,while probably thinking about about their illness and how pray for death to come fast. Man Kaur thinks about improving her timing in the 100 meters sprint.Man Kaur gives us major life goals.
Your are an Inspiration, Lady. Go on!
